this project embraces all the desiderata of a direct line, viz., safety,
economy, and speed.
The promoters of this undertaking, therefore, looking at all its
features—its importance as regards the Adnti rally —t he agricu It u rat
districts it will traverse—the manufactures it will revive, and the
energy and consideration it will add to the port of Plymouth and
Devonport, and their vast population, feel satisfied it cannot fall to
secure the favourable support of the Government and the public.
If any evidence were wanting to convince the supporters of this
undertaking that the revenue arising therefrom will be commensu-
rate with the outlay required, it is only necessary to remind them of
the dividends of eight and ten per cent. now paid by the established
lines of road between London and the west of E►igland, connecting
that circumstance with the i►nportaut fact, that those lines were
made, as proved before Parliament last session, at double the rate of
cost at which railways can, from the ex:.erience of the present day,
be now constructed.
