The most important features in this undertaking are the
following :
First—That twenty miles of near y are already open
for traffic, and eight more are nearly coMpleted.
Sceond—That about two-thirds of the Company's capital
being provided by the Nassau Covernment i Four per
Cent, bonds, every one pound per cent. added to the net re-
salts of the traffic above four per cent. will add three per
cent, to the dividend payable on the share capital ; and
Third- That a dividend of at least seven per cent, per an-
num is thug secured to the shareholders during construction.
14(The Nassau Railways will continue the Frankfort and Wies•
.1 and the Wiesbaden and Rudesheim Lines from Rudes-
nelm to the frontier of Prussia, opposite Goblentz. As the
Cologne Railway already open to Bonn and Rolaudsworth is
being rapidlY completed to Coblentz, the line of railway com-
munication between Cologne and Frankfort will thus be com-
pleted by the Nassau Company,
The annual traffic between these two points considerably
exceeds 1,000,000 passengers and 1,000,000 tens of goods.
The ofhoial traffic tables show that, taking only the present
traffic in the La.lin Valley, and one-fourth of the traffic along
the Ithine, the receipts of the Nassau RailwayCioimdpetiandyefwllsl
suffice, on this moderate estiniate, to secure a dividend
