It is proposed to construct a Railway from Dunedin to the Ocean Beach at the Forbury on the one side, and on the other down by .Anderson’s Bay and the east side of the Harbor, as far a« Portobello, with the view of continuing it to the Heads. So sooa as possible, it is proposed to commence near the crossing of the Clutha Railway at the Anderson’s Bay Road, making use of the Clutha Line from Dunedin to that point, until the Company thinks it desirable to construct a separate line from its own terminus m the City. The promoters are satisfied that such a railway will not u- be directly profitable as an investment, but that it will prove au immense boon to the inhabitants of Dunedin and the Settlers in the district through which it-will Sass, The Forbury Branch will pass the Caleonian Grounds, Gasworks, and Babe Course, and terminate at or near the Forbury Road ; and it is believed that the passenger traffic on this part alone will pay a good interest on the capital necessary to construct the whole line. The other Branch will leave the Anderson’s Bay Read, beyond the Bay View Hotel, and proceed to Anderson s Bay, and thence down the East side of the Harbor to Portobello. This line will secure a considerable goods traffic in Lime, Timber, Coal, Bricks, and Farm aud Garden Produce; while the rapidly increasing popularity of the sunny slopes of the Peninsula for summer residences and pleasure excursions, will draw a large passenger traffic. Both hi mb. of traffic will be very much increased by what wUI no doubt follow the construction of the railway, viz.—steamer from Port Chalmers to Portobello, and a deep water wharf at the Heads, when the line is finished that length. The Provincial Government, fully recognising the public importance of the proposed undertaking, has promised to give all public lands required for the construction of the line, including sufficient land for a Dunedin Terminus in a central situation ; and the Government also undertaken, if necessary, to work the linn with its rolling stock on lair and reasonable terms.

The Promoters have every reason to believe that all private lands required for the line will be freely given by their respective owners. Mr D. Proudfoot has already offered to give, with* out compensation, a strip of land through the whole breadth of his valuable property near the Ocean Beach. ' The following may be taken. as a rough estimate of the approximate cost of the different sections, exclusive of rolling stock:— From Dunedin to Ocean Beach From near Mr Tolmie’s ... 24 miles ... £7,000 house to Portobollo, via Anderson’s Bay" 9i From Portobeuo to the Heads 5i ... 30,000 ... 18,000 £55,000 Applications for Shares may be made to the undersigned.
