The Directors of the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction
Railway Company, baying completed the whole of their arrange-
ments, and having been compelled to refuse at least three-fourths of
the applications for shares in their line, have had their attention
forcibly and repeatedly called to the necessity of a direct communi-
cation between Salisbury and Swindon, the station on the Great
Western Railway, by which the most direct and remunerative cat•
flexion will be formed between Southampton and Manchester.
The advantages, in point of speed, to be derived from the broad
gauge, as al•o the superiority of the gradients obtained by the rout(
of the Valey of the Avon, together with the importance of placing the
city of Salisbury on the main trnnk line from the north to South-
ampton, must insure to this undertaking the sanction of the Legis-
lature and the local support of the towns and districts through which
the line will pass.
Besides fo•-miag a direct communication with the great manufac-
turing twits in the north, the Salisbury and Swindon Extension will
make a complete line of railway between Southampton, Salisbury,
and all parts of North and South Wales.
After most mature deliberation, the Directors have resolved to re-
commend to their shareholders and the public the immediate carry-
ing out of a railway to effect the above object, which will be most
desirable as a completion to their own line, and highly advantageous
in a pecuniary sense and on public grounds. They have directed all
the necessary surveys to be made, so as to apply. to Parliathent in
the ensuing session, at the same time as the Wilts, Somerset, are'
Southampton Junction Railway, with a view to the ultimate amal•
gamation of both lines under one management.
In the allotment of shares, preference will be given to the holders
of the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction Railway shares,
as also to parties locally interested, due regard being at the same
time had to public interest; and every original shareholder in that
line may, on production of his scrip certificate, receive an allotment
of a similar number of Salisbury and Swindon Extension share•.
The holders of Great Western, and of Wilts, Somerset, and Wey-
mouth shares, will also have a preference.
Applications may be made, in the following form, to the Proviaioni.
Committee, at the Offices of the Company, 26, Gresham-street, the
solicitors, the local agents, or to the principal brokers in tows am:
country.
