This Company has been constituted for the purpose of
undertaking the execution and construction of railway. and
other works both at home and abroad, a class of business
hitherto exclusively conducted by private contractors.
The large fortunes which have been realised by them. not-
withstanding obvious disadvantages, sufficiently attest the
soundness and value of this enters rise.
It is admitted that, in many instances, the terms upon
Which alone contractors, even of known position and wealth,
are enabled to raise the necessary funds for carrying their
operations into effect ire so onerous that it is only by profits
of extraordinary magnitude that Buell charges can be met ;
and it follows that a Company having a large capital sub-
scribed by a wealthy proprietary, and with an able executive,
'would enjoy great advantages and, at the same time, fre-
Two tly afford im,ortant aid to the individual contractor.
The sub-lettings of contracts are known to bean important
source of profit. In addition to this the Company will pos-
sess the advantage of raising funds upon debentures secured
upon its unpaid capital at rates which would be small as com-
lared with those charged to snb-contractora. It is not con-
rjaplated, therefore, to call up any considerable portion of
It to be
"tie c pita, unless the oprationsof a large subs rihed 4.f the Compan may show
des raole. The security capital
Will necessarily inspire confidence on the part of Govern-
Itients, Financtal Compsnies, and others with whom the
