At a meeting of shareholders in the Greymouth Coal Company, the committee report suggested that one of their number should go to frreymouth to inspect the mine and investigate affairs. It appears that if the coal could be sold at Dunedin for forty shillings, there would be a large sale. The report did not approve of purchasing colliers. It expressed the opinion that the outlay in opening the mine was greater than necessary, and that scarcely a single promise made by the directors had been fulfilled. A proposal that Dr. Morin should act for the Dunedin shareholders was made, but the meeting separated without adopting any resolution.
