N‘Th PROSPECTUS.
"the tr"l we look to the vast population, and consider the eminence,
inter ado, the enterprise, the great manufacturing and commercial
that of this metropolis, it becomes a matter of no little surprise
tat, Test active means have not, long since, been taken to ob-
)00,,:lote ter supply of water, and to get rid of the mud-and-water
.01 ly.tobich has so grievously existed for many years past.
Unt,;,.."!?hJeet is one upon which so much has been said, and such
ou,_?al complaints made, that it is altogether unnecessary to
hi4iuirrn the crying evil, or to offer a single remark beyond that
endued so self-evident to every disinterested and dispas •
si°eate
or mind.Pa
Itivar the
,_ eight companies supplying London with water, the New
Stid,ero the most extensive. it was constructed by Sir Hugh
Dublie Nvere at an expenseted of about 150,000/. in 1834, the
much exci in consequence of badth water supplied,
maneraarli enentary inquiry on the subject took place, and Commis-
that th were appointed. From the evidence then given it apeared
other CompaniesAlthoughCompany paid an enormous bonus (300 per
_ on tho paid-up capital) yearly to the shareholders, there was
..Dalance of 157,206/. 103. 6d. remaining, which is more than the ori-
final cost of construction. The average number of houses supplied
n 1834, accordinu to the minutes of evidence, was 196,492, at the
annual value of 276,2001„ about 11. 10s. yearly per house. Pure
'Water can be supplied for one-third that sum, and leave a profit, to
the capitalist who invests in this speculation, more enormous than
that of the New River Company.
Hence the opportunity has presented itself for the formation of a
Company for the supply of pure water at an inconsiderable outlay,
and upon those sure and unerring principles of Artesian Springs
which have been so generally adopted on the Continent—unfailing
And uccessfully established to the satisfaction of the most sceptical
individuals.
With reference to supplying London with pure spring water, let it
be understood, that the surface of chalk on which London is built re-
ceives and retains rain on an average of twenty-one inches per an-
num. This chalk-bed or.basin has an extent 'of 12,000 square miles.
Each square mile contains, allowing one-third for evaporation, no less
than 3,208,228 hogsheads of water per annum, or on a hundred square
nines, one-twelfth of the surface, 320,822,800 hogsheads. The snpply
et water last year by the different companies was 314,553,012 hogs-
heads. Thus the London bed is capable of supplying more than I
twelve times the quantity needed, sufficient for all the towns inGreat 1
Britain and Ireland.
, So certain and conclusive have been the experiments tried, that
the most successful result has attended every instance in procuring
'water upon the principle stated.
The metal pipes, as now used by the London Water Companies
Will net be adopted by the United Kingdom Artesian Water Com-
l'anY. Glass, and some such tubes as cannot be corroded, will only
ee in use. The recent repeal of the duty on glass and porcelain
Make such pipes cheaper than metal.
Shareholders shall be protected front all responsibility beyond the
itetual amount of shares taken.
All applications for Shares must be addressed to the Secretary of
the United Kingdom Artesian Water Company, at the Office, East
•Lndla Chambers, Leadenhall-street, City, London.
