The Committee of-Management have much pleasure in referring
the Shareholders to the accompanying letter from their Engineer, by
which it appears that the necessary measures . have been taken for
complying in all respects with the standing orders of the Houses of
Parliament. They are, therefore, enabled confidently to assert that
they will be in a pesition to make application to Parliament In the
ensuing session. The Committee have also the gratification to an-
aounce to the Shareholders that the traffic on the line is now being
taken by experienced parties, and is found to greatly exceed their
most sanguine expectations. whilst at the same time they, have the
assurance of their Engineer (on which they place full reliance), that
the Railway will:be completed. for nearly 100:0001. ugder the sum
named in the Prospectus. ,
Under 'these circumstances the Committee of Management feel
themselves completely justified he expressing-their confident opinion
that the " Shropshire Mineral Railway" will prove a highly advan-
tageous investment.
