Ki'patrick had a memo asking him to call a meeting for a given date, but that the notice was so short that he replied advif ng that there was not sufficient time to make the date well known and that a later date should be caosenThe shareholders are "inclined to think they are entitled to more c6nsideratiori and that the powers controlling these matters could surely get notices posted in conspicuous places at the main" factory and the creamery, at least a week before the date of the proposed meeting, or better still, advertise in the News.—l am, etc., TAHI HERENI.
