undertaking Company has been constituted fo.r the purpose of
21.ciertaking the execution and construction of railwaya and
ner works both at home and abroad, a class of business
4,therto exclusively conducted by private co ,tractors.
41'he large fortunes which have been realised by them. not-
', thstanding obvious disadvantages, sufficiently attest the
Soundness and value of this enter, rise.
It is admitted that, in many instances, the terms upon
Which „lone contraltors, even of known position and wealth,
are enabled to raise the necessary funds for carrying their
('aerations into effect are so onerous that it is only by profits
Of extraordinary magnitude that such charees can De met ;
and it follows that a Company having a large capital sub-
scribed by a wealthy proprietary, and with an able executive,
Would enjoy 2reat advantages and, at the same time, fre-
quently afford im:.crtant aid to the individual contractor.
The sub-lettings of contracts are known to be an important
source of profit. In addition to this the Company will pos-
sess the advantage of raising funds upon debentures secured
tip its unpaid capitil at rates which would be small as com-
pared with these charged to sub-contractors. It is not con-
l',nplated. therefore. to call up any considerable portion of
c pital, unless the operations of the Company may show
!,.to be des'rable. The security of a large subvribed capital
va' necessarily inspire confidence on the part of Govern-
Tents, Financ,al Companies, and others with whom the
"repany may have to deaL
In the event of no allotment being made the deposits will
ye returned in lull. Should a less number of shares be al-
