Montrose, sand Bridge of Dun near Brechin, to Friockheim and
Guthrie, points about seven miles from Arbroath and Forfar in the
Present line of ra; way to these towns.

le as regards the expense of construction, and that his esti.
Mato of 904,0001. is fully sufficient for completing the undertaking,

As t Proof of the very moderate statements of traffic, upon which
'4e rev, NI% tie was calculated in the original Prospectus, it may be
stated that according to official returns recently promulgated, the
