Stewart, Esq., M. Inst. C.E., Late District Engineer. Interim Secretary: Jas. Stewart, Esq., C.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 Morrlnsville. From this point it runs southward through the centre of the great 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 the Upper Thames nnd Tanrasga districts; from thin it descends, by an easy route, to its terminus at the Town of Ohinemutu, making a further distance of thirty-nine miles. This oom pletea an unbroken chain ot railway communi cation between the City of Auokland and the Hot Lake District, which la the central point of attraction for tourists to New Zealand. The cose of the line has beon estimated—after exploration—by James Stewart, Esq., late Dis trict Engineer, to be £2,000 per mile for the first section of 35 miles; of the remainder, 21 miles will cost £3,000 per mile, and the remaining 15 miles, about £1500 per mile; making a total cost for construction (of the olasa of the Government railways, and exclusive of rolling stock) of £209,500. The coat 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 section of 38 miles under the provisions of "The Diatriot Railways A0«,1877," >y which, 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., and 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 cortain interest of 7 per cent on the investment, even if the 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 irought uuder the operation of "The District Railways Act, and the Amendment Act, 1878.' For the construction of the second section, passing, as it does, mainly through native lands, whloh it is not possible to bring under " The District Railways Acts," it is proposed to work, it possible, under "The Railways 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 such lands as are available as an endowment. In this case only 28,000 acres are available, situated in the Patotere 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 have, In addition, agreed to give a considerable area of land to the Com pany. It la also proposed that the Company shonld acquire, by purchase, a further portion of native lands adjacent to the line, which may bo expected to be largely increased In valuo by its construction; and, with this view, the capi tal of the Company has been fixed at a sum suffloiont to inoluilo such 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 trafflo on the line are as good, or bouer. than can be shown on any new line in New Zealand. The rapid strides made during the last few years in the Upper Thames ana Waikato district?, show that the country has a power ot 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 of available land, a largo portion ready for immediate occu pation, but at present wholly unoccupied, owing partly to the want of means of communication, and partly to the fact that a portion of this ter ritory has but recently been acquired from tho native owners. The settlement of this extensive area must necessarily, for some years to come, create a very large import trafflo, and year by year, as settlement progresses, the export trafflo of grain, stock, and other produce must aleo In crease to very large dimensions. Bnt, Inde pendently of the ordinary sources of supply towards a railway traffic which agricultural and pastoral settlement ot the oountry affords, there are spocial reasons which justify the expectation of an unusually rapid development of a varied, extensive, and paying business on this line. It Is now generally known that the purchasers of the lands kaown as the Patetere District are taking active steps towards the Immediate colo nisation, by comparatively small holders, of the whole of the lands they have acquired, or are acq ulrlnz, through the agency of a powerful com pany in England. The importations consequent on the introduction of a large population cannot fall to be very considerable during the first years of their settlement. Again, the line in its course to Ohinemutn, taps a valuable forest of magnifi cent Itimber, from which—as soon as the line is completed so far —the whole ot the Upper Thames and Waikato districts will undoubtedly draw their supplies ot timber for house build ing, fencing, and fuel; and lost, but osrtainly not least, the large nnd ever increasing stream of tourists visiting New Zealand irom all parts of the world, attracted by the wonders of Oblnomutu and Rotomahana, will certainly prefer to use this lino ot railway, which will convey them easily in one short day from the city oi Auckland to the Hot Springs, by an easy and most interesting route, thus giving to the line the exceptional advantage of a large passenger traffics at onoe, quite irrespective of the ordinary passenger traffic of the country. It may also be pointed out that for a distance of fully forty miles the proposed line must, at a future and not very distant date, form part of the main line connecting Auckland with Napier and Wellington, through the interior of the Island. Regarding the traffic which may be expected, a comparison may be made with the existing lines in Auckland. Seeing that on these lines thero are many miles of unproductive country, and that the valleyß of the Plaku, Waltoa and Thames are largely settled and stocked (and by the time the line is open may be expected to be fully so), looking also to the scheme for the set tlement of the Patetere country, the Provisional Directors think tho comparison a fair one. The latest returns of the Kaipara-Te Awamutu rail way show a net revenue of £193 per mile per annum. This would give on the first section of thirty-eight miles, a net revenue Of £7,331, or 71 per cent, on £100,000. Estimating the revenue for the five years' working at only one-half that of the Kaipara-Waikato line, 33 per cent, will be obtained, leaving only 3J per cent, to be made up by the District Rate and Government con tribution, or a little over ( 2 J per cent, and under 1 peroent respectively; For these reasons, and for others too numei ous to mention, the Provisional Direotors feel fully justified in. recommending the under taking to the 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 of the people of Auck land, both town and oountry. In a work which cannot fail, immediately on its completion, to add, as no one undertaking has added before/to the population, production, and tho Import and export trade of the whole Provincial District The Nominal Capital of the Company is pro posed to be fixed at £100,000, in 400,1100 Shares of £1 eaoh. Tho first issue of Shares to be 200,000, on which it Is not intended to oall up more than 10s per Sharo. and it is anticipated that 5s per Share will suffice as paid-up capital, for the first seotion of the Railway, beoause it is proposed to exerolEe the borrowing powers confegred 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 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 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 beon 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 application will be nooessary. Priority ot application will be a factor in the allotment of Shares by the Direc tory. No application will bo received for less than 20 Shares. The following Gentlemen are AGENTS authorised to receive applications for Shares, viz,;— ■ . . ■.
