It is proposed to form the above company for the purpose of purchasing all the promoters' rights to the Dobson's Creek Water Race. The detail survey and estimates of the race have been carefully completed by competent and experienced surveyors, and their reports state that by the construction of the race and a reservoir a constant supply of ten Government heads can be depended upon all the year round, which can"be'brought on to Hayes's and Quinn's terraces sufficiently high to be used either for sluicing or washing paddocks. The Provisional Directors propose, before registering the company, to have the levels checked by E. J. Lord, Esq, who will also prepare the specifications for the works. There will be an immediate return from the Race after the construction of the first mile and a-half or two miles,' as three good tributaries are intersected within that distance. This company will have a great advantage in bringing in water to Hayes's and Quinn's Terraces, it being the only water that can be brought in high enough at anything like a reasonable cost. The terraces have been proved payable for a mile] and a-hqlf, and at the present time there are ov«rfifty:paddocks erected, besides several sluicing'claimß,;which -the Race would command. This new field is now so thoroughly and extensively developed .that for years to come the supply of water' that'will be. at the... command r of the company must ensure a large revenue. I It is proposed to commence, operations immediately after 'receiving* Mr Lord's report. ■-- ■ . •' Applications for shares will.be received by the broker to the company up 1 to jUT.URDAY, ihe Bth September, 1877, .at 8 p.in.'
