limit OF the work, making the capital
stock $500, 600, and extending the pro-
posed construction of the railroad

ing manifest that seven-eighths Of the
capital stock was not represented
either In person or by proxy, an ad-
journment was had till Z. PM
At that time the meeting reassem-
bled. Secretary E. G. Holden called
the roll Of stockholders, and the hold
ers of about $500 shares responded
'here," as the roll was called.
It was moved by c. w. Fulton and
seconded by j. F. Halloran and G. r.
Thomson that the directors of the AS
toria and South Coast Railway Co.,
be authorized to issue supplementary
articles OF incorporation.
Vice-president F. ]. Taylor put the
question which went to vote.
The total number of shares of stock
subscribed is 3,6191S. 1t took 3,167
shares, or seven-eighths of the entire
number to legally authorize the direc-
tors to do as they proposed,
As name after name was called each
one OF the stockholders voted AYE"
there not being a dissenting voice
among those present or represented
by proxy.
At the close of the vote Secretary
Holden annneunced that 3,29112
shares had voted "aye."
Vice-president Taylor then an
nounced that inasmuch as seven
eighths Of the stockholders had voted
in the affirmative he declared the prop
osition carried, and the directors Of
the company 80 authorized.
After q few remarks intended to
disabuse the minds of any present as
to any possible misunderstanding re-
garding the aim or ultimate result of
the scheme, he closed amid general
applause, and the meeting adjourned.
