The eighteenth ordinary general meeting of Crystal Palace Company proprietors at London Tavern discussed finances and Dulwich Wood arrangements. Debate occurred over Sunday admission policy with Colonel Young seeking paid entry for all on Sundays, amid support for keeping some free access.
Mr Sabarin ridiculed the resolution and proposed opening the Crystal Palace as a place of worship for teachers of all sects and denominations including Jewish and Mahomedan lecturers. Captain Taylor opposed. Mr Woodhouse supported. Langley’s amendment passed with two dissentients as the meeting adjournment was defeated and thanks given to the chairman and directors.
At a half yearly meeting held at the London Tavern Mr J Rogerson chaired. The old board described 1860 upheavals and early failures with five vessels wrecked before reforms and profit from Indus and Ganges trade. The board resigned under bank pressure. W S Hare and J C Bolton elected. Dunn the Calcutta agent resigned voluntarily. Directors voted to reduce to five and set periodic retirements. Earnings on Indus for six months were 27500 pounds with 11000 pounds disbursements.
The twenty eighth annual general meeting of proprietors was held on Wednesday at the New Broad Street offices. Mr Divett chaired and read the report and accounts which were adopted.
