l do not think that the statute Of limita-
tions applies to any of the questions disposed
of. The two items of the newspaper ac
count and the excessive salaries are ques-
tions in their very nature that court would
not allow to be affected by the statute. The
other questions are decided for defendants.
Having disposed of every question raised
by the pleading in this case, and upon which
proof was taken an argument made, it
remains only to dispose of the costs in the
case. The costs will be paid from the fund
ordered by the court to be paid into the
treasury of the company.

THE TEN PER CENT. pIvIDENp.

This dividend could have been properly
issued at the time it was done. The condi-
tion of the company authorized it under its
charter. The corporation had money enough
on hand, either in call notes or excess paid
to the construction fund, TO warrant the divi-
dend. Practically there is nothing ia this
question, for the shareholders received the
money, and if it were illegal all the share
holders should be compelled TO return what
was paid them

THE INTEREsr ACCOUNT.

Each one of the directors who borrowed

charged interest at the rate of six per cent.
with annual rests. No agreement on their
part can FIX a rate. They must pay as others,
and as they used the money of the corpora
ton, when it was needed otherwise, they
will be charged with annual rests While
the practice is to be reprehended, vet by
repayment, with interest, the corporation will
lose nothing. Payment has been made by
sale of stock and appropriation of dividends.

THE SALARIES OF THE OFFICERS.


am satisfied that the salaries oil the pres
idsnt, the vice-president and treasurer,
and the superintendent, for a pc
Rod from December 1, 1874, to March,
1873, is excessive, and that they
should be compelled to refund the excess.
While there is great conflict of testimony as
TO value OF services, it is more apparent
than real. The conflict grows out ef the fact
that the witnesses testified upon hypotheti-
cal cases. The action of the parties themselves
show that previous to December, 1874, no
such salaries were paid, and that subsequent
to March, 1878, none such were paid. From
the proof in the case, l think the salary of
the president from December, 1874, should
be fixed at $500; independent, $1,000; su-
perintendeut, $4,000. Salary Of secretary and
attorney not excessive. According to dis
tribution of labor made between these Off
Gers, the rate as Fixed by themselves seems to
be proper. This case does not present the
features OF an ordinary case of directors fix
ing the salaries OF the officers of a corpora
ton, and which would ordinarily be allowed
to stand, unless it was excessive as to
shock the conscience of court. 1t is the
case of the directors of a corporation divid-
ing among themselves all the offices OF cor
poration and fixing the salaries for a certain
period of time largely in excess of what they
had heretofore been paid, and when their at
tention was called to the fact by one of the
stockholders, reducing them to a legitimate
amount for the services performed. Each of
these three officers must refund to the corpor-
alton, and interest counted at the end of each
year. When this is ascertained the amount
will be paid into the treasury of the COM

clearly shows that the properties of the cor
poration have been largely increased in
value, and that the stock of the sharehold.
ers-those now holding the shares-has not
been diminished, hence the value of the
shares must be greatly increased. Every
shareholder has been bent flied by the policy
of reduction. No creditor complains, and
the public, if affected at all, has a largely
increased facility and safety in his mode Of
