From this point it runs Bouthword through the oentro of tho great valloy of tho Uppor Thauirjs, by t. vory easy roato, for a distnuce of thirty-flvo milos; it thou mounts to tho woodod plateau which dlvidos tho Upnor Thames ana Tauranga dißtricta; from this It dosconds, by an oasy route to lea terminus at tho Town of Ohinemutu, making a f urthor dlßtanoo of thirty-nine milos, This com pletes nn unbrokon chain of railway communi cation between tho City of Auokland and tho Hot Lako Dlßtrlot, which is tho central point of attraotion for tourists to Now Zealand, Tho cost, of tho lino has boon estimated-after exploration—by Jamos Stawnrt, Esq., Into Dis trict Knginoor, to bo £2,000 por mllofor tho first section of 35 miloa; of the romal-dor, 21 miles will cost £3iooo por milo, and tho romatning 15 milos, about £15110 por milo; making a total cost for construction (of tho class of tho Government rnilwaysi and cxeluslvo of rolling stock) of £_5,500 i Tho oost of buildings and rolling atock Is estimated nt £38,000, making a total oost of It is proposod to construct tho Railway In two soctlons; tho first sootlon of 38 mlloa under the provlalona of " Tho Dlatriot Rnilwaya ao>, 1877, by whloh, on opproval by tho Govornmont, tho Colonial rovonuo 1b scourlty for interost on tho oost of construction and oqulpraent not ox ocodlng 2 por cent., nnd tho neighbouring lands (rated In proportion to tho benefits dcrlvablo from tho construction of tho line) aro llublo for interost not oxceodlng a furthor 5 por cont, thus giving n cortaln intorest of 7 por cent on tho lnVCßtmont, ovon If tho lino itself only pays working oxponsea. Tho majority of tho land holders abutting on thia sootion havo expressed tholr willingness that their properties shall bo brought under tho oporation of " Tho Dlßtrlot Railways Act, and tho Amondmont Act, 1578.' For tho construction of tho second Boction. passing, as It docs, mainly through natlvo lands, whloh it is not possiblo to bring under "The Dlstriot Railways Acta," It 13 proposed to work. If possible, under "Tho Railways Construction and Land Act, 1881.'' By thia Act tho Colonial GovornmSnt la crupowored to contract with a Comnany for tho construction of this Railway among othora, and to grant such lands ao aro avallab'.o aa nn endowment. .In thia oaßo only 28,000 acres aro available, eituatod in tho Patotero country. Thia would not bo a aufllciont endow ment, without rating powers, to warrant tho conntruotion of this seotlo'a of tho Uno, but tho natlvo proprietors havo, lv addition, ngrood to glvo a considerable area of land to tho Com pany. It Is also proposod that tho Company Bhould acqulro, by purchase, n furthor portion of natlvo lands adjacent to tho lino, which may bo oxpootod to bo largoly inoroaßod in valuo by ita conatructlon; and, with this viow, tho capi tal of tho Company haa been tlxcd nt a snm sufllciont to lncludo such purchasoa. By this moana, It la hopod tho conßtructlon of tho aocond section may bo undertaken almost simultane ously with tho first. Tho prospoota of Immodlato and vory oon sldorablo trolllo on tho lino aro na good, or hotter, than oan bo shown on any now lino In Now Zoaland. Tho rapid atrldoa mado during tho Inst fow years in tho Uppor Thamoa and Waikato dlßtriots, show that the country has a power of production and of supporting a largo population in proportion to Its oroa—equal to almost any othor part of tho colony. The pro jected railway lino will opon np an aroa of from 1,500,000 to 2,000.000 of acrca of availablo land, a largo portion roady for immodlato occu pation, but at preaont wholly unoccupied, owing partly to tho want of means of communication, and partly to tho faot that a portion of this ter ritory haa but rccontly boon acquired from tho natlvo owners. Tho settlement of thia cxto'nalvo aroa must necessarily, for some yoars to come, oroato a vory largo Import tralltc, and year by year, aa eottlomont progrcsseß, tho export trafllo of grain, Btock, and other produce must also in crease to very lotko dimensions. But, inde pendently of tho ordinary sources of supply towards a railway tralllo