PROPOSED TONTINE BRIDGE ACROSS THE SWALI,
AT OR NEAR KING'S FERRY, ISLE OF SHEPPY.
THE Proposed under taking is not a theoretical or
1 speculative scheme to raise a sum of money for an object
which may; or May not, he either practicable or useful, for it is ad-
mitted by all persons acquainted with the situation, •that•a Bridge
acro.s tht Swale into Sheppy, would be a work of, great: public
utility, and can be built without much d'flicolty ur expense. The
increasing traffic to Sheerness, ire consequence of the important
Naval improvements carrying on there (and which will, no doubt,
be followed by correspondent establkinnents in the other public
departments), promises a good return on the capital to be invested
for the undo taking. •
It is proposed to raise £24,006, by 2.000 shares of .1.1 each.
No money to be paid until the whisk of the shares Are taken.•
Tim Company to be &civet:mid by twelve •Directors in the county
of Kent, and six in London.
When the whole of the shares are ,taken. Directors to be nomi-
nated, and a deposit of £2 ott each share to be paid into the hands
of Alessrs. D. 11. Day and Sons, bankers, Rochester, .in the name
of the Company.

.

The necessary application then to be made to Parliament for a
Bill, and the Directors to order plans and specifications to be pre-
pared, that the proposed work may be conducted with economy,
and in such manner as to ensure durability.
When the Act is obtained, a General Meeting of the Proprietors
is to be convened, and the Directors are to lay before. them a
Plan, or Mils, for their consideration and adoption. The Pro-
prietors will then be required to pay the remaining £lO on each
Share, and give tpc Name, Age, Place of Birth, and Residence of a
Pet sun, or the Names. Ages, places of Birth, and Residences of Per-
sons to be inserted folds or her Share or Shares (with the option of
limning the same Life for one vr more-Shares), which Names shall
be immediately registered; and no the. death of a nominee in the
.Shale or Sbaresouch Share or Shares shall be cancelled, and the
benefit or Pr'operty thereof cease. This system to be pursued until
the number of Shares is reduCeil to 500, and the holders of the
•said 500 Shares, in which the Survivors are named, are to be the
.Proprietors of the Bridge, Tolls, slo. such • Shares to continue
afterwards as bona fide property, and to be saleable or transferable.
When the pt posit of .£2 is made, Receipts will be given, and the
Shar'ea may b..! ,uld or tranferred when ,an Act is obtained ; the
Proprietor'who pays the remaining Etc having the right of naming
the Life'or Lives to be inserted hi his dither Share or Shares. After
the full amount of the Shares is paid •they may be sold or trans-
ferred, so Ion; as the person.named therein is alive,
The accnunts of .the profits of the Company shall be made up,
and Dividends paid to the Proprietors quarterly ; but such Shares
only are to pirticipzte therein as contain the name of a person who
is alive on the• last day of the Quarter, pato( of which will (if ne-
cessary) be required. •
If the whole of the amount subscribed should not be expended
in completing the work, the balance is not to be returned to the
subscribers, but to be eonsidesed a.; the stock of the Company, and.
to be kept (together with such interest as may accumulate thereon,)
for the purpose of repairhif the bridge, for making or amending
roads, or for such other purposes connected with the undertaking
as the Directors may tbiuk lit, and whatever sum (if any) should
remain when the shares are reduced to 500, it shall be the property
of the holders of those shares. . .
When the CoMPany are in possession of funds (either from the
sobeeriptions or oth.:rwise), for .which.there is not likely to be an
immediate tall, the Directors are to investtke same in good security
:for the benefit of the Proprietors. •

bility in the County, who approve thereof, and have subscribed to
the undertaking. '
