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
the public works contemplated in the concessions they ob-
tain. They are therefore compelled to seek the co-opera-
tion of contractors whose capital and position offer an un-
deniable guarantee for the completion of the works, thus
relieving the financial associations of that responsibdity
of
.
The constantly increasing scale on which public works
all kinds are carried out, and the immense capital involved,
place them beyond the reach of individual contractors un-
less supported by joint-stock enterprise.
This iompany has, therefore, been formed fer the
works,
-
pose of undertaking the execution of gt public
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,
'Which has been secured on favourable terms, and will be
Commenced forthwith.
The active services of an eminent Contractor, whose busi-
ness has been secured, will be retained to execute the work
on terms highly advantageous to the Company, he retaining
a large interest in the Company by receiving payment for
the transfer of his contracts in Shares with S 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 en ex-
tensive business on favourable terms.
Prospectuses, with forms of application, may be obtained
at the Offices of the Company, also from the Brokers, Soli-
citors, and Bankers.
In the event of no allotment being made the deposits will
be returned in full. Should a less number of shares be
allotted than are applied for, the deposits will be made
available towards the payment on allotment, and the
balance, if any, returned to the applicant.
