of
After a long course of laborious official inquiry, extending
over several years, as to the most effectual sanitary plan to be
adopted, the an Government Inally ameSW that upon
which the present concessions are based, upon the report of a
special Government Deputation cornmhaiOned to make a per-
sonal examination of the important sewage and main drainage
works of London and the suburbs. I
The original estimates for the principal part of these works
were examined and verified by Mr. J. W. Bazalgette, Engineer- 1
in-Chief to the Iletropolitan Board of Works of London, under !
the sanction of that body ; and these estimates have been further
tested by months of minute and careful revision on the part of
contractors and their respective engineers.
The contracts for the execution of the whole of the main drain-
age works, and the formation of the Boulevard, have been con-
chided with experienced and responsible Belgian contractors,
approved by the Belgian authorities, and who have placed at
the disposal of the Company sufficient guarantees for the due
performance of their engagements.
It is Intended that the whole of the works shall be completed
within four years.
The importance of the undertaking Is evidenced In the pro-
tracted °Metal debates in the Brussels Municipal CounciL and
also in the Belgian Chambers and Senate, on the subject, and by
the special report thereon from Lord Howard de alder, her
Majesty's Minister Plenipotentiary at Brussels, transmitted by
the Earl of Clarendon, through Sir George Grey, to the Metro-
politan Board of Werke, in London, and recorded In their
minutes under date of May 18, 1866, an extract of which Is I
annexed to this prospectus.
The late distinguished Monarch. Leopold 1., to whose wisdom
and sagacity Belgium is so deeply indebted, always manifested
the warmest intersst In these projected works ; and the reigning
Sovereign, his Majesty Leopold 11., after earnestly forwarding
every stage of the negotiation from its Inception, has further
testified his conclusive approval by having eopresased his desire
to inaugurate the works by laying the first stone in state cere-
mony, which is fixed to take place at Brussels, on Wednesday,
the thud of January next.
It will be at mice seen by this brief description of the conces-
Mon that it Is one of no ordinary character, whether It is con-
sidered in the importance of the work to be done—the govern-
mental identification with its success—the national character of
its object—and, the Directors believe they may fairly add with-
out entering into details ,which in a public statement they can-
uot do, from ita prospect of financial success.
The capital of the Company in fixed at 1350,000, in 35,000
'hares ,d s:10 each, divided into 25,000 A preference shares, and
10.000 II deferred shares.
The preference shares represent the capital to be subscribed
by the public for working out the concession ; and the deferred
shares are accepted by the concessionaires, in consideration of
the assignment by thou to the Company of the concession.
The privileges attached to the respective share capital are as
