The Company is formed as an auxiliary to the
great Financial Associations recently established.
It is not the province of these Institutions, to carry out
1110 public works contemplated in the conressiona they ob-
tain. They are therefore compelled tr
J seek the co-opera-
tion of contractors whose capital ar,d position offer an un-
deniable guarantee for the cow:tiletion of the works, thus
relieving the financial as!oc4.ations of that responsibility.
The constantly increafe.ag scale on which public works of
all kinds are carried o'-,4 and the immense capital involved,
place them beyond 'die reach of individual contractors un-
less supported b; joint-stock enterprise.
This ...,ompuy has, therefore, been formed far the pur-
pose of undertaking the execution of great public works,
and arrangements have been entered into with well known
contractors, by which contracts to the amount of £11,000,000
sterling Will be turned over to the Company.
Among other contracts handed over to the Company is
that for the construction of the European Central Railway,
agile,' has been secured on favourable terms, and will be
cooinuenced forthwith.
The active services of an eminent Contractor, whose busi-
ness has been secured, will be retained to execut
e e work
on terms highly advantageous to the Company, he rheaning
a large interest in the Company by receiving payment for
the transfer of his contracts in Shares with £5 only credited
thereon.
It is well known that many undertakings of great com-
mercial value have hitherto remained in abeyance for want
of Contractors who can command the necessary resources to
ensure their completion. This Company, combining the in-
fluence of a large subscribed capital, extensive financial co-
operations at home and abroad, with administrative experi-
ence and ability, will secure such an amount of confidence
on the part of governments, public bodies, and the great
financial institutions, as will enable it to command an ex-
teu6ve business on favourable terms.
ation, may be obtained
