:ha PrOjeeti, 'whether viewed as a means of private investment,

Formingflou. a junction at Stourport with the Loudon, Worcester, and

1100P' ill' the Severn, and through, or in the immediate neighbour-

_lt is considered that the present traffic between the various towns

a?on the
capital ; but when the increase which will arise from the
completion of the railway, and the through-traffic consequent thereon

will prove one of the most desirable investments in the kingdom.
