Prospectus tive country, and that the valleys of the Piako, Waitca, and Thames aro largely settled and stocked (and by the time the line is open may be oxpeoted to be fully so), looking also to the scheme for the settlement of the Patetcre country, the Provisional Directors think the comparison a fair one. The latest returns of the Kaipara Te Awamutu Bailway show a net revenue of £193 per mile per annum. This would give on the first section of 38 miles, a net revenue of £7334, or 7£ per cent, on £100,000. Estimating the revenue for the first year's working at only one half of the Kaipara Waikato line, 3j per cent, will be obtained, leaving only 3 J per cent, to be made up by the District Kate and Government contribution, or a little over 2J per cent, and under 1 per cent, respectively. For these reasons, and for others too numerous to mention, the Provisional Directors feel fully justified in recommending the undertaking to the public as a work of national as well as local importance. As an investment of capital, it will be directly remunerative, and they confidently expect the hearty support of the people of Auckland, both town and country, in a work which cannot fail, immediately on its completion, to add, as no one undertaking has added before, to the population, production, and the import and export trade of the whole Provincial District. The Nominal Capital of the Company is proposed to be fixed at £400,000, in 400,000Shares of £1 each. The first issue of shares to be 200,000 on which it is not intended to call up moie than 10s per Share, a/id it is anticipated that 6s per share will suffice as paid-up capital for the first section of the Bailway, because it is proposed to exercise the borrowing powers conferred by the Actß. On the prosecution of the second section, it will be a question whether to issue more Shares, or make-further calls on those already issued. The payments on the first issue to be Is on application ; and the balance by Calls of Is each, at intervals of not less than two months. Applications for Shores to bo made to the Secretary, Bhortland street, or through authorised agents. 70,000 Shares have already been taken by 32 subscribers, in amounts not less than 1000. As it is anticipated that the whole of the Shares will be rspidy taken up, early application will bo necessary. Priority of application will be a factor in the allotment of shares by the Directory. No application will be received for less than 20 Shares. The following gentlemen are Agents authorised to receive applications for shares, viz.:— Joseph Newman, Auckland Alex.
