The Directors of the Wilts, Someriet, and Southampton Junction
Railway. Company, having completed the whole of their arrange-
ments, and having been compelled to refuse at least three-fourths ol
the applications for shares in their line, have had their attention
forcibly and repeatedly caned to the necessity of a direct communi-
cation between Salisbury and Swindon, the station on the Great.
Western Railway, by which the most direct and remunerative Con-
nexion will be formed between Southampton and Manchester.
The advantages, in point of speed, to be derived from the broad
gauge, as also the superiority of the gradients obtained by the rout(
of the Va,l?y 02 the Avon, together with the itnportance of placing the
city of Salhbury on the main trunk line from the no:th to South-
ampton, must insure to this undertaking the sanction of the Legis-
lature and the local support of the towns and districts through which
tl:e line will pass.
Besides tbeming a direct communication with the great manufac-
turing towns in the north, the Salisbury and Swindon Extension will
make a complete line of railway- between Southampton, Salisbury,
and all, parts of North and South Wales.
After most Mature deliberation, the Directors have resolved to re-
commend to their shareholders and the public the immediate carry-
ing out of a railway to effect the above aject, which will be most
desirable as a completion to their own line, and highly advantageous
in a pecuniary sense and on public grounds. They have directed all
the necessary surveys to be made, so as to apply to Parliament h,
the ensuing session, at the same time as the Wilts, Somerset, argil
Southampton Junction Railway, with a view to the ultimate amal-
gamation of both lines under one management.
In the allotment of shares, preference will be given to the holders
of the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction Railway shares,
as also to parties locally interested,- due regard being at the same
time had to public interest; and every original sharehoder in that
line may, on production of his scrip certificate, receive an allotment
of a similar number of Salisbury and Swindon Extension shares.
The holders of Great Western, and of Wilts, Somerset, and Wey-
mouth shares, will also have a preference.
Applicationsmay be made, iu the following form, to the I'l'ol,lBlone*.
Committee, at the Offices of the Company, 26, Gresham-street, the
solicitors, the local agents, or to the principal brokers in town and
country.
