The Annual Meeting of the Shareholders and BondhoKlers of the Midland Rail way Company of Canada, for the election of Directors and for other purposp.s. will V)e held at their offices in Port Hope, on Tuesday, May Ititli, 1882, at the hour of one o'clock, p.m., pursuant to by-laws to that oftoct. H. READ, Port Hope, February 24th, 1882. Secretary. The Minutes of the last Annual Meeting, held at Port Hope, on the 19th of April, 1881, were taken as read. The Secretary read the report of the Canadian Directors which was as follows : — h Midland Railway of Canada. REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT AND DIRECTORS OK TUB MIDLAND RAILWAY OF CANADA. i \ To the Proprietors of the Midland Railway of Canada : Pkterborough, 1 6th May, 1882. Your Directors in submitting their report for the year ending 31st December, 188 1, with the customary accounts and Auditor's Certificate attached thereto, have again the pleasure of reporting a most sHtisfactory increase over the earnings of the previous year. The total traffic receipts for the year have amounted to the sum of $404,360.20, or ^83,087, 14s. 3d. ; as against $334.0^4-55. or ^68.647, los. 2d. for 1880; showing' an increase of $70,275.65, or ;^ 14,440, 4s. Id. It will be ob.served by these figures that our most sanguine ex- pectations for the year have been more than realized, notvvith.standing the fact that one of the largest lumber mills on the line was burned at the commencement of the season, and not rebuilt in time to contri- bute rin>-thing to the earnings of the year. EXPEND! rURK. The working expenses for the year have been $223,598.89, 55.30 per cent, on the gro.ss receipts, .showing a slight decrease of less than one per cent., but which may be considered as very satisfactory, looking to the marked increase in the price of all material used by the Company, as well as the increa.sed cost of labour. REVENUE ACCOUNT. The net revenue for the year amounted to $180,761.31 (;^37r Rki'ort 01- Pkksidknt and DikiXTOks. 7 142, 14s. 8cl.) It has been approjoriatcd as per the revenue state- ment, herewith submitted, and exceeding', as it does, the interest obh'j^ations on the t'- nients of the Company, it has fully justified the confidence cx{)ressed in the last annual report : — "That the net carninj^s of the Company "for the future would be quite sufficient to meet all its interest "oblifjjations." These ^M-atifyin' of Toronto, the commercial centre of Ontario. The Grand Junction line and the completion of the link be- tween Peterborough and Omemee. now under construction, aflbrds an additional junction with the Grand Trunk Railway at the Cit>' 3: RkI'ORT ()]' PRKSIDKN'T AMI DiKIXTOKS. 9 of Belleville, giviii!:,^ the best and most direct route between the upper lake ports and the ]5ay of Ouintc, which is at the head of St. Lawrence river navi^^ation, to the Atlantic ports. The Whitby, Vovt \\:ny and Lindsay line extends from the important town of Lindsay on the m.un line, throii• developed minin^r aud lumberinc; districts of the north. 1 he Toionto and Ottawa line, now unc'er constructinn from Madoc i,,i i^oint on tile drand Junction line; eastward. i\-is>is through a rich mining and agricultural district, a distance of 113 miles to the Cit\- of Ottawa, thus giving the consolidated system a direct anti independent line tc> the cajital of the Dominion, where connection is made with the Canatia Pacific ; Quebec, Montreal and Occidental ; and Canada Atlantic Ivaihvays, thereb)- providing a second direct through line from trie west to the cast. It. will thus be seen tliat the consolidation into one company oi these \arious lities forms an im[)ortant .system. It will afford very ample railwa)- facilities to all the principal towns in the Midland district. It gives a shorter and more direct line between the cities of Ottawa and Toronto. _ To connec'ing lines, such as the Great Western and Credit Valley, it offers another through all-rail-route by which the pro- ducts of the west may reach the Atlantic sea-ports. With its magnificent harbor at Midland, on Lake Hurtui, i nd its four harbours on Lake Ontario, it pos.sesscs the shortest and best mixed rail and water route between the Western and North West- ern States and the sea-board. Ij ii ID Midland Railway of Canada. In addition to the forcfj^oing advantajres, the amalgamation under one management of these six lines, heretofore under separate management, must give a more efficient service to the public, and cannot fail to effect an important saving in expenses, besides large- ly increasing the earnings, which may be safely estimated at $250,- 000 over the aggregate earnings of the different sections for the last year. This, taken in connection with the fact that the total net earn- ings of the various com})anies for last year, were sufficient to pay interest on the full amount of Consolidated lionds allotteci to the several companies, cannot but be very satisfactory to the pro- prietors. Under the terms of the amalgamation agreement, there was allotted to the Midland Railway £'705,000 sterling of the new Con- solidated Company's bonds, for the purpose of redeeming the exist- ing bonds, which are as follows, viz.: — First IVlortgagc Bonds ^525,000 Preference Mortgage lionds 150,000 Deferred Interest Certificates 30,000 ;«(,705,ooo It will be remembered that a certain portion of the above bonds have not been sold, but were hypothecated, for