ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.
The object of this Company is to acquire and work as one con-
solidated undertaking two separate Sletropolitan Tramways,
incorporated under special Acts of Parliament passed in the
two last sessions, whereby they are empowered to construct
and work Tramways in nearly all the main thoroughfares on the
south side, and extending to Victoria Station, Pimlico, on the
north side of the Thames.
The returns from the working of the first opened section of
the lines chew a net return at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum
on the capital expenditure. The only other experience of
Tram working in London shows a net profit at the rate of
12 per cent.

Street Tramways, although but little known in this country,
have been in very profitable operation for many years in most
of the large cities of America and Canada, and also on the Conti-
nent of Europe, in St. Petersbtugh, Vienna, Brussels, Copen-
hagen, &c., paying dividends generally of not less than 10 per
cent. on the Capital invested, and the shares command good
premiums. With the easy gradients in the Metropolis (a most
important item in the economy of working), and by the judicious
administration which experience has brought to bear, there can
be no doubt that Tramways will prove highly profitable here.
Important extensions of the existing lines are being applied
for, the benefit of which will be made over to this Company.
The Acts of Incorporation and the Agreement for Amalga-
mation and Articles of Association can be inspected at the
Offices of the Solicitors to the Company. The Agreement is
dated the oth day of December, 1870, and the names of the
parties to it are as follows :—The Metropolitan Street Tramways
Company and the Pimlico, Peckham, and Greenwich Street
Tramways Company of the first part, John Foulston Bunt on be-
half of this Company then intended to be formed of the
second part, and certain Shareholders of the Phnlico, Peckham,
and Greenwich Street Tramways Company of the third part.
Application for Shares may be made to the Bankers. Pros-
pectuses with a Map and Forms of Application can be obtained
of the-Brokers, and at the Offices of the Coinpany. ,
