FoNTHiLL, July 16th^ 1878. _ The following resolutions', niwl husiness, are extracts from the proceed- ings of tho Executive Comiiiittee at their last meeting, comnjencing Juno 26th. ^ Menibers all jn'esent. The Secretary laid before the meeting the propriety of erecting a tent on the Provincial Exhibition Grounds, Toronto, to be used for theconveni. ence of members visiting the exhibition. ♦ "Resolve,!, that Brother A. J.Hughes, be a special committee fwith power to ask tho assistance of any other member he may wish) to secure a Tent, and place it upon the Provincial Exhibition Grounds, Toronto, for the use of members of the Grange, also to confer with some one in reganl to supplying refreshments in r.onnection with the encampment, also to en- !.'ngeh..te] accommodation in the city. And the Secretary is instructed to JH'dfy nil Granges bv circular to iM above effect and invite all those r.ttend- iiig the Exhibition, to visit the encampment. We have taken this action, thinking it woul.I meetthe hea?ty ap]noval of our members fiirnfsh a means of social entertainmont while attending the exhibition, and an opportunity of forming the nc<,uaintanco of nmn? wlion^ we might .>ot otherwise meet. Also by arranging for refreshments and liot.-l arcomnindntion secure suitable fare at reasonable rates to tliose of our members in attendance. Further notice will be given when arrange- ments are comiileted. "" X> omlajilozi. C*i:»e^xx»o Tr u.s-fc. Amendments and Additions to " J'rospeotus." Additional clauHo, '•'Resolved, that the Stock BockH hu kept open fov the vecoption of subscriptionB of memhers oftho Grange exchidvely, until the 1st day of October next, and that $2,000, (two thousand dollars) be tho luaximuni amount of subicrijitions received from any one ])erR()n, until tho expiration of said torin. If the full amount of stock be not then taken up subscrijjtions may be taken from any one member to the amount of $10,- 000, (ton thousand dollars), that the Secretary bo instructed to fyrward a copy of this resolution, forthwith, to all Subordinate Granges, with such re- marks and explanations as ho may deem necessary." Resol/oed, " That the four last words iii clause, relating to caife, ('after tho first year) be struck out of Prospectus." The above alterations and amendments were deemed necessary in tho jnierest of the company. While urging our members to be active in taking up stock, that wo may be able to open business as soon as possible, yet we desire to give all a chance to avail themselves of the opportunity, and hence have fixed tho amount to be taken by any one member at $2,000, C40 shares) and will ex- tent' the time for thifi to October Ist, after that tinke if tho stock is not rais- ed, we propose to allow a larger sum of $10,,000 taken if desired, in order to raise the required stock. We have also, as will bo seen, made alteration in clause relating to calls by which only ten per cent, will be called in any one year, the first year being restricted to one call, the same as provided f-^r other years. I may also say for the general information of members, that tho first call o» their subscribed stock will not be made until su^cient stock is sub- scribed to commence business, which will not likely be until Fall, after crops are harvested and sold, thus giving those who subscribe a chance to pay in their ten per cent, without inconvenience to themselves. Considerable stock has already been subscribed, and very encouraging accounts are given of the probable taking up of all the capital in a short time. I would therefore recommend all contemplating taking stock ( and we would gladly have every member become interested in it b'y subscribing for one or more shares ) to do so at once, rather than to defer ft for re- gret afterwards, as stock in the company will undoubtedly be good property; a safe way of investing money that will return a profitable dividend. As there are yet some Divisions which have not any persons taking stock in them, I will ask them to recommend some one or more members for this duty immediately, and their appointment will be made, so that no one will be deprived of the opportunity of subscribing for stock, and tak- ing part in the benefits of this enterprise. iE.j£«}ii3,«iiili»»ii tt> MMmlk.^m' Mmwmwi.m^i » ♦ » As many of our members are desirourt of visiting Manitoulin Island and the Ni)rth-weat Territories, wo have arranged for a cheap excursion by- boat to these places. Boats v/ill leave Collingwood on the 27th, and also the 30th, of August. ( Those who cannot go on the 27th will have an op- portunity on the 30th.) We hope to make this a very pleasant trip. The ecenory on the route is said to be beautiful beyond description, and as there are many wishing to see for themselves that part of our country so much talked of, tliis will afford them an opportunity to do so at a small expense compared with the usual rates. The following table has been prepared showing the ratos of faro from different points and return. Passengers can either carry their own jiru vis- ions or board on the boat at $1 per day. Arrangements will hv. made at different stopping placea, such as Manitoulin Islands, Sault St. Marie, St. Joseph's Island, &c., for .iccoramodation at reasonable rates to those wish- ing to stop over at these places until the return of the boat.
