ornitiiimication with Goole and the shipping ports of the Humber.
It will also forin a foils of communication with the several .dre-
jected lines, to the rising port of Great Grimsby.
It Is a remarkable feature in this lbw, that there is no competing
scheme, nor does it at all interfere with any ornamental or residen-

It is not considered essential to enter into the details of traffic ; the
value of the lines in the district, in that respect, is a sufficient test of
its extent, in addition to which, the railway will become the recipient
of much :of the northern traffic, arising from the numerous branches
with which it :is connected, and mus: also become the Grand Trunk
Line-to London from the Western part of Yorkshire.
By the Subscribers' Agreement, authority will be given to the Di-
rectors to enter into such arrangements with existing Companies
as may appear to them expedient.
A preference will be given in the allotment to the shareholders in
the adjacent lines, which fact, with particulars, must be stated in
their applications.
