he Provisional Directors feel it necessary to inform the Sub-
the rs that they have deemed it advisable to alter the terminus of

ofrgh Rochester, Canterbury, and other large towns in the county
fiKent, and thus connect the metropolis with Ramsgate in a
ner most advantageous to the public.
/le opinion of a Committee of the House of Commons on the
ttZP°sed line is fully expressed in their report to the House, which
of s that "it appears to be a line which, as connecting the port

Ivied to make Ramsgate the terminus of their line ; and they do
as fider a firm conviction that its growing importance as a harbour,
