A contracVat once to be entered into with Messrs Fraser, & Tinhe. Auck land, for a First-class Iron Boat, replete with every modern improvement and accomodation, to be ready by December next, and estimated to cost £11,000. The nominal capital of the Company is estimated at £12,600, £1,500 being allowed to meet contingencies. , The guarantee, as regards the new Boat, to be as follows :—Ppeed to he 12 knots per hour; andlfer every knot leas than 12 knots per hour, her builders to forfeit at the rate of. £1,000 per knot Should the speed of theßoatxceed 12 knots, the builders td receive a bonus of £1,000 for every knot over 12 knots per hour': such bonus to be taken.up in shares^in tht new Company.1 x , ' ■ 1 : . .' It will thus be observed that the Projectors mean to provide the accommodation required so much by the public, at the same time to have j> Company which will give to Shareholders a handsome return for -the' capital invested- ' : , \. "■',' \^ "„." '"J / The number of European inhabitants in the Hauraki district being over 15,000, with the large settled; populations; at Coromandel and Thames, >nd the growing districts of Tairua.'Ohinemurl" and Piafeo, and i the {immediate prospect; of .'a -large' addition, ( through the development, of gold mining and agricul-j turalinterests (as well as*the large native;population,: who form a considerable, item in passenger traffic), I provide a'-field for the enterprise of the proiecteid Steam Company second to none in New Zealand.
