I. This Company has been constituted as an auxiliary to
the " Contract Corporation."
2. The Company will undertake the construction cf Rail-
ways and o her public works as die u shed I it,,m the bu4i-
ness of the Contract Corporation, which consists principally
of the negotiation and acceptance of contrasts, and the finan-
cial measures connected therewith.
3 The two Companies will work in harmony, but inde-
pendently of each other.
4. The opera ions of this Company will be conducted by the
eminent contractors Messrs. Smith and Knight, who have
transferred their whole bu-iness and interest on hi_ hly ,d-
-vantageous terms; all their valuable plant and existing
contracts (including that for the construction of the Royal
Sardinian Railway recently entered into) being ceded to the
Company. The plant will be paid for in cash, and the re-
maining interest principally in shares, such shares being
taken with £5 only per share credited hereon.
5. The numerous applications to Parliament in the present
se4sion for powers to c tnstru.t branch and ad itional rail-
ways, and the well-known increasing demand for railways
and other public works, not only in Europe and the colonies.
but in all parts of the civilised world, open a wide field for
the prcfitahle employment of capitaL
6. The Direc ors consider that, wi h all the elements of
success, viz., a large working capital, the assistance of a
powerful financ:al corporation, c mpled with the experience
an I superintendence of parties conversant with the practical
details of the badness, with an identity of interest, the pros-
pects of the Company are such as are seldom brought under
public notice,
7. In the event of no allotment of shares being made, the
deposit will be returned an full. Should a less number of
shares be allotted than are applied for, the deposit will he
made available towards the payment on allotment, and the
balance, if any, returned to the applicant. Prospectuses and
