This Company du been constituted fee the rpe
ossteof under.
takbig the executtua and comeirectkm of jai ways end sliver
works, both at home and abroad—a class at Waimea iltbitate
inclusively conducted by private contractors.
The large fortunes which have been realised by them notwith-
standing obvious dioadvaatagar, al:anciently attest the soundness
and vane of this enterprise.
It is admitted that, in many instances, ths tonne upon which,
alone, contractors even of known position and wealth areena-
bled to raise the necessary funds for carrying their operations
Into effect are so onerous, that it Is only by pronto of extraordi-
nary magnitude that such charges can be met; and It follows that
• company, having a large capital. subscribed by a wealthy pro.
prietary, and with an able executive, would enjoy great advan-
tage., and, at the same time, frequently afford important aid to
the Individual coetractor.
The sub-lettings of contracts are known to be an important
source of profit. Is addition to this the Company will posses
the advantage of raising funds upon debentures secured upon its
unpaid capital at rates which would be small as compared with
those charged to sub-contracto s. It Is not contemplated,
therefore. to call up any considerable portion of the capital
maces the operations of the Company my show it to be desirable.
The security of a large subscribed capital will necessarily Inspire
confidence on the part of Governments, Financial companies,
and others with whom the Company may have to deal.
In the event of no allotment being made the deposits will be
returned in full. Should • less number of shard be allotted than
are applied for, the deposit will be made available towards the
payment on allotment, and the balance, if any, returned to the
apg‘speccantiuses and forms of applications for shares may be
obtained at the ounces of the Company ; of the Broken , and of
the Solicitor,.
