ABRIDGED peosracms.

The circumstances under which tub•criptlons are now Invited
by this Company, to a further issue of capital, are pecnlisalv
favourable for inventors, and present the strongest evidence of
the sound and profitable character of the undertaking, to com-
plete which an additional outlay Is requited.
As they are now planned. and being constructed. the comets
will, when completed according to the estimates of many etigi-
Rears meet competent to judge, includlog Colonel Mundell and
UM present chief engineer of the Company, convey water for the
Irrigation of about 700.000 acres.
Adopting a temporary reduced rate of charge for Irrigation, and
estimating the returns from navimition at the very moderate total
of 3 per cent. upon the outlay the present chief engineer has just
reported that he estimates the retort., upon the tidal canal will

rent. for repaint, maintenance, establishment, ttc., the
1,4 ndorns from the sections bow to he eompleted would he
sltogether lit per cent., which, by the re.mtabliahment of the
uric Taal rate of five rupees per acre for Irrigation, would be made
lop to 71 per cent. net.
These are figure, the accuracy of which can be easily
dene.e,drated, and any inquiry made regerding them at the
'a Offices will be at once replied to, and every Infonna-
te.r...o*en.

tion. and therefore of a satisfactory Increase upon the existing
