The proposed line front Waterford to Kilkenny is 92 English
b‘:
stations
C ,
n,
4:.engtle. The total cost, including outlay for stock,
will not exceed 8,0001. per mile.
It Will be
perceived that the line is intended to meet the pro-
,eetrd •
g branch of the Great Western Railway from Gloucester to
guard (the South Wales line), and that it must necessarily
Na,lrland a great portion of the traffic from the West of England ;
""1 if extended to Dublin, will constitute Waterford one of the
,
""tait Important ports of the empire.
?ewer will be taken for the further extension of the line to the
481sabbli. M. etropolis, in the event of such a measure being deemed ad-
,. The port of Waterford can be entered at all times of the tide by
'heels of 1,800 tons. The export trade of Waterford and the
t
,r,aft ebetween Waterford and Kilkenny are considerable, and are on
the increase.
thlhe exPort of Waterford in 1835, according to the Report of
0 Irish Railway Commissioners, amounted to the value of
es
1e1,24/., and the imports prent tbe
are represented represented by theto 274
local autshoritiesAt to extmed two
and the imports one million and a half.
At least one-third of the experts from Waterford may be pre-
Ili
lined to pass through the county of Kilkenny, and this traffic
Z 414 necessarily receive a great stimulus by the construction of
T▪ ne of rapid communication with the interior of the country.
ilk "0 Probability of a remunerative retukt from a railway opening
tnr.a CCIMEDUDICRIIOII between Waterford Rd Kilkenny, with a view
'ti future extension to Dublin, will be enhanced by the adoption
7' the econom:cal principle upon which it has been determined to
Loestruct the line, which insures a reduction of at least 30 per
v"1: on the primary investment.
he necessary plans and surveys, with all other preliminary ar.
is2eluents, will be ready, so as to apply to Parliament for a Bill to
4.7rPerate the Company early in the ensuing session ; and into-
the at the rate of 41. per cent. will be allowed to subscribers on

dtposits, until the railway is completed.
