The of of the Company are—fret, to construct a railway
about nine miles In length from the "Ohl Port” of Marseilles
to Poilestat, to afford increased facilities for the commerce awl
manufsctures of the town and port ; secondly, to acquire land
on both soles of tho line throughout ita length, for building an
other rurpors, to w'lielt great tome will be given by them con-
struction of the railway.
The reputation of Marseilles us the first maritime ci'y of
France is well known ; sewn,' only to Paris in population and
wealth, its position and ropabilities giro It the command of
French commerce in the Mediterranean.

Within the lea Dopier Marseilles tow been placed to direct
railway comnittnleation with Parts and all parts of France :
magnificent docks and warehouse. have been constructed, but
great and rapist as these new works have been, they are stia
far behind the requlremehts of its veer-Met:miming trade.
The old ynarters et the town are being demolished to make
room for handsome .treets and public buildings. The population
thus displaced are driven to suburbs, niiire especially towards
the south, where the lands of the Company are situate, aad
where a lite valley stretches from the town to the ileiliterrancan,
with a view of the sea, and open to the retie-Ablaut breezes, winch
during theaummer afford the only relief from the miens' heat
of the city.
The enormous value of ground to the town may be estimated
by the fact, that for any intension, rocks 00 feet high have to be
cleared away to glee sites for banding: it will be readily nailer-
stood that such a locality ts no longer suited for the erection of
ordinary ilwelltnp, or tsetse:Ma and chemical works, which
latter, for sanitary reasons, will 800111 be driven from the city.
The proposed railway, after leaving the port and towu of
300000 inhabitants, will pass through the southern suburb,
which contains a population of bO,OOO, and follow the valley to
the sea, at the "Ilactrague de Montredon:" from thence It will be
continued for throe miles along the coast to Podestat, affording
sites for the erection of factories. with access to the sea, and
direct Tulle ay communication with the town and port, and with
the Paris, Lyons, and ilediterranean lines, by a junction with
the proposed new branch of the latter to the " Place castellane."
There are at the present time see factories an the town, emi
ploying nearly 10,000 workmen. and the umber of factories
would rapidly increase, were it fait for the heavy Charge.

occupied, and the want of direct railway conneston with the
port, and with the Paris, Lyons, and Mediterranean lines. lie
proprietors of these establishment. will gladly avail themselves
of the opportunity of disposing of thetr present alms to great
advantage, and removing to a locality combining the facilities
of s a and railway communitatOn, with perfect freedom from

paid for building ground In the town.
In order to form an opinion of the pecnntary results of the
prop ised operations of the Company, It will be desirable to con-
sider septrat eta: the income to 1.• derived from the railway, snit
the profit to be realised by the sale of the land of the Company.
First, with reference to the railway it must lie observed. that
the existing Itte.s are connected with the new port "Joliette"
and the Do. kg. lint that the .do port, which is Si acres in extent,

But in addition to this the new port "Joliette" received and sent
oil 1,159,0.14 teas of merchandise In 1883 by 5,3;3 steamers, on
account of the faelliters afforded by the r 'Brays and dock..
It is evident from these returaa that a railway to the old pert
must wore a very large ammed of goods Willie. and from the
population of the suburban district through which the Use will
pass, and the number of factorial, see, already es.ablaheel in
that locality, It is calculated that the railway will produce au
home date profit revenue equal to 15 per cent. on the outlay,
which income will be rapidly inereued by the erection of holl3d,
anal factnriks along the line. There will be seven intermediate
stations between Marseilles and voileetat, one of which will be
for the race course " and the public gardens," and chateau
Borelly."
Tie Intensity have contract el for the execution of the works
of the railway from the "Place Castellani," to "Porlestat,” et the
price of £1i5,040.
Secontby, with reference to the profit to be reallsei by the
sale of the laud of the Company, it may be etatod that all pre-
vious speculations In land at Marseilles hare bean summed.
The Company have contracted for the purchase of about.
1,200,000 square metrie of laud (about 300 English acme),
situate on both sides of the proposed railway, between the
town and the •• Madrague de Montrodon ;" 140.000 metres of
which will lea required Int the construction of the line and eta-
[lens, leaving 1,e110,000 metres to be sold for the erection of
Oat-class residences.
It has been estimated by competent judges of the value of
bulldiug sites la the neighbouthood of Ilerselliee, that on the
complecon of the railway the whole of tide lend will be readily
sold at the price of at least 24 francs per metre, at which rate It
will produce 21,e00,000 francs. or eett,ooo.
The Company have also contracted for the purchase of a very
lame tract of ground beyond the •• Matinee° le Montredon,"
throe* which the railway will pee to Pothistat ; I,6uteuoo
metres (about 33 acres) of this lend, adjoining both sea and rail-
way. will be at once available as (rites for factories and works of
all kind&
Esti eating the selling price of this land at 10 francs per metre,
a sum soleciently low to Induce the manufacturers to establish
their worse rapidly in the locality, it will produce a stun of
le,too,oeo franca, or £OOO.OOO.
The eventris cosh cost to the Company of the land ahc.ve re-
ferred to u only 11i francs per metre, tael adios the hones already
built thereon, and including also upwards of 10,000,001 metres
of land (about 2,500 acme) on the molt line for three milts be-
yond the proposed terminus as Podestet, which will thus be
acquired by tile Company free of cost, and which will be male
available as some future time by an exteudon of the railway end
the formal km of roads.
An simple supply of water, which !a inlispeetable at Marseille*,
frith for houses and land, rail be obtained from the existing
works, which have cost the inuntelpahty more than 00,000,005
of francs.
The additional capital required for the payment of land will
be raised in debentures, to be repaid out of the produce of the
laud sales,
The practical bearing of the lend qaestien is as follow,
Assenting the sale of the land at the low prices named, the
prattle arising therefrom will not only repay the whole cost of
the railway. but lu sedition there will remit' a very large
surplus for I.llVItllOll. as bonus amouvit the shareholders.
