SUBMARINE BOAT.
To the Editor. Siu, —As a shareholder in the Submarine Gold Mining Company, and one who has taken a great interest in the enterprise, Iwa* under the impression that the first boat would have been in active operation some time ago. Whether the delay has been the fault of tin directors or the inventor and projector of the enterprise 1 cannot say, but, without doubt, some party or parties have been guilty either
of negligence or deception, and I only repeat the opinion of others when i express my disapprobation at the loose manner in which the interests of the c ompany have been conducted. 1 learnt from rumor that the boat has been near completion for sometime ; but, like Judgment Day,it;e ms as far off as ever. ‘A ho are the contractors for the construction of the boat ? and what is the cause of delay ? If the principle is sound (of which there appears to be no doubt), it is the interest of the shareholders to make the investment reproductive as early as possible, instead of allowing the boat to corrode away. If the manager would only condescend to enclose progress reports with his request for calls, he would confer a favor on more than Okk Shareholder. Dunedin, July 24.
