among the contractors and and railway workmen. My reason for thinking so is that I have had enquiries for allotments from contractors 1000 shares at £5 each would be the correct thing, giving £1000 for road making and expenses. It appears to me that investors would probably clear 100 p. c. in a few years, although the return in the meantime might be small. I should like to make hay while the sun shines, or in other words make myself secure while things are prosperous.
