I'ItOPOSED TONTINE BRIDGE ACROSS THE.S WALE,
AT OR NEAR KING'S FERRY, ISLE OF SHEPPY.
THE Proposed undertaking is not a theoretical or
J. speculative scheme to raise a sum of money for an object
which may, or may not, hr either practicable or useful, for it is ad-
mitted by all persons acquainted with the situation, that a Bridge
ccross the Swale into Siteppy, would be a work of great public
utility, and can be built without much &Meshy or expellee. The
increasing traffic to Sheerness, in consequence of the important
Naval improvemeits carrying on there (and which will, no doubt,
be followed by correspondent establishments in the other public
departments), promises a good return on the capital to be invested
for the undertaking.
It is proposed to raise .024,000, by 2.000 shares of .Cl 2 each.
No motley to'be paid until the whole of the shares are taken.
The Company to be governed 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 .C 2 on each share to be paid into the hands
of Messrs. D. H. 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 Plans, for their consideration and adoption. The Pro-
prietors will then be required to pay the remaining ?CIO on each
Share, and give the Name, Age, Place of Birth, and Residence of a
Person, or the Names, Ages, places of Birth, and Residences of Per-
sons to be inserted in his or her Share or Shares (with the option of
earning the same Life for one or more Shares). which Names shall
be immediately registered ; and on the death of a nominee in the
Share or Shares, such Share or Shares shall be cancelled, and the
benefit or Property thereof cease. This system to be put sued until
the number of Shares is reduced to 500, and the holders of the
mid 500 Shares, in which the Survivors are named, are to be the
Proprietors of the Bridge, Tells, &c. such Shares to continue
afterwards as bona fide property, and to be saleable or transferable.
Whet. the Deposit of .C 2 is made, Receipts will be given, amid the
Shares may be sold or tranferred when an Act is obtained ; the
Proprietor who pays the remaining £lO having the right of naming
the Life or Lives to be inserted in his or her Share or Shares. After
the tell amount of the Shares is paid they may be sold or trans-
ferred, so long as the person named therein is alive.
The accounts of the profits of the Company shall be made up,
and Dividends paid to the Proprietors quarterly ; but such Shares
oily are to participate therein as contain the name of a person who
L alive on the last day of the Quarter, proof of which will (if ne-
cessary) be required.
It the whole of the amount subscribed should not be expended
in completing the work, the balance is net to be returned to the
eibscribers. but to be considered as the stock of the Company, and
to he kept (together with such interest as may accumulate thereon,)
for the pun pose of repairing the bridge, for making or amending
roads, or for such other purposes connected with the undertaking
a% the Directors may think fit, and whatever sum (if any) should
remain when the shares are reduced to 500, it shall be the property
in the holders of those shares.
When the Company are in possession of tends (either from the
st.bscriptions or otherwise), for which there is nut likely to be an
immediate call, the Directors are to invest the same in good security
for the benefit of the Proprietors.
Phis plan has been submitted to several Gentlemen of respecta-
bility in the County, who approve theteof, and have subscribed to
the undertaking.
Applications for shares to he made (if by letter, post paid) to
Ilrssrs. P. Young and Co. Rectory douse, St. Michael's-alley,
Curiihill, Londun ; or to Mr. W. W. Bentham, Sheerness.
