ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.
The general scheme and objects proposed to be embraced
by this Company may be thus described, viz. :—The con-
struction, maintenance, management, and working of
such works of irrigation, water transit, and water sup-
ply in India, with their auxiliary undertakings as may,
from time to time, be found to be of a profitable character,
after the necessary sanction of Government has been secured
to each project.
The works selected for first operations, and intended to
be immediately entered upon, have been examined by en-
gineers of the highest attaintments and Indian experience,
who urgently recommended them for construction by Go-
vernment as being, in their opinion, amongst the most
=portant, and in promise the most profitable of their
character in India.
These works will consist of : _ _

Firstly,—lrrigating and Navigable Canals, with all sub-
sidiary works throughout the rich and extensive alluvial
Deltas of Orissa and the adjoining districts, receiving their
supply from the copious and never-failing waters of three
great rivers, the Mahanuildy, the Byturny, and the Brah-
many, which, with their affluents, intersect and command
.the trade and commeice of countries, together much larger
in extent than England and Wales, and abounding in
agricultural and mineral wealth. The land in Orissa alone,
capable of being thus affected, is estimated to amount to
about 2,000,000 acres.
Secondly,—A main Irrigating and Navigable Canal, con-
necting the above works and districts with the port and city
of Calcutta, starting from Balasore and passing by Midna-
poor to the Hoogly River, opposite to Calcutta, with all
subsidiary channels necessary to irrigate about 2,500,000
acres of good land contained in the surrounding country.
The present Secretary of State for India, in Council,
in March last, addressed to the Government of India
as official communication calling attention to the im-
portance of constructing these works, and stating that her
Majesty's Government were prepared to carry them into
effect as soon as the plans and estimates were approved by
the local Government. A desire to see an unguaranteed
Company established led, however, he states, to their con-
ession to this Company.
The main sources of profit will be :
Firstly.—The sale of water to the Government for the
irrigation of land.
Secondly.—Tolls levied in respect of the use of the Canals
and Water-ways by the public.
To these may be added as available but subsidiary means
f a Iditional returns :-
I.—The working of the Canals by the Company by the
conveyance of Passengers, Animals, and Goods thereon.
2.—Rent and other income derived from mills and factories
established on the banks of the various channels.
3.—Cultivation and sale of timber and other produce
raised upon the land of the Company. And,
4.—The supply of water for general purposes.
Although these latter are now put forth as secondary
only, they should by no means be lost sight of—the first of
them has been already ascertained to be highly productive
in India, and by the official accounts of the existing Canals
in the North-western provinces of Bengal the profits derived
from mills, timber, and bank produce, represent a large per
tentage upon outlay.
It is proposed to limit the issue of capital in the first in-
stance, to the sum of £1,000,800, divided into .50,000 shares
of £2O each, and to take a first deposit of LI per share
Only, with a further payment of £1 per share when the
final agreement has been concluded ; this will, it is believed,
suffice to support effective operations for the first twelve
months. Of all subsequent calls, full and timely notice
Will be given to each shareholder.
In the allotment of shares, preference will be given to
those applicants who are shareholders in the Madras Irri-
gation and Canal Company, to the extent of the number of
shares held by them in that company, and all future issues
of shares in England will be distributed pro rata amongst
such of the then existing shareholders in the present com-
pany as may be desirous of taking them.
A full Prospectus and form of applications for shares may,
now be had upon request at the Company's Offices, 27, Can-
non•street, E.C., London; or at the Company's Bankers,
Messrs. Ransom, Bouverie, and Co., 1, Pall-Mall East.
