And whereas the Company has constructed the first por- tion of iis railway from Eegina to Long Lake, a distance t of twenty-three miles or thereabouts, and proposes to ex- tend its system from near Long Lake aforesaid to a point at or near where the fifty-second degree of latitude 1043 ! (9 4 crosses the Riyer Saskatchewan, about one hundred and thirty miles, thence to the elbow of the North Saskatche- wan, about twenty-five miles, with branches to Prince Albert about eighty-five miles, and to Battleford about eighty-five miles, of which the extension to the Elbow of the North Saskatchewan, and the branch to Battleford are not intended to be proceeded with at present. And whereas, an agreement has been made between Her Majesty the Queen, in the name of the Government of the Dominion of Canada of the one part, and the Company, of the other part, whereby, in consideration of the agree- ment on the part of the Company to complete its Railway to a point on the South Saskatchewan River, at or near Saskatoon, by the first day of November, one thous- and eight hundred and ninety, and thence to Prince Albert within two years of the completion of the railway to the South Saskatchewan as aforesaid, and to carry for the period of twenty years, the Government traffic there- in described, the Goverfiment agreed to pay each year to the Company the sum of $80,000 or its equivalent in sterling if paid in England, for the period of twenty years, the sum of fifty thousand dollars to be paid annually from the construction of the railway to a point at or near Saska- toon, and the remaining thirty thousand dollars to be paid annually on the extension of the railway to Prince Albert, all such payments being paid half-yearly. And whereas, it was by the said agreement further pro- vided that the Company might assign such half-yearly payments composing the twenty yearly payments of eighty thousand dollars each, to any Trustee or Trustees who might be appointed to hold the same by way of security for any bond or other securities which might be issued by the Company in respect of their railway, and that after due notice to the Government, of such assignment, the said half-yearly payments should be made to the Trus- tee or Trustees, for the benefit of such holders. 5 And whereas, the interest of the Company in the said agreement and in such semi-annual payments has been assigned to the nominees of the Trustees to secure, as far as the same will extend, the interest on the bonds secured by this mortgage. And whereas, an agreement bearing date Yth August, 1889, has been entered into between the Company of the one part, and the Canadian Pacific Railway Company of the other part, whereby the Company undertakes to construct and complete its railway to the satisfaction of the Grovern- ment and the Canadian Pacific Railway to a point on the South Saskatchewan River near Saskatoon, and thence to Prince Albert, in such time and manner as to entitle it to the Grovernment subsidy of eighty thousand dollars per annum hereinbefore mentioned, and the Canadian Pacific Railway Company has agreed to lease the said Railway for a term expiring on the first day of February, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-six, working and maintaining the said Railway and fulfilling the transport duties to be undertaken by the Company under the agreement with the Grovernment in that behalf, through- out the said term, in consideration of the receipts to be derived from the said Railway other than the Grovernment subsidy, and upon divers other terms and conditions as will appear by the said agreement. And whereas, by the last recited agreement it was also provided that the Canadian Pacific Railway Company should have an option up to the first day of February, A.D. 1896, to redeem all the bonds of the Company at ten per cent, premium on their face value, the Company agreeing that such bonds shall not exceed in amount fifteen thousand dollars per mile of its line as aforesaid, and on such redemption to acquire the capital stock of the Company. 6 And whereas it is by the said Act incorporating the Company, provided as follows : — The Directors of the Company, uoder the authority of the shareholders to them given, are hereby authorized to issue bonds under the seal of the Company, signed by its President or other presiding officer, and countersigned by its Secretary ; and such bonds shall be made payable at such times and in such manner, and at such place or places in Canada or elsewhere, and bearing such rate of interest as the Directors shall think proper ; and the Di- rectors shall have power to issue, and sell or pledge all or any of the said bonds at the best price and upon the best terms and conditions which at the time they may be able to obtain, for the purpose of raising money for prosecuting the said undertaking ; and the said bonds hereby authorized to be issued shall, without registra- tion or formal conveyance, be the first preferential claim and charge upon the Company, and the undertaking, tolls and income and real and personal property thereof, now or at any time hereafter acquired, save and except as is hereinafter provided for ; and each holder of the said bonds shall be deemed to be a mortgagee or incum- brancer upon the said securities pro rata with the other bondholders, and shall have priority as such : Provided, that the amount of such bonds so issued, sold or pledged shall not exceed twenty thousand dollars per mile of the said railway, to be issued in proportion to the length of railway, constructed or under contract to be constructed : Provided also that no such bonds shall be issued until at least two hundred thousand dollars of the capital stock shall have been subscribed and ten per centum of the same bona fide paid thereon ; but notwithstanding any thing in this Act contained the Company may secure the bonds to be issued by them, by a mortgage deed creat- ing such mortgages, charges and incumbrances upon the 7 whole of such property, assets, rents and revenues of the Company, present or future, or both, as shall be described in the said deed, but such rents and revenues shall be subject in the first instance to the payment of the work- ing expenses of the railway ; and by the said deed the Company may grant to the holders of such bonds or to the trustee or trustees named in such deed, all and every the powers and remedies granted by this Act, in respect of the said bonds, and all other powers and remedies not inconsistent with this Act, or may restrict the bondhold- ers in the exercise of any power, privilege or remedy granted by this Act, as the case may be ; and all such powers, rights and remedies as shall be so contained in such mortgage deed, shall be valid and binding and avail- able to the bondholders in manner and form as therein provided.
