Jackson & Russell, Fort-street, Auckland, Engineer: Jas, Stewart, Esq., IvL Inst. 0.E., Late District Engineer. Interim Secretary: Jas, Stewart, Esq., C.E. I The proposed railway will bo about seventy-1 four miles In longth, and commencoa at a point on tho Hamilton-Thames Railway, near tho town of Morrtaßville. From this point it runs southward through tho centre of the great valley of the Upper Thames, by a very easy route, tor a distance of thirty-five miloa; it then mounts to tho wooded plateau which divides tho Upper Thames- and Tauranga districts; from this It descends, by an easy routo, to ics terminus nt the Town of Ohinemutu, making o further distancoof thirty-nine miles. Tbiscom plotoa on unbroken chain of railway communi cation between the City of Auckland and tho Hot Lako District, which is tho central point of attraction for tourists to New Zealand, Tho cob. of tho line has boon OBtimatod—after oxploration—by James Stewart, Esq., late Dis trict Kngineor, to bo £2,000 per mile for tho first section of 35 miles; of tho remainder, 21 miles will cost £3,000 per mile, and the remaining IS miles, about £15(10 per mile; making a total cost for construction (of tho class of tbo Government railways, and exclusive of rolling stock) of £-09,500. Tho cost of buildings and rolling stock is estimated at £33,000, making a total cost of £217,500. It Is proposed to construct the Railway in two suction. ; the first seotion of 38 miles under the provisions of "The Distriot Railways Aot, 1877." by which, on approval by the Government, the Colonial rovenue is security for interest on tho cost of construction and equipment not ex ceeding per cent., and the neighbouring lands (rated in proportion to tho benefits derivable from tho construction of tho line) are liable for Interest cot oxcoodlng a further 5 per cent, thua giving a certain interest of 7 nor cone on tho Invcstniont, oven if tho line itself only pays working expenses. Tho majority of the land holders abutting on this seotion havo expressed their wlllingn oes that thoir properties shall bo brought under tho operation of. "Tho Distriot Railwayß Act, and tho Amendment Act, 1878.' For tho construction of tho Becond seotion, passing, ob it does, mainly through native lands, which it is not possible to bring under "Tho District Railways Acts," it Is proposed to work, if possible, undor "Tho Railways Construction and I-and Act. 1881." By this Aot the Colonial Government la empowered to contract with a Company for tho construction of this Railway, among others, and to grant such lands as ore available as an endowment. In this case only 28,000' acres are available, situated in the Patetere country. This would not bo a sufficient endow ment, without rating powers, to warrant the construction of thia seotion of tho lino, but the Dative proprietors havo, in addition, agreed to jivo a considerable area of land to tha' Com pany. It Is also proposed that the Company should acquire, by purchase, a further portion }f nativo lands adjacent to the lino, whioh may be expected to bo largely increased in value by Its construction; and, with thia viow, the capi tal of tho Company haa been fixed at a snm sufficient to include suoh purchases. By this means, it la hoped the construction ot the second section may be undertaken almost eimultane . usly with tho llret. Tho proapeots of immediate and very con siderable trafflo on the line ere ob good, or better, than can be shown on any new lino in New Zealand. The rapid strides mode during __c last few years In the Upper Thames and Waikato districts, show that tbe country has a power of produotion and of supporting a large population in proportion to its area—equal to ilmost any other part of the oolony. The pro ceted railway line will open up on area of Irom 1,500,000 to 2,000,000 of acres of ovollable ond, a large portion ready for immediate occu pation, but at present wholly unoccupied, owing portly to the want of means of communication, md partly to the fact that a portion of this ter ritory has but recently baon acquired trom the -ative owners. The settlement of this extensive irou must necessarily, for some years to oome, jroato a very largo import traffic, and year by rear, as settlement progresses, the export trafflo if groin, stook, and other produce must also in preaao to vory large dimensions But, inde pendently of the ordinary sources of supply towards a railway trafflo which agricultural and pastoral settlement of