which agricultural and pastoral settlomout o( tho country alforda, thoro are special reasons which justify tho expectation of an unusually rapid development of a varied. extensive, and paying business on thia Uno. It Is now goncrally known that tho purchasers of tho landa known aa tho Patetere Dlatriot are taking aotlvo atopa towards the immodlato colo nization, by comparatively email holders, of the wholo of tho lands thoy have acquired, or are acquiring, through the agoncy of a powerful com pany in England. Tho importations consequent on tho Introduction of a largo population cannot fall to bo vory considerable during the llrot years of their BOttloment. Again, tho lino in its course to Ohinemutu, taps a valuable forest of magnifi cent Itimbor, from which—aa soon as tho lino Is complotod so far —tho wholo of tho Uppor Thames and Waikato districts will undoubtedly draw their supplies of timber for houao build ing, fencing, and fuel; and lost, but certainly not least, tho largo and over Increasing stream Of tourist- visiting Now Zealand from all par ol the world, attractod by tho wondera of Ohlnomntu and Rotomahana, will certainly prefer to use thia lino of railway, which will convoy them easily in ono short day from tho olty of Auokland to tho.Hot SprlDga, by an oaßy and most interesting routo, thus giving to tho lino tho exceptional advantago of a largo passenger traffic at onco, quite irrespective of tho ordinary paaaengor tralllo of the country. It may also bo pointed ont that tors a dlatanco of fully forty miles tho proposod lino must, at a future and not vory dlßtant date, form part of tho main lino connootlng Auokland with Napior and Wellington, through tho intorlor of tho island. Rogardlng tho trafllo whioh may bo oxpoctod' a comparison may be mado with tho existing lines in Auokland. Seeing that on theso lines thero aro many miles of unproductive country, and that tho valleys of tho Plaka, Waltoa and Thames aro largoly settled and stocked (and by tho tlmo tho lino is open may bo cxpootcd to bo fully no), looking also to tho schema for tho eot tlomont of tho Patotoro country, tho Proviaioual Directors think tho compariaon a fair ono. Tho latest roturns of tho Kaipara-To A wamutu rail way show a not rovenuo of £193 per milo por annum. This would glvo on tho ffrat section of thirty-oight mlloa, a not rovonuo of £7,331, or 7i por cont. on £100,000. Eatlmatlng tho rovonuo for tho flvo yoars' working ot only one-half that of tho Kaipara-Waikato lino, 33 per cont. will bo obtained, leaving only 3. per cent, to bo mado up by tho District Rate and Oovernmont con tribution, or a littlo over ,2J per cont. and undor 1 por cont respectively. For theso reasons, and for othors too numer oub to mention, tho Provisional Directors fool fully justified in rocommondlng tho under taking to tho Publlo as a work of national as well as local importance. As an investment of capital, it will bo dlreotly romunerativo, and thoy confidently expect tbo hearty support of tho pooplo of Auck land, both town and. country, in a work which cannot fall, Immediately on its completion, to add, as no one undertaking has added before, to tho population, production, and tho import nnd export trade of tho whole Provincial Dlstriot. The Nominal Capital of the Company is pro posed to be fixed at £100,000, In 100,(100 Shares of £1 each. Tho first issue of Bhares to be 200,000, on whioh it is not intended to call up more than 10s por Share, and it is anticipated that 5a per Share will suffice aa paid-up capital, for the first seotion of the Railway, because it ia propoaed to exerolae the borrowing powers conferred by tho Acta. On tho prosecution of the second section. It will be a question whether to issue mora Shares, or make further calls on thoso already issued. The payments on tho first issue to bo 1b on application, and tho balanco by Calls of la eaob, at Intervals of not loss than two months. Applications for Shares to be mado to the Secretary, Shortland-Btreot, or through author ised agents. 70,000 Shares have already boon token by 32 Bubacribers, In amounts not less tban 1,000.
