1. This Company has been constituted as an auxiliary to
the " Contract Corporation."
2. The Company will undertake the construction of Rail-
ways and o her public works as die ineu.shed from the busi-
ness of the Contract Corporation, which consists principally
of the negotiation and acceptance of contracts, 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 business and interest on highly ad-
vantageous terms; all their valuable plant and existing
contracts (including that for the construction ot 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 thereon.
5. The numerous applications to Parliament in the present
session for powers to c ‘nstru .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 fer
the profitable 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 finano'al corporation, coupled with the experience
an I superintendence ot parties conver,ant with the praAical
details of the business, with an identity of interest, the pros-
'nets of the Company are such as are seldom brought under
publi 3 notice,
7. In the event of no allotment of shares being made. the
deposit will be returned 'n toll. Should a less number of
shares be allotted than are applied for, the deposit will be
made available towards the payment on allotment, and the
balance, if any, returned to the applicant. Prospectuses and
forms of ant Heat on for s area may be obtained at the oft Les
of the Company, of the Brokers, and of the Solicitors.
