for the mineral and manufacturing districts of South Staffordshire,
tl►ropshire, and North and South Wales. This proposed lino does
not Interfere with any existing railways, and presenting, as it does,
an unbroken line between two great centres of traffic, the importance
of the undertaking needs no further comment.
Negotiations have been entered into with the Eastern Ceun-
ties Railway Company, by which their support and co-operation win
be ensured for obtaining the line now Ooposed.
An arrangement has also been made with the proposed Rugby,
Warwick, and Worcester Company, which this line will join at Al-
cester, and by means of which the Eastern Counties' traffic will pro-
ceed to Worcester.
Power will be reserved to the Directors to amalgamate with any
other existing or projecting Companies, or to vary the line.
