GENERAL ADVANTAGES.
I,..The limited investment of British -capital in the construction of
ipy7,Znirs in Prance has hitherto been attended with botkeruccess and
The proposal, therefore, to establish a railway communipa-
▪ elWeen the French capital and Strasburg, the point of depar-
, sM-14 and from Germany, must command public attention and con-
re More particUlarly when it can be shown that peculiar fact-
' dare afforded by the French Government, and that those risks
e,,,
nenses will be obviated, which, to so great an extent, affect si-
. Undertakings in England.
NTsFITS PECULIAR TO FRENCH RAILWAY INVEST•
MEN TS.
.vernConte
rtnably to the Law of the 11th June, 1842, the French Go-
• m
ent have resolved on the formation of a railway from Paris to
aborg• It is necessary to state that, by the terms of that law,
th;tisaind will be purchased, and the earthworks, tunnels, bridges, Oit-
• / &c., will be executed by the Government, at their own ex-
fa,i77 and risk. A lease of the line for working will he made to the
to,,,Nt, whose investment will be limited to the ballasting of the
et.,7,_ the supplying and laying down of the rails, and providing the
lue es, carriages, &c. The ratification of this lease, the duration of
grant, the conditions of working, and the thrift of rates will be the
ucr of a special law.
COMPARATIVE ABSENCE OF RISK.
thin,the advantages of railway investment will thus be secured to
h,..nareholders without those risks_ involved in the purchase of
i"-Z7, end errors in the estimate of cost, which have so frequently oc-
Crea,.. in similar undertakings in England. The only object of consi-
oe,.'"tien will be the conditions to be obtained from the. French Go-
te7,l,llent for the working of the line, and there arc sufficient data to
- sp..,vince the Provisional Directors that favourable terms will be
—"uted to the proposed company.
