This Company has been formed for the purpose of con-
structing a Canal Basin, with Wharves and Warehouses ad-
joining, in the immediate vicinity of the Victoria Railway
Bridge at Battersea.
The objects of the undertaking are two -fold : firstly, to
supply good Wharf and Warehouse accommodation to the
r•outh-western district of the Thames ; and seco idly, to ac-
commodate the traffic of the various railways which converge
to the point at which the Wharves will be situated.
The want of good whirl and warehoase accommod ition has
been long felt in this district, and still more severely since
the demolition of the Grosvenor Canal, by which a long line
of wat constructionga been made to disappear.
The of the Thames Embankment will also
swZep away not less than two and a half miles of Wharves,
and as a consequence almost entirely close up the water way
to the several Warehouses lying along its course.
The Railway Companies which will have access to the
Wharves are the following:—The Great Western, the Lon-
don and North Western, the Great Northern, the south
Western, the London, Brighton, and South Coast, the Lon-
don, Chatham, and Dover, and the Metropolitan.
The site selected for the Wharves is the only spot in the
metropolis where a large area of land abutting on t e Thames
can be obtained at a moderate cost. Nearly half the land re-
quired, viz , 26 acres, has already been purchased on favour-
able terms, and possession obtained, and it is proposed to
commence the works immediately.
The Canal Basin, wnen completed, will present a water
frontage of over 9,000 feet; and bet. gformed so as to be made
available twice in each day, Coasters, Barges, and Canal
Boats will receive the greatest dispatch in loading and un-
loading, and always be able to work afloat.
The tariffs of charges have been arranged upon a firm basis,
and the direct sources of revenue to be derived from the esta-
blishment of the proposed works will be—
Canal and Dock Dues,
Rental from W -carves and Warehouses,
Charges for Loa ling and Unloading, &c.
From the most careful estimates of the results anticipated,
no doubt can be entertained that the Company's operat ons
will produce a highly remunerative return.
The works have been let to responsible Contractors, who
have undertaken to complete them in two ye. rs from the
date of commencement, and to pay 7 per cent. interest upon
the paid-up capital during their construction, and for twelve
months after their completion.
Prospectuses and Forms of Application for Shares may be
obtained from the Bankers, Brok. rs, Solicitor, or Secretary
to the Company, at the Offices, 3. Bridge-street, Westmins-
ter; and at the Offices of the International Contract Com-
pany, 85, Cannon-street West, E.C.
