C.E., Late District Engineer;.,. ■ , Interim Secretary: : Jas. .Steward Esq.* G.E. The proposed railway, will be about seventy four miles in length, and. commences at a point on the' Hamilton-Thames: • Railway, near .the town of Morrinßville. Fzom this point it runs southward through the oeritre of the great valleyof the i Upper Thames, by a very easy route, for'a distance of thirty-five niiles; it then mounts to the wooded plateau which divides ttao Upper Thames, and Tauranga districts; from this it descends, by, an easy route, to its tormiCuu at the Town of Ohinemutu, making a further distance of thlrtMilhe miles! ThiK com pletes Hn unbroken chain o* railway communi cation between the City Of Auckland and the Hot Lake Dlstriot, whioh Is the central point of attraction for tourists'to New Zealand. The cost of the lino has been estimated—atter explorotion-by Jarpes'Bt"wart, Esq.* late Dls triot Engineer, to bo £2,000 per mile for the first section of 35 miles; of the remainder, 24 miles will cost £3.000 per milo, and the remaining 16 miles, about £ISOO per, mile; making.a total cost, for construction (of the olass of the Government railways; and exoluSive of rolling' stock) of £209,500. The cost of buildings and rolling stock is estimated at £38,000. making a total coat of £247,500. It is proposed to oonstrnot the Railway In two sections; the first seotion of 88 miles undergo provisions of "The District Railways Aot, 1877, by whioh, on approval by the Government,- the Colonial revenue is security for Interest on the cost of construction and equipment not ex ceeding 2 per cent,, ana the neighbouring lands (rated in proportion to the benefits, derivable from the construction of the line) are liable for interest not exceeding a further 5 per cent, thus giving a certain Interest of 7 per cent on the investment, even if the lino itself only pays working expenses, The majority ot the land holders abutting on this section have expressed their willingness that their properties shall be brought under tho operation of " The Dlstriot Railways Aot, and tho Amendment Aot, 1878. For the construction <of j the second section, passing, as it doec, mainly .through native landß, whioh it is not possible to bring under, "The Dlstriot Railways Acts," it is proposed to work, if possible, under "The Hallways Construction and Land Act, 1881." By this Act the Colonial Company for the construction of this RailwW,' among others, and to grant such lands as are available as an endowment. In this ease only 28,000 acres are available, sit uatod in the Patetere country. This would not be a sufficient endow ment, without rating powers, to warrant the construction of this section of the line, but the native proprietors hate, in addition* agreed to give a considerable area of land to tho Com pany. It is also proposed that the Company Bhonld acquire, by purchase, a farther portion be expected to be largely increased in valae by its construction; and, with this view,:the capi tal of the Company has been .fixed at a sum sufficient to include snCh purchases. By this means, it is hoped tho 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 oan be shown on any new line In New Zealand. The rapid strides made during the last tew years in the Upper Thames and | Waikato dlstriot*, show that the country hag 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 op an area of from 1,600,000 to 2,000.000 of sores ot available: land, a large portion ready for immediate ooou partly to the Want of means of oo and partly to the fact that a portion of this ter ritory has but recontly been acquired from the native Owners, The settlement of this extensive area must necessarily, for some years to come, create a very large Import traffic, and yeaf by year, as settlement progresses,' the export trafflo of grain, stock, and other produce must alto in crease to very large dimensions. But, .Inde pendently of the ordinary sources of supply towards a railway traffic which agricultural.and pastoral settlement of the country aflbrdß, there are special reasons which justify the expectation ot an unusually rapid development of a varied, extensive, «nd paying business oh this line. It is now generally known that rhe purchasers of the lands known as the Patetere District are taking active steps towards the Immediate oolo whole of the lanes they have acquired, or a*e acquiring* through the aaenoy of a powerfnloom pany In England. The importations consequent n n ,>,o nt alarffA nnnnlfttlnn Cannot f ail to be very considerable during the tint yearn, of their settlement. Again, the line In its course to Ohinemutu. taps a valuable forest of magnifi cent Itimber, from'whtoh-as soon as the line ifi completed so far—the whole of the Upper Thames and Walkato districts will undoubtedly draw their supplies of limber for house build ing, fencing, and fuel; and last, but certainty not least, the large and ever increasing stream of tourists visiting Xew Zealand from all parts of the world, attracted by the wonders of Ohinemutu and Rotomahana, will .oertajruy, prefer to use this line of railway, whioh will convey them easily in one short day frotH' the and moat interesting route, thus giving to the line the exceptional advantage of a large i passenger traffio at once, quite irrespective Of. e country. lay also be pointed out that for a distance I of fully forty miles the proposed line must, at - a future and not very distant date, form j>art. of the main line conaeotlng Auckland with Napier and Wellington, through the interior of theisland. ' ..'-, , »



Regarding the trafflo which mar be expected, a comparison mar pa made with the existing lines in Auokland. Seeing that on those lines there are many miles of unproductive country, and that the valleys Of the Plaka, Waltoa-. and Thames are largely settled and stocked (and: by the time the line is open may be expaoted to be fully so), looking also to thesoheme focthomet tlement of the Patetere country, the Provisional Directors think the comparison a fair one.. The. lateßt returns of the;Kaipara-Te Awamutu. rati-: way show a net revenue of £193 yer. mile jper annum. This would give on.the ftst section of: thirty-eight miles, a net revenue of £7,331, or 7i pet cent, on £IOO.OOO. Estimating the revenue for the five years working at only one-half that of the Kaipara-Waikatoline, 38 percent will be obtained, leaving only SJ per oent. to be made; up by the District Rato and Government con tribution, or a little overM per cent and under 1 per. oent respectively. > «£i For these reasons, and for others too pumer oris to mention, the -Provisional Directors feel fully justified'in recommending the Under taking to the Publlo bs a work -of national as well as local Importance. As an Investment of capital, it ' wlu be dtreotly remunerative, and they confidently expect the hearty support of the people Of Auok-. land, both town and country, ina.workwhioh. add, as no one undertaking has added before, to the population, production, and the Import and' export trade of the whole FrOviaclal Distriot : The Nominal Capital of the Company is pro pOßtedto be fixed at £IOO,OOO, in 100,000 Sharesof £1 eaohv The first issue of Shares to be 200,000,, —i.i.,i, u< n „«f ;.,i.-.v,r1n,l ,o nail iin mm-A than 10s per Share, and it Is anticipated th{ Share will suffice as paid-up oapital, for the first! seotion of the Hallway, beoawe it is proposed to exeroiss the borrowing powers conferred bytho Aots.
