MATAURA SALEYARDS ANNUAL MEETING. (From Our Correspondent.) The annual meeting of the Mataura Public Saleyards Company, Limited, was held on Saturday in the Coronation Hall and attended by Messrs W. L. Scott (chairman), H. B. Heaps, W. Weatherburn, D. Dickie, W. Y. Dickie, G. Irwin, J. Wilson and A. J. Grant (secretary). An apology was received from Mr T. F. Quilter. The annual report and balance-sheet (already published) was taken as read and in moving their adoption the chairman said they were very satisfactory and the company had experienced a very successful year. If the same support was forthcoming in the present year they should finish up with a good balance. The motion was seconded by Mr W. Y. Dickie and carried. Mr G. Irwin said the year had been most satisfactory. With the big sales it was just a question whether extra sales should be held. The retiring directors, Messrs G. Irwin and D. Dickie, were re-elected.’ Mr W. D. Shelton was re-elected auditor. An offer was received from Mr C. P. Sleeman, sent., to sell the company an acre of land adjoining the saleyards section, but no action was taken in the matter. Accounts amounting to £1 9/- were passed for payment. The secretary was instructed to write to the Gore Stock Agents’ Association requesting that the monthly sales be advertised on the Saturday prior to sale day. At a subsequent meeting of the directors Mr G. Irwin was elected chairman. The chairman, secretary and Mr T. F. Quilter were appointed signing members. It was resolved that if pens were ordered prior to a sale that the yardman reserve the same.
It was decided that notice be posted at the yards to the effect that no cattle be removed from the pens without the authority of the yardman before the said cattle have been offered for sale. A vote of thanks was accorded to the retiring chairman and directors.
