The committee for the formation of a railway between Inverness
td Nairn. hold themselves justified in submitting the scheme to
e Pu'dic at this time, as being of great importance to the locality,
7 lell towards the full bemefic of through railway communication
01.1!
the Northern Count,es, and as affording a we 1-ground-d as-
.rance of proving a remuner -dive in-estmen for capital.
The futile and populous district ahi It it is pronosed to intersect
tewlnrises the seaport and market towns of Inverness and Nairn,
eeveral villages at which important markets are held, the Ferries
4gXessock and Chanon•y, the Military station of Fort George, ani
e Basin and Quays of the Caledonian canal.
The committee would also call attention to the fact that upon
this district converge of hecessity the maul lines of communication
vetween the North and West, and the East and South of Scotland ;
and th..t the proposed line must form a common centre and conne,t-
-!R link in all future development whatsoever of the railway system
.
"Lrclighout the Northern Counties.
The length of the ling will be Is% miles, and it is proposed at first
to lay down a single line of ra.ls; but the Lint to be purchased and
badges constructed tor a double line.
COST AND TIME OF COMPLETION.
With recrankto the expense of construction, it is enottah to state
that the line has been examined by Mr. Falshaw, of Perth, and a
Joint offer has been re, steel from Mr. Brassey, the emdvmt railway
contractor, and Mr. Fatahaw, to complete the entire railway, with
Works and stations, within ten months after the passive of the act,
