In moving the by-law for the in- flame of the capital stock of the bankI the Viceâ€"President remarked that it had been the policy of the directors since the organization of the bank to keep the capital stock nta comparaâ€" tively small figure, but that the gen- eral expansion of trade and business In the country having forced the bank to extend its operations to Manitoba and Montreal it was found that owing to the limit of circulation the bank had been worked at adisadvamage. and the directors felt that if they were to keep pace with the increasing and en- larging business of the country the capital of the bank must be increased, He stated that the shareholders were swam that the dividends paid by the Dominion Bank for many years had been at 11 high rate; lhe bank had been able to pay these dividends in conse- quence of its small capital. \V’ith an increase of capital it was felt that the true policy would be to pay a regular dividend of 10 per cent, and from time to time, as earnings warranted, to pay a bonus to the shareholders. The \‘iveâ€" President stated that he had no appre- hensions as to the future, that he had no reason to believe that the earnings of the bank would decrease, but that Dt is with great regret your direcâ€" tors have to announce the death dur- ing the past year of their colleague.