the oountry affords, there ire special reaaonß which justify the expectation if on unusually rapid development of a varied, .xtenslve, and paying business on this line. It ia now generally known tbat the purchasers of she lands known aa the Patetere District are ;aking active atepa towardß the Immediate colo nization, by comparatively small holders, of the whole of tho lands they have acquired, or are icqulring, through the agency of a powerful oom pany In England. The Importations consequent . n the introduction of a largo population cannot 'all to be very considerable during the flrat years pf their settlement. Again, the line in its courso lo Ohinemutu, taps a valuable forest of magnlfl pont llimber, from whloh-oa Boon as the line Is pompleted so for —the whole ot the Upper Thamea and Waikato districts will undoubtedly Iraw tholr supplies ot timber for house build ing, fencing, and fuel; and last, but certainly not least, the large nnd evor increasing stream Df tourists visiting New Zealand from all ports of th 6 world, attraoted by the wonders of Ohinemntu and Rotomahana, will certainly prefer to use this line of railway, which will convey them easily ln ono short day from tho city of Auckland to the Hot Springs, by an easy md most interesting route, thus giving to tho line the exceptional advantage of a large passenger trafflo at once, quite irrespective of tho ordinary passenger tromo of the country. It may alao t_» pointed out that forj a distance of fully forty miles the proposed line must, at a future and not vory distant date, form port ot the main line connecting Auokland with , Napier and Wellington, through the interior of the Inland. Regarding tho trafflo whioh may bo expected a comparison may bo made with the existing lines in Auckland. Seeing that on these lines there are many milea ot unproductive country, and that tho volleys of tho Plaka, Woitoo and Thames aro largely settled and stooked (and by the timo tho line is opon may ba expootcd to bo fully so), looking also to the soheme for tho set tlement of tho Patotore country, the Provisional Directors think the comparison a fair ono. Tho latest returns of the Kaipara-Te Awamutu rail way show a not revenue of £193 par mile per annum. Thia would give on tho first seotion ot thirty-eight miles, a net rovenue of £7,331, or 7J per cent, on £100,000. Estimating the rovenue for tho five yearß working at only one-half that of tho Kaipara-Waikato line, 33 per cent, will be obtained, leaving only 3$ per cont. to be made up by the District Rate and Hovernmont con tribution, or a little over ,2} per cent, and under 1 per cent respectively. For these reasons, and for others too numor oub to mention, the Provisional Directors feel fully justified in recommending tho under taking to the Publio as a work of national as woll ss local importance. As- on investment of capital, it will bo directly remunerative, and they confidently expect the hear ty support of the people of Auck land, both town and oountry, in a work which cannot fail, immediately on its completion, to odd, ob no one undertaking has added before, to the population, produotion, and the import and export trade of tho wholo Provincial Distriot. Tho Nominal Capital of the Company is pro posed to be fixed at £100,000, in 100,(100 Shares of £1 eaoh. The first issue ot Shares to be 200,000, on which it is not intended to call up more than 10s por Share, ond it is anticipated tbat 5s per Share will snfflce as paid-up oapitol, for the first section of the Roilway, because it is proposed to exercise the borrowing powers conferred by the Acta. On tho prosecution of tho second seotion, it will be a question whether to issue more Shores, or make further calls on those already Issued. The payments on the first issue to be Is on application, and the balance by Calls of Is each, at intervals of not loss than two months. Applications for Shores to he mado to the Secretary, Shortland-Btreet, or through author ised agents. . ■ • 78,000 Shares hove already been takon by 82 subscribers, ln amounts not less tbon 1,000. As it is anticipated that the whole of the Shares will he rapidly taken np, early application will be necessary. Priority of application will bo a factor in tbe allotment of Shares by the Direc tory. No application will bo received for less than 20 shares. Tho following Gentlemen are AGENTS authorised to receive applications for Shores, viz.:— Joseph Newman, Auokland Alex, Saunuers, „ Chas.
