ed the setup of the company and the
events leading up to its fogmation.
Reeve Scott presided.
The company is capitalized at $35,-
.000 and preferred •s.ha.res. are being
offered at $10 •earth, and for each 10
shares of preferred purchased, one
stare of cers.mon is given. The.stock
is being offered the people of Huron
in order that Huron willeretain con-
trol ,of the compan.y. Th'e stock is
being distributed, equally among each
of the :twenty -Mut municipalities in
the 'county to assure an e,quitable re-
presentation in the company.
W. L. Whyte, of. Hullett, told the
,meeting of events leading up to. the
'farmatitin of the company. - He re-
viewed the steps taken by the Gov-
ernment ,and county-atrport commit-
tee which culminated in the leasing
of Sky Harbor to the Government for
a year. Since the pert will op-
erate a unit in the Empire Training
Scheme, it was necessary that being
an elementary school it be managed
by a private company, the speaker
said. ,
The question of voting p•ower ef
the stock was raised by E. C. Bos-
well, and Mr. Whyte explained that
both preferred .ead common shares
had one vote for each share.
The- training will be in the hands
of the. Kitchener -Waterloo Flying,
Club, Mr. Whyte said, since there was
no chartered flying club in Huron.
W,hen, this information was received
a group o1 men in God,erioh believe
that Harare annald retaineeetitrol and
thus was beatin• the movena,ent to dis-
t•Oute the stock as widely as pos-
sible in Huron.
Treasurer J. M. Eckert of McKillop
asked !how salaries,Were arrived at and
ep,e.aker explained(' all salaries were
set by the government contract. This
contract, the said, ptovides the sole
reventre of the company. The Gov-
ernment pays $16,000 per four weeks
dueling which 48 studentpilots will
be trained. Certain oth.ei 'payments
covering us,e of machines, food, over-
head, etc., will also be made.
The Securities Commission had
