 during the last iiiuiucial crisis have diminished its assets; 
 that at a <r,.,ieral meeting of its shareholders it was a.know- 
 l-'dged that in order to carry on its business with advantage 
 It was necessary that its .aoital stock should he reduced to 
 live hundred thousand dollars, by reducing the number of 
 the shares ol' such stock, and a resolution of the shareholders 
 to that eHect was passed ; that ne\ ertheless, it is desirable 
 that the said bank should hereafter issue new shares to the 
 amount ol five hundred thousand dollars, in order to bring 
 Its capital stock up again to its original amount of one 
 milJion dollars ; and moreover, that it is the wish ol the 
 said stockholders, expivssed in the same manner, that the 
 u^ \!^\}^^ holding of the annual gen.'ral meeting of the

 shares ot one hundred dollars each, so that the presb . lum- 
 ber of sharers shall be reduced by one-half : Provided al /vays, Proviso 
 
 p!u u '',^'^""y ^^ ^^^ shareholders to the present creditors 
 ot the bank shall not be in any way diminished by the said 
 reduction. 
 
 «. The present shares shai) be converted, on the said first New shares 
 <lay ot July, into new shares, which shall then be issued to '» be igsued, 
 the shareholders in the proportion of one new share for °°' °' 
 
 every two shares held l)y them. 
 
 ». Every shareholder who shall then hold an odd number Sharehoiderg 
 ol shares may agree M^ith any other shareholder in the same ™»y ""ite

 ing, in their joint names, their proportion of shares of the 
 new issue. 
 
 4. And whereas a certain number of shares of the said bank Recital 
 belonging to shareholders since become insolvent, which the

 And whereas in the lourse of the debate upon the Cana- 
 dian Piicihc Railway Act certain questions arose which the 
 contractors present at Ottawa deemed it expedient to meet, 
 by agreeing that this Company would enter into certain 
 undertakings with the Government of Canada so soon as it 
 should be organized, and it is expedient to provide for enter- 
 ing into such arrangements : Therefore, it is unanimously 
 resolved that this Company is prepared to enter into an 
 agreement with the Dominion Government to the effect fol- 
 lowing, that is to say : if any Company other than the Canada 
 Central Railway Company builds a line from any point on 
 the Canadian Pacific Railway at or about the Wharnapit river 
 to any point on Lake Huron or Lake Superior, or on the river 
 Ste. Marie, such Company shall have running powers or r 
 the Canadian Pacific Railway from the point of junction to 
 Callander Station, on condition that such Company shall 
 grant to the Canadian Pacific Railway Company similar and 
 reciprocal rur ing powers over its railway west of such 
 point of junction. In the event of the Company pur- 
 chasing, acquiring, amalgamating with, leasing or holding 
 and operating the Canada Central Railway, the said 
 Callander Station shall continue to be a neutral or receiv- 
 ing and distributing point common to the Canada Cen- 
 tral Railway and any railway in the Province of On- 
 tario, running southward from said Callander Station ; and 
 in that case all traffic to or from any point in the West or 
 North-West coming from or destined for any such Ontario 
 railway shall be carried to or from Callander Station at the 
 same mileage rate as similar traffic to or from such point 
 coming from or destined for the said Canada Central Railway ; 
 and such mileage rate shall not be greater than the average 
 rate per mile charged for similar tiaffic from the point of
