Leary. It will readily be conceded that one of tb greatest wants in the principal dries of '• e Zealand is first-class hotel accommodation t provide which wi 1 involve a large expend tu i r i e ' beyond the limits of individual e ipita This Company is formed for the purpose < erecting in Dunedin a first-class Hotel; sim lar in character to those existing in the lan cities of Europe and Ameri a one whio will not only supply existing requirement but wil' offer special attractions and induct ments to tourists and travellers to visit thi part of New Zealand.

1'- is proposed that the building to be erected shall contain 200 Bedrooms, spacious Du mg and Drawing Rooms, Library, Private Rooms for families, and all the neces-ary adjuncts of a really first-class Hotel of the kiud indicated. ah unexceptionable freehold site baa already been secured at moderate cost. It is estimated that the eost of ‘freehold land and buildings will not exceed L 29.000, and the furniture and fittings L 6.000, thus tofcal outlay required about L 35 000. To meet this cost, a paid-up capital of L 20.000 will be sufficient, as the balance can readily be borrowed at a moderate rate of interest on the security of the Lacd and Buildings. The profits realised by the leading hotels in London, Paris, Berlin, St. Petersburg, and America, average 22 per cent, npon the amount of invested capital From reliable information obtained from competent persons, the promoters of the Southern Hotel Company (Limited) are fully persuaded that, und r careful management, the profi s from this enterprise will provide a very handsome return for the capital subscribed. Exclusive of revenue derived from the hot. i business proper, it is estimated that a considerable income will be received in the way of rent for the principal portion of the ground floor, which, would be readily let for Shops. &c., and would not be required for bo »1 purposes. I ue promoters feel that it is almost superfluous to impress upon the citizens of Dunedin the great advantages which would acci ue to their city from the successful devekrpment of such an enterprise as the one projected. The increase in the number of visitors to, Dunedin would inevitably be accompanied by an Increase in the vitality of every department of commerce and trade and would thereby materially augment the prosperity of all classes of the community.
