"The . ohaitman/. haying read the advertisement'convening : the meeting, and the minutes of the last general meeting, held April 29th, having beenpassed, he gave:a'retrosneoV.of;the 'directors' work from the formation of the' Company, and stated that the number of additional shares applied for was considerably less than was anticipated, and to start the Company ou a Boundbaßiß' at:; least 200 or 250 more shares would have ! ;to be.iaken upj Hehadvisited factories, of the same class in iDiinedirif and they wore very successfully carried on. Butter sent Home by the Protos had realised la 4£d per lb in a dull market, and cheese made at the Edendale Factory, had sold in Queensland at 13d per lb, .He could; speak of the suitability of" the buildingjust completed for the purpose, and; if the people of Greytown andjurronnding; district would only'support-it," he could confidently asßert that it would .he in every way n success, and he informed those present that by next June, we may look toward to as a,certainly for.tho arrival of the first steamer of a direct steam service between New Zealand and England. - The following financial statement was then made : £ i a Deposit paid on 482 shares... 120 10 0 For the allotment of 258 Bharea 6410 O First call ou 110 shares ... 27 10 0 Paid up 65 shares ... ... 16 5 0 'Total... ... ... 22815 0 EXPENDITURE, •Building ... ...: ... 100 0 0 Tin for vats, &c ... ... 10 19 0 Stationery, &c. ... ... 40 8 Beard & Gray.... ... ~...1417 4 Advertising, &c. ... ... 11 19 6 Balance in bank ... ... 86 12 6 Total... .'228 15 0 ■Liabilities incurred ... ... 216 '• 0 0 Estimate to complete plant... 102 0 0 318 0 0 Amount unpaid on shares ...253 6 0 Balance in bank ... ... 88 12 6 50 additional shares applied for 50 0 0 '"'•■ " 3891? 6

The Chairman explained that if the nhole nf the shares applied for were paid up the Direct-ua would have £ll to start work with. This would be inadequate to meet demands, as the milk from 300 cows.would amount to £4O a week, and it would be three months before the company could expect returns for their soods, so that £SOO would have to be paid before that could be done; but they could finance on their own stock in the meantime, to carry on the works. In answer to Mr St George,-the Chairman said that, if 200 additional shares were taken up they could tide over the first three months, and that, as the Government intended to encourage these industries, he could almost promise as a certainty that the railway frieght on milk for those factories would be consi-' derably reduced.

Mr Coleman Phillips expressed tho pleasure it pave him to see so many of the Taratahi Company present, and said that the Greytown Company intended to manufacture cheese only nt the start, as the expense for butter-making was too much,'and their knowledge in.that direction was not sufficient to ensure success. He did not think, there wore 300 cows around Grey town, and doubted if they could get that number in tho Taratahi district fit to supply a factory with. They would require'a deal of weeding out, and perhaps in a year or two we might get sufficient to keep these factories going. They imould ba contented if they could get 100 cows to start work with. Ho hoped the Greytown settlers would come forward "and assist to start the fnctory goins?, and instanced the noble efforts of the Taratahi and Carterton people, who had taken up 1300 shares, He thought it would not be asking too much of the Greytown people to subscribe half that number, bo that the Directors could start at once. The Chairman, in answer to Mr Phillips, said that a start could be made in three weeks, as the Manager was ready to take charge, 4nd all that was required to be done was to fix a boiler, and to put a few shelves up in the faotory.

Mr W. R, Haines thought if the scheme was not better supported by those who supplied the milk it would fall through. He could see the amount was inadequate to carry on the works, as the small farmers must have cash for their milk as supplied, In answer to Mr duff, the Chairman said the Directors would recommend a scheme to aire a bonus to producers if the Company made a larger surplus than was estimated.

Mr Philips thought the idea of a bonus would be better met by giving more per gallon for the milk.

In answer to Mr St, George the secretary stated that 200 shares were taken up in Greytown, 160 Kurituwhiti and Matarawa, and in outlying districts. A committee consisting of Messrs Buchanan, Philips, Haigh, Cuff, and St. George, were appointed to canvass the district for additional shares, Mr Philips thought their small farmers set too muoh store. on their calves, he thought they would do better to sell them right off, or as is done in some places, put them out to nurse viz.—let one cow take two or three of them to bring up. The Chairman endorsed the views taken by Mr Philips, and said if small farmers would reckon up tho amount of milk they consume, and the amount obtained for it, they would find the calves were a very dear luxury, A vote of thanks to the Directors for their exertions hitherto on behalf of the company, was proposed by. Mr Haines, and seconded by Mr Cuff, and unanimously agreed to. The Chairman briefly returned thanks on behalf of the directors, and said they would still be happy to further continue their efforts to bring things to a satisfactory issue, A unani' mons vote of thanks was also given to the Hon, Secretary, MrF. H. Wood, for his untiring effort? on behalf of the com. pany. The nsual vote of thanks to ihe Chairman concluded the meeting; 55 additional shares were taken up in the room after the meeting;.'. ; .■■, .< i < i _ There are no poor laws or workhouses in Germany,. and the number of street bejgars is steadily increasing.
