A Bill ertibracing the proposed objects of the present Company was
before the last Parliament, when, after passing the Standing Orders
and the first and second reading, it was submitted to the Select
Committee on the Metropolis Water Supply. The Government and
the other Bills occupied the attention of the Committee till the latter
end of May, when this 11111 was called on, and the evidence gone
into ; but from the improbability of being able to pass the Bill through
the Delise of Lords in that Parliament, and in order to avoid large
and useless expenditure, by the advice of Counsel, it was withdrawn,
upon the understanding that the same measure would be proceeded
with in the next Parliament.
The Metropolis Water Bill passed last Session removes all uncer-
tainty as to the extent of interference by the Legislature with regard
to Water Companies, thereby enabling the Promoters of this Under-
taking to frame their measures to meet all the requirements of the
New Ac', and likewise to offer to the capitalist a perfectly secure
means of investment.
The Water of the River Wandle has long been celebrated for its
great purity, and its recent analysis by eminent chemists, fully con-
firm the high character given to it by the late Mr. Telford and Dr.
Rostock, in their examination by the Government Commissioners on
Water hupply.
Every Householder South of the Thames paying Water Rates, is
aware of the high charge for the present inferior and insufficient
supply. The proposed rates of this Company will be upon a much
lower scale. It will thus be evident that upon the point of economy
alone. they must command the preference ot consumers; but when
the purity ot the water is considered, and that the aupply will be
censtent and unlimited, all competition will necessarily be su-
perseded.
ough inordinate profits are not contemplated by the Com-
pany, yet it is firmly believed. looking at the vast extent of the
t-urrey District, and the daly Increase of buildings there, that the
present undertaking oN ill afford an immediate, sound, and steady
investment for capital. with every prospect that the maximum di-
vidend, new aPowe.l by the Legislature, namely, 101 per cent., will
be speedily attained ; proposals having already been made by large
consumers, to take several millions of gallons daily.
After payment of the Deposit, no call will be made until an Act
be obtained, in which it will be provided that no Call shall exceed
1/. per Share, or be made at more frequent intervals than three
months.
Applications for Shares to be made to the Brokers; or to the
Secretary, at the Offices of the Company, No. 28, Cornhill, where
the plans and models of Mr. Thompson's SUBTERRANEOUS RESER-
vorns may be seen, and detailed information obtained.
