Railway and other Companies.

GLASGOW AND SOUTII-WESTERN.

The report of the directors states that £5,582,967
had been expended, including £163,034 on various
lines and works during the past half year. The sum
invested in the shares of other companies was
£363,500, making the total expenditure on capital
account to the 31st of July last £5,916,467. The
sum of £13,157 had been expended on the renewal
of the permanent way during the half year, of which
£lO,OOO had been charged against revenue. The
rolling stock had been efficiently maintained, and
considerable additions had been made to it during
the half year. Notwithstanding the unfavourable
state of the money market, the loans falling due
were renewed at 4/ per cent. interest. The average
rate of interest on the debenture debt was now £4
2s. od. per cent. The construction of a portion of
the line authorised by the " Ayrshire Lines Act,
1865," was being rapidly proceeded with, and the
directors proposed shortly to let the contract for a
further portion to complete the connection with the
main line at Mauchline, thus shortening the line
from Ayr to the south by upwards of 11 miles.
The junction with the Renfrew line at Paisley had
been opened for traffic, and the Paisley and Renfrew
railway having been relaid, and a second line of
rails added, trains now run direct between Glasgow
and Renfrew. The works on the Govan branch, the
joint property of the company and the Caledonian,
were being proceeded with, and it was anticipated
that it would be opened for traffic early next year.
The contractors were making satisfactory progress
with the works of the Glasgow Union Railway, and
the directors trusted that the Union Company would
be in a position to complete their line and stations
at an early period. The works of the Greenock
and Ayrshire Railway, in which this company was
so largely interested, were being vigorously pro-
ceeded with. The company were authorised in the
last Session of Parliament by one Act to carry out
the arrangement made with the Caledonian Com-
pany, and the promoters of the Ayr and Douglas
Railway, the capital authorised being £lOO,OOO by
shares, and £33,300 by loans; by the other Act
they were authorised to make certain improvements
on the Kilmarnock and Troon line, and the substi-
tution of bridges for level crossings in several cases,
the capital authorised being £26 by shares and
£8,600 by loans. The directors did not contem-
plate any application to Parliament for new works
or extension in the ensuing Session. The total
traffic receipts for the last half-year were £19,112
above those for the corresponding half of 1865.
The passenger traffic showed an increase of
£7,769, and the goods and mineral traffic an increase
of £10,203. The total receipts in the past half
year amounted to £290,153, and the total expendi-
ture to £120,061, leaving £170,092, to which was
added £5,151 surplus from the previous half year,
making £175,244. From this was deducted interest on
loans £27,691, leaving £147,553 available for divi-
dend. The dividend on the 5 per cent. perpetual
guaranteed stocks, Nos. 1 and 2, and on the May-
bole and Girvan 4 per cent. guaranteed stock ab-
sorbed £17,078, leaving a balance of £130,475, out
of which the directors recommended a dividend at
the rate of 7 per cent. per annum on the ordinary
and participating preference stocks and shares of
the company, carrying forward £3,351 to the credit
of next half-year's account. Mr. W. Johnstone,
the engineer, reported that the receipts for passen-
ger traffic per train mile amounted to 3s. 4d., and
the expenses to ls. 3d., showing a profit of 2s. 14d.
per train mile. The receipts for goods and minerals
amounted to 3s. 114 d. per train mile, and the ex-
penses to ls. 4i-d. per train mile, showing a profit
of 2s. 6:ld. per train mile.
