\Vith great regret we have to record the sudden death in May last of Mr.
Theodore G. Brough, the late General !Manager, .who had been in the service of
the Bank continuously since 1875. Ile was the Chief Executive Officer for seven
years, during which short time he accomplished much for the development and
welfare of the Institution.
Mr. C. A. Bogert, Manager of the Mon'real Brunch for eight years, and
who entered the Bank more than twenty -live years ago, was appointed to suc-
ceed him.
On account of the continged expansion of the business of the Bank. your
Directors have decided that it is an opportune lime to issue the remaining one
million dollars of authorized Capital Stock; and, having in view future tequire-
inenls which may reasonably be expected, have approtel of a by-law to be
submitted for your consideration al the Annual Meeting, which provides for a
further increase in the Capital Stock to the (sleet of one million dollars. This
will 'poke the totalauthorized Capital lige mill on dollars.
You will also be asked to cons'der n by-law increasing the number of Three -
fors from seven to nine which it is thoug'tt to he advisable owing to the diversity
, of our interests throughout Canada, and the gradual extension of our operations.
During the twelve months just closed Branches of the Bank were established
at the following points, and. when expedient, desirable sites were purchased and
suitable offices erected: --In the Province of Ontario, at Chatham. Dresden, Peter-
borough, Tilbury, \Vindsor, and In Toronto, at the corners of Avenue ilond and
Davenp.ii't Road and Queen street and flioadvicty avenue; In the Province of
AiLerta, at Calgary and Edmonton, and at Regina. Sask.
In addition we have to inform you that in December last the private bank-
ing business of Messrs. John Curry & Company, at.Windsor, was acquired un-
(1er terms advantageous to the Shareholders, which transaction included the pure.
chase of a comrnodious building, well situated in this important centre.
11 was found necessary to provide larger premises for our North End Branch,
Winnipeg, and for this purpose a vnlunl.le property has been secured.
The Directors, following their usual custom, exarn'ned the Securities and
Cash Reserves of the Brink as on December 31st., 1006, and found Ihenr to bo
correct; they also verified the (lead Office Balance Sheet, including all accounts
kept with Foreign Agents.'
Every 011ice of the Bank has been carefully inspected during the past
twelve months. and each Brunch has leen visited by the General Manager
since his appointment in May last.
The Report was adopted. E. 13. OSLEI1.
President.
By-laws were passed increasing the rimier of Directors from seven to nine.
and providing for nn increase of 81.000,000 in the copilot Stock, which will
make the tile! authorized Capital of the Bank 85.0'0.000.
The thanks of the Shareholders were tendered to the President. \'ice-Pre•si-
de•.t and Directors for their services during the year, and to the General Man-
ager and other Officers of the Bank for the efficient performance of their re-
spective duties.'
The following gentlemen were elected Directors for the ensuing year
