The line from Lyons to Avignon is to be constructed under the law
of the 16th July, 1845, which is to be made by the Company, and to
be completed within four years from the date of the Ordinance con-
firming the adjudication.

The Government reserves the power of purchasing the lease at the
expiration of nineteen years from the [adjudication, paying for the
residue of the term to the Company an annual sum, calculated on the
average of the nett proceeds of the five best of the preceding seven
years, but not in any event less than the nettproceeds of the last year
of the seven.
The Company will be constituted a " Societe Anonyme."
The adjudication of the Line will probably not be delayed beyond
the present year.
If the lease be obtained on favourable terms (and no other terms
will be sought or accepted by this Company), the Line will be a most
valuable one. It forms the only remaining link in the great chain
between the German Ocean and the Mediterranean. The local traffic,
especially of merchandise, is already very great, and with the aids
and development to be given by the railway, will be far greater. The
Rhone cannot compete with the railway, because, although navi-
gable one way, its extreme rapidity renders it practically innavi-
gable up the stream.
It has been considered desirable to associate for the English direc-
tion persons of acknowledged practical skill and experience in the
construction, working, and management of railways, and it cannot
be denied but that this object has been attained.
The Directors take all requisite powers for conducting and con-
cluding negotiations with the French Government, tendering for and
accepting a lease, and generally enabling them to carry out what-
ever they may deem expedient in the interest` of the Company.
