Dunedin, November 29, At a meeting of the shareholders of the Titanic Steel Co last night, the chairman (Mr Speeding) said the shareholders first taking up shares were led to believe they would only have to pay £3 per share, but now they found that the action of Mr Smith, who founded company, repudiated the shareholders, and they were called upon to pay £lO. Owing to the large number of shares taken by some, they were unable to do this. The directors now stated that Mr Smith had no authority to act in the way he had done, and could not uphold his action. The deposit, when applied for, released the shareholders, who had received summons to pay £lO per share, and had to appear in Wellington on certain days, between December 11th and 18th. A motion was carried that, unless compelled to do so, the shareholders pay no more calls, seeing action taken, and resolved to telegraph to Mr Stout at Wellington, apprise him of the action taken, and request him, while in Wellington, to watch the interest of the shareholders. «, THIS DAY'S TEL PGP AMS.
