FLANDERS MAIL.

BrtussELs, APRIL 14.—The Minister of Public Works has
presented to the Chamber the four projects of law relative to
the railways which we mentioned yesterday. In presenting
these projects of law, the Minister has taken pains to pre-
vent anything that may give a dangerous encouragement to
jobbing; he begins by stipulating the payment of one-tenth
of the capital required for the work at the moment of sign-
ing the contract ; another tenth is to be paid when the works
are commenced, and yet the Company cannot yet negotiate
in our markets any promises of shares; it is prohibited from
issuing titles to shares (titres) till one-third of the capital
is paid ; as for the official quotation of the shares in the
markets (exchanges) of the country, it is not to be made
till after the entire completion of the works. Thus there
are four securities against jobbing. As no assistance from
the State is asked, the Chamber has in fact only to consider
the utility of the proposed railways ; when this is once re-
cognised they may, without hesitation, immediately give
their consent.
