' This Company is formed to supply the valuable island of Trinidad
with the advantages of railway.communication.
No part of the British dominions appears to present greater natural
facilities for their construction, or to afford a better prospect of return
for the capital required to be invested.
From the time that the island was ceded to the British Crown, at
the peace of Amiens, it steadily advanced until the abolition of
slavery, when it sustained a severe check, in common with the other
colonies, though its production was not diminished in the same pro-
portion. The fertility of its soil, and the high wages of labour, haie
since that period attracted emigrants from all parts, and especially
from the other West India .Islands—so. that cultivation has been
gradually restored, as will be seen by the official statement of exports.
And, according to the census lately taken, the population appears to
have increased in the same period fifty per cent.
As the arrangements now made for encouraging immigration pro-
mise to bring.a large accession of labour into the colony, so there is
every probability that its production will •be progressively aug-
mented. It may be doubled without any addition to the existing
establishments: and it is capable of indefinite extension, there being
still in the possession of. the Crown upwards of a million of acres of
the finest virgin land within the tropics. With the increase of popu-
lation, and the prosperity of agriculture, there would of course be a
corresponding increase of traffic.
In forming a system of railway communications which will suit the
present condition of Trinidad, and which will yield an immediate re-
turn, it is, therefore, desirable to contemplate their gradual extension
with the advancement of the colony.
An outline of such a plan has been submitted to , the Secretary of
State for the Colonies ; and,- although no conclusive arrangement can
be made without the assent of the Legislative Council of the island,
Lord Stanley has • intimated that he is willing to give every en-
couragement he can to the proposed undertaking, consistently with
his duty of watching over the interests of the colony, and that he
will recommend the subject to the favourable consideration of the
Local Government."
Under this recornmendation it is expected that, a great part of the
land, as well as all the timber, which may be required for the con-
struction of.the railways, and the worki connected therewith, will be
obtained gratuitously from the Crown ; and it is also confidently be-
lieved that individual proprietors will in like manner grant the land
for the lines that may intersect their estates. The precise course of
these lines will depend, •in some degree, upon this encouragement.
It is further anticipated that liberal grants of Crown lands, contiguous
to the railways, will be made in connexion with their progressive
extension. .
_These concessions, while justly made in consideration of impottant
public advantages, will be of great value to the Company, both im-
mediately and prospectively.
As the Cempany will be able to conduct the transport of produce,
and the conveyance of passengers, at. one-third, or even one-fourth,
of. the present expense (which appears to be from three to four
shillings per ton per mile), with ,the additional advantage "of cer-
tainty at all seasons, and protection from waste and plunder, there
can be no doubt that their railways will command the whole of the
existing traffic in the distriets iyhich they are to traverse, as well as
any increase which may Arlie.
It appears that a single line, with passing places, sufficient to ac-
commodate four-fifths of the cultivated parts of the colony, may be
constructed for the amount of capital now proposed; and upon a
careful examination of the probable revenue, the Provisional Com-
mittee are satisfied that it will yield a large return.
It is proposed that the Engineer of the Company shall proceed
forthwith to Trinidad, accompanied by an adeqUate number of Sur-
veyors, for the purpose of surveying the 'intended lines ; and that no
plan shall, be finally adopted until he makes a detailed report. He
will be put in communication with an influential and intelligent
Committee in the colony, who' will afford the most cordial coOPera.
tion and support.
.Provision will be made in the Act Constituting the Company for'
limiting the responsibility cif the Shareholders to the amount Of their
respective subscriptiona.
