Nelson, October 8, 1855. nVTELSON COAST STEAM NAVII\ GATION COMPANY. At a meeting held in tho Literary Institution, Nelson, on Wednesday, the 19th of September, 1855, W. R. Nicholson", Esq., in the chair* — It was proposed by Mr. Fearon, seconded by Mr. Cubtis, and carried unanimously — " That a Company be formed to establish Steam Communication between Nelson, Motueka, Massacre Bay, and other parts of the province, to be called the Nelson Coast Steam Navigation Company." Proposed by Mr. Wilkie, seconded by Mr. Feabon, and carried unanimously — "That the capital of the Company bo £2,000, in 400 shares of £5 each, and that two-thirds of each share bo paid up on the Deed of the Company being signed." Proposed by Mr. Wintebbubn, seconded by Mr. Jennings, and carried unanimously — " That power be given, to the Directors of tho Company to make application to the Trustees of tho Nehon Trust Fund for a loan of £2,000, and to give bond on behalf of the shareholders for the amount." Proposed by Mr. Cubtis, seconded by Mr. Wilkib, and carried unanimously — "That a Provisional Committee be appointed to manage the affairs of tho Company until the appointment of Directors, and that the same consist of Messrs. Nicholson, Ridings, Fearon, Campbell, Parker, and Curtis." / / (Signed) W. R. Nicholson, \j Chairman. The company was originally intended to consist of twenty shareholders in shares of £75 each, five of the shares to be reserved for the residents of Motueka. Fifteen of tho shares were subscribed for in Nelson, also two out of tho five reserved for Motueka, but simultaneously with the agitation raised in Nelson for a Steamer, there was a similar manifestation in Motueka, and a desire evinced in that place for a more extended proprietary by means of £1 or £5 shares. The proceedings of tho proposed Nelson Company were therefore delayed to endeavour to effect an amalgamation of the two interests, and with this view correspondence and interviews took place, between the projectors of the different schemes, which resulted in the arrangement carried out in the meeting above advertised. The original subscribers to the £75 shares will therefore please to intimate as soon as possible to the Provisional Committee how many of tho £5 shares they will now take ; and the capital of the Company being enlarged, there will bo some £5 shares open to tho public, applications for which will bo received until the 21st of October next by any member of the Provisional Committee. From late information received from Melbourne, there is every reason to believe that a Steamer of the description desired may be procured advantageously at tho present time, and the Committee are now engaged m making arrangements to secure one, by forwarding instructions to their agent in that place by the next post.
