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 as Portobello, with the view of continuing it to the Heads. So soon as possible, it is proposed to commence near the- crossing of the Clu|ha .Eailway at the Anderson’s Say Hoad, 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 in the City. . . • - • 1 Phe promoters arc, satisfied that.such a rail- j way will not n be .directly profitable .as an investment, but that it will prove an immense boon to the inhabitants of Dunedin and the settlers in the district through which it will pass. The Forbury Branch will pass the 'Gale donian Grounds, Gasworks, and Face Course, and terminate at or near the Forbury Boad ; 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 Road, beyond the Bay View Hotel, and proceed to Anderson’s Bay, and thence clown the East side of the Harbor to Portobello.' ‘ This line will secure a considerable goods traffic in Lime Timber, Coal, Bricks, and > Farm, and 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 lands of traffic will be very much increased by what will no doubt follow the construction of the railway, viz. —steamer from Port Chalmers to Portobello, and a deep water wharf at the Heads, 1 when the line is finished that length. ’ [ The Provincial Government, fully recognising " the public importance Of the proposed under-. taking; has promised to give all public lands required.for the construction Of ’ifche dine, including sufficient land-for-a Dunedin Terminus in a central situation ; aud-,the Government has also undertaken, if necessary, to' .wotfc the line its. rolling 'jstock .oh fair, and reasonable terms. - ■ Ihe Promoters have every reason to believe that .all private lands required for the line will be freely given- by their respective owners.
