The Position of Aberdeen among the towns of Scotland is next
Dr
noPortance to that of Edinburgh and Glasgow, and, with the
evy of
adopting the line best calculated to unite Aberdeen with
the" and other populous cities, and to secure the most favourable
communication with the south, Mr. Cubitt, after a careful personal
survey
has repotted his decided approval of the line now proposed,
and which rnay be described as follows :—From Aberdeen by
Slonehaven, Drumlithie, Luirencekirk, Marykirk, Dubton near
Montrose, and Bridge of Dun near Brechin, to Friockheim and
Guthrie, points about seven miles from Arbroath and Forfar in the
Present line of railway to these towns.
Mr Cub:tt has further stated that this line is also the most fa.
vourable as regards the expense of construction, and that his esti.
Mate of 900,000/. is fully sufficient for completing the undertaking,
Including the plant and every other expense up to the opening of
the railway,
The Company will be in a situation to submit evidence to Par-
liament that the traffic will yield a return of 8 per cent, to the share-
holders.
After the Act is obtained, interest at the rate of 4 per cent. will
be:allowed upon the calls from the date of payment until the line
Is opened for traffic.

The Parliamettary plans will be completed in time for deposit,
ao that application may be made to Parliament for the Act next
session.

Copies of Mr. Cubitt's report and sketches of the line may be ob.
ained at the Company's offices, 2, Moorgate-street, London, where
