Stewart, Esq., M. Inst. C.E., Late District Engineer. Interim Secretary t . ■ ,' j r ... .Jas. Stewakt.JEsq., C.E-. The proposed railway will bu abont sovonty (our miles in length, and commences at a point on the . Hamilton-Thames Railway, near the town of MorHnavillo. From this point it rons southward through the ceiitro df the great valley of the Upper Thames, by a voryeaSy route, for a distaico cf thirty-Jlve miles; it then mounts to the wooded plateau which divides the Upper Thames and Tauranga districts; from this it descends, by an easy route, to Us terminus at the Town of Ohlnemutu, making a farther distance of thirty-nine miles. This com pletes an unbroken chain of railway communi cation between the City of Auckland and the Hot LBlte Dihtriot, which is the central point Of attraction for tourists to New Zealand. The cost of the lino has been estimated-aftor exploration—by James Stewart, Esq., loto Dis trict Kngineor, to bo £2.000 per mile for the first section of 35 miles; of tho remainder, 24 miles will cost £3,000 per mile, and the remaining 16 miles, about £15,0 per mile; making a total cost for construction (ot the class of the Government railway?, and exolnsive of rolling stock) of £209,500. The cost of buildings and rolling stock is estimated at £38.000, making a total cost of £217.500. It is proposed to construct the Railway in two sections; the first seoticn of 38 miles under the provisions of "The District Railways Jot, 1877," by which, on approval by the Government, tho Colonial revenue is security for interest on the cent of construction and equipment not ex ceeding 2 per cent., and the neighbouring; lands (rated in proportion to the benefits derivable from the construction of tho line) aie liable for interest »ot exceeding a further 5 per cent, thus giving a certain interest of 7 per cent on the investment, even if tho line Itself only pays working expenses. The majority of the land holders abutting on this section have expressed their willingness that their properties shall be brought under tho operation of " The District Railways Act, and the Amendment Aot, 1878.' For the construction of the second section, pasting, as it does, mainly through Lativolands, which it is not possible to bring under "The District Railways Acte," It is proposed to work, if pOßoible, tinder "The RailwaV6 Construction and Land Act, 1881." By this Act the Colonial Government is empowered to contract with a Company for the construction of this Railway, among others, and to grant each lands as are available as an endowment. In this case only 28,000 acres are available, sitnated in the Patetero country. This would not bo a sufficient endow ment, without rating powers, to warrant the construction of this section of tho line, but the native proprietors have, in addition, agreed to give a considyrable area of land to the Com pany. It iii also proposed that the Company ' should acquire, by purchase, a further portion of native lands adjacent to the line, which may be expected to be largely increased in value by its construction; and, with this view, the capi tal of the Company has been lixed at a Bum sufficient to include euch purchases. By this means, it is hoped the construction of the second section may be undertaken almost simultane ously with the first. The prospects of immediate and very con siderable . traffic on the line are as good, or better, than can be shown en any new line in New Zealand. The rapid strides made during the last few years in the Upper Thames ana Waikato districts, show that the country haa a power of production and of supporting a large population in proportion to its area—equal to almost any other part of the colony. The pro jected railway line will open up an area of from 1,500,000 to 2,000,000 of acres ot available land, a large portion ready for immediate occu pation, but at present wholly unoccupied, owing partly to the want of means of communication, and pai tly to the faot that a portion of this ter ritory has but recently been acquired from the native owners. The settlement of this extensive area must necessarily, for Borne years to come, create a vei y large import traffic, and year by year, as settlement progresses, tho export traffic of grain, stock, and other produce must also in crease to very large dimensions. But, inde- I pendently of the ordinary sources of supply towards a railway traffic which agricultural ana pastoral settlement of the country affords, there are special reasons which justify the expectation of an unusually rapid development of a varied, extensive, and paring business on this line. It is now generally known that the purchasers Of the lands known as the Patetere District are taking active steps towards the immediate colo nization, by comparatively small holders, of the whole of the lands they have acquired, or are acquiring, through the agency ef a powerful com pany in England. The importations consequent on tha Introduction of a large population cannot fail to be very considerable during tho first years of their settlement. Again, the line in its course to Ohinemutu, taps a valuable forest of magnifi cent Itimber, from which—as soon as the line Is completed so far—the whole of the Upper Thames and Waikato districts will undoubtedly draw their supplies of timber for house build ing, fencing, and fuel; and last, but certainly not loast, tho large and ever increasing stream of tourists visiting New Zealand rrom all parts' of the world, attracted by the wonders of Ohinomutu and Rotomahane, will certainly prefer to use this line of railway, which will convey tham easily In ono short day from the city ol Auckland to the Hot Springs, by an easy and most interesting route, thus glviDg to the lino the exceptional advantage of a large passenger trafflo at once, quite irrespective Of the ordinary passenger traffic of the country. It may also be pointed out that for a distance ot fully forty miles the proposed line must, at a future and not very distant d»to, form part of the main line connecting Auckland with Napier and Wellington, through, the interior of the ieland. Regarding the trafflo which may be expected, a comparison may be made with the existing linos in Auckland. Seeing that on these lines there are many miles of unproductive country, and that the valleys of tho Piaka, Walton and Thames aro largely settled and stocked (and by the time the line is open may be expeoted to bs fully so), looking also to the scheme for tho set tlement of the Putetere country, the Provisional Direotors think tho comparison a fair one. Tho latest returns of the Kaipara-To Awamutu rail way show a net revenue of £193 per mile per annum. ' This would give on the tat section of thirty-eight miles, a net revenue of £7,331, or 7i por cent, on £100,000. Estimating the revenue for the five yearn" working at only one-half that of tho K»ipara-Waikato line, 35 per cent, will be obtained, leaving only 3J per cent, to be made op by tho Dißtrict Rate and Government con tribution, or a little over |2i per cent and under 1 per oentrespectively. j For these reasons, and for others too numer ' ous to mention, the Provisional Directors foel fully justified in recommending the under taking to ihe Public as a work of national as well as local importance. As an investment of capital, it will be directly remunerative, and they confidently expect the hearty support ot the people of Auck land, boh town and country, in a work which cannot fail, immediately on its completion, to add, as no one undertaking has added before, to the population, production, and the import and export trade of the whole Provincial District. The Nominal Capital of the Company is pro posed to bo fixed at £100,000, in 400,(100 Shares of £1 each. The first isßue ot Shares to be 200,000, on which it is not intonded to call up more than 10s por Share, and it is anticipated that 6s per Share will suffice as paid-up capital, for the first section of the Railway, beoauee it is proposed to oxercise the borrowing powers conferred by the Aots. On the prosecution of the second section, it will bo a question whether to isßue more Shares, or make further culla on those already Issued. The payments on the first iss»o to be la on application, and the balance by Calls of Is each, at intervals ot not lobs than two month b. Applications for Shares to bo made to the Secretary, Shortland-street, or through author ised agents. 70,000 Shares have already bean taken by 82 subscribers, in amounts not less tban 1,000. Ab it is anticipated that the whole of the Shares will be rapidly taken up, early application will be necessary. Priority of application will be a factor in tho allotment of Shares by the Direc tory. No application will bo received for less tban 20 Shares. The following Gentlemen are AGENTS authorised to receive applications for Shares, viz.:— • Joseph Newman, Auokland Alex. Saunaera, „ Chas.
