This Company is formed for the purpose of constructing, under the provisions of the District Railways Act, a line ’Of ; railway from Carnarvon junction to Sanson, a distance of 13 miles 60 chains. . i The district through which the proposed line will run, is admitted by all competent judges to .be soma of the finest agricultural land in the colony, ■ large quantities being annually broken up ; there being at the present tipie ; a considerable area under crop. There is' also extensive bush land in the vicinity of the proposed line, containing first-class timber. * The line will open direct communication with the port of Foxton, and ultimately extend to G'.eatford Station bn the Wanganui railway, lessening-the distance from Foxton to Wanganui by 22 miles, and will doubtless become a portion of the main line from Wellington to the North. The promoters have confidence in predicting that the proposed line will be a hlcrativo investment, as, outside stock and timber,' large quantities of grain and other produce must pass over it.- The passenger traffic would also be considerable, and when the extension to the Greatford Station is formed, by far the larger portion, if not the whole, of the through traffic would use the line, it..making a difference of ss. 6d. in a single first-class and 3s. Bd. second-class ticket from Wanganui to Foxton, besides a saving in time of two hours. The line being once formed, the quantity of land at present annually broken up would be greatly increased through the facilities afforded by railway transit for grain. The greater portion of the country through which the proposed line runs is settled upon by a thrifty population. The promoters have little doubt that the working of the line will realise a handsome profit, beside the security of the guarantee of 7 per cent, under the District Railways Act. The line will be formed upon a portion of the road the whole of the distance (about 13 miles); consequently no land, wic.h the exception of that required for stations, yrill.be pur- - chafed, .thus enabling, the Company to construct the line upon exceptionally favorable •ferine; fn fact, little or no cost will be incurred besides, the frmarion, which will be 'of the easiest, there being no cuttings of any importance necßsacy. VI" The Govern- lent havingordered a large quantity.cfirails from England at a low rate, have fijgnified.their willingness to supply the Company with superior rails far the proposed line at actual cost price, which offer the directors have resolved:to accept..; ■r. The Government have undertaken to work the line upon terms sufficient to cover woiking ;erpenses and wear.and tear of rolling stock. Shares have already been subscribed for Ju t)ie district.