the purpose of securing advances obtained by the Company, for the settlement of its floating debt and expenditure on capital account. Under the terms of the agreement each company has to pay all its liabilities excepting the bonded debt and Municipal liens. Your Directors were of the opinion, after very careful consideration, that the sale of the bonds thus hypothecated would be sufficient to pay the amount for which they are pledged, and discharge all other liabilities of the Company, in accordance with the consolidation agreement. Again, the Canadian Directors have great pleasure i.n acknow- Rkpout of President and Directors. T I Icdijing the hearty and zealous support and co-operation of their co-directors in London, and the very valuable assistance rendered by them in carrj-ing out the negotiations in connection with the consolidation, which hr-s been so satisfactorily consummated, and which must necessarily result in such permanent advantages to the Company. « Their best thanks arc also due to the oflPicersand employees of the Compfiny who have been most successful and untiring in their efforts to promote the general prosperity of the line. Respectfully submitted, GEO. A. COX, Ircsidiut. In moving the adoption of the report, the President, MR. GEO. A. Cox, said : Gentlemen, —In moving the adoption of the report that has just been read, it is not my intention to trespass on your time at any length. The figures in the report speak for themselves. They show a larger gross revenue, a larger net revenue and a lower percentage of ex]>ense than any ]irevious year in the history of the Company. All our interest obligations for the year were prom])tly paid at matuiity from net revenue. Froni the sale and hypothecation of surplus and preference bonds, the entire floating debt of the Company was settled, and no less than $224,660.73 expended on the improvements of the jiroperty in addition to the ordinary expendi ture under that liead. The year under review has not only been tiie most successful, but it has been the most eventful in the history of the Com- pany. At a special general meeting of the proprietors held on the 12th of December, an agreement was confirmed, whereby the Midland Railway of Canada, by the absorption of competing and connecting lines, increased its mileage from 142 to 455 miles. After a reference to he recent amal- gamation, Mr. Cox went on to .say : The acquisition of the Toronto and Ottawa charter gives us the necessary legislative [)ower to extend to the City of Ottawa, where we can connect with other lines for the seaboard. 12 Midland Railway of Canada. Some of our newspaper friends have been .trood enough to say that this charter was obtained simply for the purpose of preventing the construction of that Vine, and |»rofess to beUeve tliat the only hope for the country is in the. Ontario and Quebec line, which is proposed to cover the same ground. I do not intend to make any very lavish predictions or promises for the future. 1 prefer to let that speak for itself. I wish to state, however, that scarcely three months have elapsed since the legislation which gave us con- trol of that charter received the royal assent, and already four separate sections are under contract, which will complete our line from Toronto to Perth. Not less than eight hundred men are engaged on the work, and their numbers are being daily augmented, jiushing the work forward to ciimpletion with the least possible delay. We expect to have our trains running between Toronto and Bridgewater, a distance of 158 miles, not later than the ist of November next, and the contract for the coii.itruction of the 62 miles between Bridgewater and Perth, awarded on Wednesday last to Mr. H. J. Beemer, of Montreal, is to be completed by the loth of May, 18.S3. Possibly Kni^lish capitalists may be found, who, in their anxiety to assist and encourage railway compelition in (Canada, will furnish the nece.ssary funds to the Ontario and Quebec Company to build a third line over the same ground, lying, as the Credit ^'alley does, in Western Ontario, between and at a short distance on either side from two existing lines; but the Canadian public, who, for a lime, may benefit by ruinous competition, while willing to encourage this to the extent of writing sen.sa- tional ncws[)aper articles, will be very careful not to invest much of their own money in it. 1, therefore, venture the o))inion, that it will be some lime before we see tiiis line constructed. But I have taken up more time on this subject than 1 intentled. I shall return to what more directly con- cerns our own ])roprietors, and speak of the position and prospects of our own comi)any. By the absori^tion or consolidation of the various lines to which 1 have already referred, the earning capacity of our road has been largely increased, and our securities placed in a much safer and more siitis- factory position. The aggregate earnings, last year, of the different .sections forming the consolidated company, in their disjointed and coni{x?ting attitude, was enough to pay interest on the entire bonded debt of the new company, and we have already had so far this year (and it is the worst part of the year) an increase of $98,603, or more than 41 jjer cent, over the cor- responding period of last year. The through grain trade, which was barely commenced last fall, our elevators and wharves having been scarcely com- l)leted before the winter set in, and which consequently added but very little Rei'Ort ok President and Directors. 