Jas, Stewart, Esq., M, Inst, f Ift, Lato District Engineer, Interim Secretary: Jas. Stewart, Es(__, C,E. The proposed railway will bo about seventy four miles in longth, and commences at a point on tho Hamilton-Thames Railway, near the town of Morrlnßvllls. from this point it rnne southward through the centre of the Rreat valley of the Upper Thames, by a very easy route, for a distance of thirty-five miles; it then mounts to the wooded plateau which divides tho Upper Thames and Tauranga districts; from thia it dosconda, by an easy route, to its terminus at the Town of Ohinemutu, making a further distanoe of thirty-nine miles. This com pletes an unbroken chain of railway communi cation betwoen tbe City of Auckland and the Hot Lako District, which la the central point of attraction for tourists 10 New Zealand. The coat of the lino haa been estimated—after exploration—by James Sto wart, Esq., lato Dis trict Engineer, to be £2,000 per milo for the first section of 35 miles; of the remainder, 21 miles will cost £3,(100 per mile, and the remaining IS miles, about £1510 per mile; making a total cost for construction (of tho class of the Government railways, and exclusive of rolling stock) of £209,500. The OOEt of buildings and rolling stock is estimated at £35.000. making a total coat of £217 500 It ia proposed to construct the Railway In two sections; tbo llrat section of 38 miles under the provisions of "The District Railways Aot, 1877," by whioh, on approval by the Government, tho Colonial revenue Is security for interest on tho ocst ot construction and equipment not ex ceeding 2 pot cent., and the neighbouring lands (rated in proportion to tho benefits derivable from tho construction of the line) aro liable for interest not exceeding a further 5 per cent, thus giving a certain interest ot 7 per cent on tho Investment, even if tha line itself only pays working expenses. The majority of the land holders abutting on this section have expressed their willingness that their properties shall bo brought under the operation of "Tho Distriot Railways Act, and tho Amendment Act, 18?8.' For the construction Of the second section, passing, aa it does, mainly through native lands, which it Is not possible to bring under " The Distriot Railways Acta," it Is proposed to work, if possible, under "Tho Rail ways Construction and Land Aot, 1881.*' By this Act the Colonial Government is empowered to contract with a Company far tha construction of this Railway, among others, and to grant sttoh lands bb are available as an endowment. In this case only 28,000 aores are available, situated in the Patetere country. This would not be a sufficient endow ment, without rating powers, to warrant the construction of this seotion of the line, but the native proprietors have, in addition, agreed to give a considerable area of land to the Com pany. It is also proposed that the Company uhould acquire, by purchase, a further portion of native lands adjacent to the line, whioh may be expected to be largely Increased in value by its construction; and, with thi] view, the capi tal ot tho Company bos been fixed at a Bum Bufflclont to include suoh purchases. By this means, it is hoped the ooiißtraction of the sfecbnd section may be undertaken almost simultane ously with the first. The prospects of immediate and very con siderable trafflo on the line are ad good, or better, than con be shown en any new line In New Zealand. The rapid strides made during the last few years in the Upper Thames and Waikato districts, show that the country has a power of produotion and of supporting a large population in proportion to its area—equal to almost any other part of the oolony. The pro jected railway line will open np an area of from 1,600,000 to 2,000,000 ot acres of available land, a largo portion ready for immediate occu pation, but at present wholly unocoupled, owing partly to the want of means of communication, and partly to the foot that a portion of this ter ritory has but recently been acquired from the native owners. The tettlement of this extensive area must necessarily, for some yeara to oome, ore&te a very large import traffic, and year by year, as settlement progresses, the export trafflo ot grain, stock, and other produce must also in crease to very large dimensions. But, inde pendently of the ordinary sources of supply towards a railway trafflo which agricultural and pastoral settlement ot the oountry affords, there are special reasons which justify the expectation of on unusually rapid development of a varied, extensive, and paying business on this line. It la now generally known that the purchasers of the lands known as the Patetere Distriot are taking active steps towards the Immediate colo nization, by comparatively small holders, of the whole of the lands they have aoquired. or are acquiring, through the agency of a powerful com pany ln England. Tbe Importations consequent on tho introduction Of o large population cannot fall to be very considerable during the first years ot their settlement. Again, tho line in ita course to Ohinemutu. taps a valuable forest ot magnifi cent |timber, from whioh—aa soon as the line is completed so far—the whole ot the Upper Thames and Waikato districts will undoubtedly draw their supplies of timber for house build ing, fenoing, and fuel; and last, but certainly not least, tho large and ever inoreasing stream of tourists viaiting Now Zealand Irom all parts of the world, attracted by the wonders of Ohinemutu and Rotomahana, will certainly prefer to use thia line of railway, whioh will convey them easily ln one short day from the oity Ot Auokland to the Hot Springs, by an easy and most interesting routs, thus giving to tho line the exceptional advantage of a large passenger trafflo at onco, quite irrespective of the ordinary passenger trafflo of the country. It may also be pointed oat that forj a distance of fully forty miles the proposed line must, at a future and not very distant date, form part ot the main line conneotlng Auckland with i Napier and Wellington, through the Interior of tho island. Kogarding the trafflo which may be expected a comparison may be made with the existing Uneß in Auckland. Seeing that on these lines there are many miles ot unproductive country, and that tho valleys of the Plaka, Waitoa and Thamos aro largely settled and etooked (and by the tlmo the line is open may bo oxpected to ba fully bo), looking aIBO to the sohome for the set tlement of the Patetere country, the Proviaioual Directors think the comparison a fair ono. The latest returns of the Kaipara-To Awamutu rail way show a net revenue of £193 per mile per annum. This would give on tho first section of thirty-eight miles, a net revenue of £7,331, or 7J per cent, on £100.000. Estimating tho revenue for tho five years working at only one-half that of tho Kaipara-Waikato line, 33 per cent, will be obtained, leaving only 3} per cent, to be made ap by the District Rate and Government con tribution, or a little over |2J per cent, and under, 1 per cent respectively. For these reasons, and for others too numor ous to mention, the Provisional Directors feel fully Justified in recommending the under taking to the Publio as a work, of national os well as local importance. As an investment of capital, it will be dlreody remunerative, and they confidently expeot the hearty support of the people of Auck land, bath town and oountry, in a work whioh cannot fail, immediately on its completion, to add, as no one undertaking has added before, to the population, produotion, and the import and export trade of the whole Provincial District. The Nominal Capital ot the Company is pro posed to be fixed at £100,000, in 100,000 Shares of £1 each. The firat issue of Shares to be 200,000, on which it is not intended to call up more than 10a per Bhare, and it is anticipated that Ca per Share will suffice as paid-up capital, for the first Beotion of the Railway, beoause it Ib proposed to exoroise the borrowing powers conferred by the Acts. On the prosecution of the second section, it will be a question whether to issue more Shares, or make further calls on thoae already issued. The payments on the first ißßne to be Is on application, and the balance by Calls of Is each, at intervals of not less than two months. Applications for Shares to be made to the Secretary, Shortland-street, or through author ised agents. - .'«_'»_. 70,000 Shares have already been taken by 32 subscribers, in amounts not less than 1,000. As it is anticipated that the whole of the Shares will be rapidly taken up, early opplloatlon will bo necessary. Priority of application will be a factor in the allotmeat of Shares by the Direc tory. No application will be reoelved for less than 20 Shares. The following Gentlemen ore AGENTS authorised to receive applications for Bhares, visit— , , Joseph Newman, Auokland Alex. Bounders, ~ Chas.
