It will readily be conceded that one of the greatest wants in the principal cities of Xew Zealand is first-class hotel accommodation, to provide which wi 1 involve a large expend!ture, beyond the limits of individual c-pitaL This Company is formed for the purpose of erecting in Dunedin a first-class Hotel, similar in character to those existing in the large cities of Europe and Ameri a -one which will not only supply existing requirements but will offer special attractions and inducements to tourists and travellers to visit this part pf is ew Zealand. It is proposed that the building to be erected shall contain 200 Bedrooms, spacious Dining and Drawing Rooms, Library, Private Booms for families, and all the necea ary adjuncts of a really first-class Hotel of tfie kiud indicated. An unexceptionable freehold site has already been secured at moderate cost. Jt is estimated that the cost of freehold land and buildings will not exceed L 29.000, and the furniture and fittings L6,G00, thus making the total outlay required about L 35.000. To meet this cost, a paid-up capital of L 20.000 will be sufficient, as the balance oan readily be borrowed at a moderate rate of interest on the security of the Land and H uildings. V The profits realised by the leading hotels in London, Paris, Berlin, St. Petersburg, and \merica. average 22 per cent, upon the amount of invested capital. From reliable mturmation obtained from competent persons, the promoters of the Southern Hotel Uoifi. pany (Limited) are fully persuaded that, und r careful management, tlie profi a from this -v-nterprise will provide a very handsome return for the capital subscribed. Exclusive of revenue derived from the hotel business proper, it is estimated that a c .naiderable income will be received in the way of rent for the principal portion of the ground floor, which would be readily let 'for Shops, Ac., and would not be required for ho i-l purposes. The promoters feel that it is almost superfluous to impress upon the dtiEens of Dimedm the great advantages which would accrue to their city from the successful development of such an enterprise as the one projected. The increase in the number of visitors to Dunedin would inevitably be aoj companied by an increase in tine vitality of I evtry department ©f. commerce and trader j and would thereby materially augment thn prosperity of all classes of the community.
