The Company was originally projected for the purpose of acquiring blocks of good suburban land, to be re-sold in lots suitable for residence sites, and recently, with the view of adding to the value of their lands, by affording greater facilities of access, the Provisional Directors haTe entered into arrangements for providing a system of TRAMWAYS for the CITY and BUBUBBS. An agreement has been made with the City C uncil by which the Company ha« secured the EXCLUSIVE BIGrHT TO CONSTRUCT AND WORK SUCH TRAM"WATS FOR A PERIOD OF TWENTYONE YKABS, and the terms of the concession leave no room to doubt that the undertaking will he advantageous to the community and profitiible to the proprietors. The properties already purchased consist of several blocks of choice land, comprising the St. Helper's Bay Estate of 620 acres, the Bemuera Land Company's Estate of 117 acre?, and the Northeote Estate of 1012 acres, amounting in all to 1749 acres, the whe le beirg admirably adapted for villa sites, combining the ndvantages of extensive frontage to the WitUemata Harbour, picturesque scenery, and soil of excellent quality, together with proximity to the city. The sales already effected have averaged £200 per acre in Remuera, and £120 at St. Heller's, and land adjacent to the Northeote Estate has been recently sold at £100 per acre. The Directors call special attention to the ?reat increase of value which has resulted from the construction of Tramways, in suburban districts in other places, amounting in some caees to ten times the original cost, and a: the Company's lands were purchased before any provision of the kind bad been made, it is reasonable to anticipate a similar favorable result in the present instance. It is intended to prooeed with the construction of the lines already agreed upon as soon as the necessary materials can be obtained, the Company having agreed to open the traffic and have care running WITHIN EIGHTEEN MONTHS from date of concession.

The Directors have secured the services of a gentleman of large experience in the practical working of tramways ia the British Islands, and can confidently recommend the enterprise to their fellow-colonists, in the full conviction that it will prove a gcd investment. Applications bare been received for 65,000 Shares, leaving 60,000 still to be taken up. Plans of the several Estates may be seen, and all other information regarding Articles of Aeeociation, &c, may be obtained on application to the Secretary, at the Company's Office, Shortland Street, Auckland. Applications for Shares, accompanied by a dep. eit of two shillings and sixpence per Share, will be received by the members of the Auckland Brokers' Association, or by the Secretary, up to the 21st day of August, 1882, and shares will be allotted according to the priority of application.