13 Ui the revenue of last year, has opened with so much cncouragenKnt this season, that dining the last eighteen days we have handed the Grand Trunk Co., at this station, no less than 315 cars of through grain, besides large vjuantities of lumber and other freight. The large amount of traffir that we are handing that Company at the different stations where we intersect them, explains how the Midland Railway can be both a competing and contributing Company to the Crand 'IVunk, and while maintaining its own independence as a competitor, at the same time retaining, by its large con- tributions, the friendly co-operation of that company. And the circum- stance that will add very largely to the importance and earning cajtacity of the Midland system, is the exceedingly encouraging prospect of the imme- diate construction of the Ontario and Sault Ste. Marie Railway, which will form an itiijjortant connection for this Company. The subsidy that the Ontario Oovcrnment |)roposes to grant for the purpose of aiding a line in making a connection between the Canada Pacific and the Ontario svstem of railways, together with ihe substantial subsidy of $660,000 to be granted by the Dominion (lovernment for the same purpose, taken in connection with the very encouraging remarks of Sir Charles Tupper in the House of Com- mons last night, in which he states that the Government have decided to accept the proj^osal of the Ontario and Sault Ste. Marie Company, affords good ground to h(jpe for the immediate constiuction of this road, which will throw a large amount of traffic over our own line. There is another matter that 1 desire to acknowledge, and that is the \ery magnanimous position taken by the 'I'own'cjt Port Hope in not retarding our legislation, as some other towns did, from feelings of [tetty local jealousies. Tlie legis- lation providing for the location of the head offices of the Company at Peterborough, might \ery naturally have incurred the oi)posilion of Fort Hope, but I was pleased to know that they took too broad a view of what was really in the interest of the Company, and of the town, as its most im- jjortant termiims, to raise any petty objections ; and in justice to those who took that position, I desire to say, that while the impression has to some extent gained ground that the policy of the Cornprmy is injurious to the town of Port Hope, at no time in the history of the Company was there as many men employed, as much business tran.sacted, as much disbursed for wages, as at the present time. In signing a cheque for the Port Hope pay roll yesterday, for $8,062.18, I was curious to know what it was for the corresponding month for the first year that I assumed the management of the Company, and I found it was $4,752.38, or very little over one-half what it was for the month just closed ; so, if Port Hope is not as prosper- H Midland Railway of Canada. 1 t V.I ous as it was, Mr. Ross and his followers must charge it upon the National Policy or some other cause ; and Colonel Williams and his followers must claim that it is because they have not yet had the National Policy long enough J but they must both agree in exonerating the Midland Railway from all blame in the matter. I have much pleasure in moving the adop- tion of the report. Mr. Robt. Jaffrav, of Toronto, in seconding the motion to adopt the report, said, from the exhaustive speech of the President very little was left for him to say. At the last annual meeting he had spoken strongly and hopefully of the future of the Midland, and the prospects now were still better. As yet the Midland Railway was only in its infancy, and when fully developed would be second to none in Canada. All must be pleased with the ha|)py manner in which the amalgamation had been brought about. So many rival interests were to be considered, and so many difficulties of a local nature to be overcome, that to give general satisfaction, was anything but an easy task. The conciliatory jjolicy pursued by Mr. Cox had been very successful, and the towns along the Midland felt every confidence that the trust resposed in him would not be abused. If a railroad is to succeed, it must endeavour to please the public and adapt itself to their wants ; this had been the first feature of Mr. Cox's policy. A very pleasing feature of the present management was the fact that the shareholders in England had left it entirely to Canadians. There had been no fault-finding or criticism, nor was there any likelihood of any. From a Toronto point of view it was a great gain, giving as it did, near connections with eastern towns, and a share of ihe lumber trade. By next annual meeting he exp>_cted to see the business of the road doubled. He referred in complimentary terms to Mr. Hickson, Manager of the Grand Trunk, and Mr. Bell, Solicitor, both of whom were gentlemen of great experience and broad views, and their advice had been of great advantage in making arragements for the towns served by those two lines. He expressed admiration for the ability of the President, and his close attention to business. To him, ])re-eminently, was due the present success of the Midland, and he had reason to be proud of the result. Mr. Dundas, of Lindsay, referred to the valuable services of the employees of the road. The people were well served. In the management there were great promptness in train service, and freedom from accident. The men were loyal to their employers, and had confidence in the man- agement, and instead of striking, when they felt they required an increase Report of President and Directors. 1=; in j.ilary, they look a more prudent course, and their demands were acced- ed to. He wished to make s[)ecial reference to the i)art of Mr. Cox's speech where he spoke of the town of Port Hope not opposing the amalgamation, as some other towns had done. It was hardly to be expected that the in- terior towns would look with complacency on what they supposed would shut them off from the competition they had given so much to obtain. Not knowing fully the character of the President, it was only natural that they should look with suspicion on the proposed combination. He was glad to say that these apprehensions had largely passed away, and now, in- stead of fmding the new arrangements detrimental to local trade, ihey were enabled to enjoy better .service. Lindsay was nearer Toronto, and instead of her trade being divided between three roads, she had jnly ont;, with much better service, cheaper rates, faster time, greater promptitude, and more accommodation. A number of those who had opposed the amalgamation at first would now be sorry to go back to the old system ; in fact, all were delighted. Messrs. Hugel, L. Ross, C. L. Thomson, Manager of the Bank of Montreal, and the Mayor of Port Hope, spoke briefly, endorsing the senti- ments of previous s{)eakers. Tlic old Board of Directors were all re-elected, resolutions were adopted, and the meeting adjourned. The usual i6 MiDF.ANn Raiiavav oi' Canada. TRAFFIC REPORT. ; ■; I 3l Gf:nf.rai. Tkai'I'IC Acjknt'.s Okfkk. rETKRliOkOUtili, March ist, 1SS2. Geo. a. Cox, Esq., President and General Manager, Midland Railway of Canada : Sir, — Herewith I bci; to hand >-()U cla.s.sified .statement of the earninij.s of the Midland Railwav fur the \ear ending- December 31st, iSSi ; .shc\vin;j[ a (^ro.ss traffic of $404,360.20, a.s compared with $334,084.55 for 1880, beinj^an inorca.se of $70,275.65 ; to which has to be added $1,770.00, deducted from traffic on account of ad- justment.s due the Whitby, Port Perry and Lindsay Railway, under the pool, thereby makinjj; the actual increase $7:',c^ 1.5.65. The pool with the Whitby, Port Perry & Lindsay Railwav'was closed on December 31st, 18S1, ■uui during- the two years and a half it was in operation, rates were maintained upon reasonable terms, with- out fluctuation, wl ch resulted in increased earnings, whilst giving greater satisfaction to the manufacturer and shipper, than during the time of com{:)etition, when everyone suspected his neighbor of having a better rate than himself The closing figures of the pool showed the Midland Railwa\- to have i)aid over to the Whitby, Port I^erry & Lindsa)- Railwa\- $3,704.84 in adjustments during the time the pool was in force, but, undoubtedly, both railways benefitted by the arrangement outside of these adjustments. The improvement anticipated in the last annual report, has been more than realized, and that in face of some unusual and unexpect- ed clrawbacks. The train service was maintained throughout the \-ear so as to give more efficient accommodation to the travelling public, which ii: Traffic Manac.ek's Report. 17 resulted in an increase of 17 per cent, in passcnj^a-r earnings, the additional number of passcntjers travelling being 9,557. The harvest of 1881 was fully up to the average, which resulted in large increased shipments of barle\- and wheat, and it is gratify- ing to be able to report that a considerable quantit)- of both these cereals is still held in the country, which will materially assist towards increased earnings for 1882. The manufacture of flour in this district has shown a declining tendency, owing to various causes, amongst which have been asserted the low rates from the Western States to the Canadian Markets, caused by the trunk lines rate war, and also by the customs regulations in regard to grinding in bond. The lumber trade, iu>twithstanding the drawbacks mentior.cii above, fully equalled our expectations, the shipments having amount- ed to one hundred and four millicjn i'eet, as ag.iinst the estimate of one hundred million feet, and as compared with eiiTiiili.in of l<'ri-it{lil.

MIDLAND RAILWAY OF CANADA. Gkneral Mana(;kk's Office, FKTKk}M>kOU(,ll, May i6th, 18.S2 (^pTftn^i^, I'liclosetl with this re}X)rt will be found a new map of the Midlaml kailvvay, and the extensions proposed or under construc- tion, and also includin<4 the Ontario Sault Stc. Marie Railwav. The plain red line indicates the Midland Railway as already constructed and in operation. The line shaded on the top is under contract, and jiartiall)' constructed from Madoc to Perth, and will, I think, be oj)ened f(jr service in May next, when there will be a second through line in Canada bctwren the west and east, it may, however, be in our interest to build an i..aependcnt route to both Ottawa and Cornwall, and a railway between IVrth and Cornwall is ur<^entl\' needed in the local interests of that section of the countr}-, and would be a very profitable investment. The prospects of the Ontario Sault Ste. Marie Railway are extremely favorable, and this line when completed will form a most \aluablc and important connection to the Midland Railway system, GKO. A. COX, General Manager. i
