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-1
hitherto exclusively conducted by private contractors.
The large fortunes whca have been realised by them. not-
withstanding obvious disadvantages, sufficiently attest the
soundness and value of this enter, rise.
It is admitted that, in many instances, the terms upon
Which lone ontra tars, even of known position and wealth,
are enabled to raise the necessary funds for carrying taeir
Iperations into effect : re so onerous that it is only by profits
°I extraordinary magnitude that milt charoes can be met ;
and it follows that a Company having a large capit I sub-
scribed by a wealthy proprietary, and with an able executive,
Would enjoy great advantages and, at tee same time, fre-
"S .tly afford im ortant 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
'Don its unpaid capital at rates which would be small as corn-
tared with those charged to snb-contractors. It is not con-
.CholPlated. therefore. to call up any considerable portion of
c pital unless the operations et the Company capital
to be des' rat le The security of a large subs riled
Will necessarily' *inspire confidence on the part of Govern-
Financial Companies, and others with whom the
'tnpany may have to deal

lo
