LOTHBURI

THE Promoters of this Company have determined
to pursue their application to Parliament in the present
Session, for powers to complete the North Kent Railway, for
the accommodation of the unsupplied district between Strood
and Canterbury, the difficulties which have hitherto presented
themselves having been removed.

The total length of the new Line will be 32 miles. The ex-
pense per mile will be considerably less than two.thirds of the
average cost of the South Eastern Lines; and Messrs. Fox,
Henderson, and Co., are prepared to undertake the construc-
tion of the Line, including the building of the Bridge across
the Medway, and the purchase of laud, within the limits of the
proposed capital.

TWo-thirds of the Capital required have been already appro-
priated, and the plans and sections have been prepared, under
the direction of the Local Promoters, who have undertaken to
bear all expenses, in the event of the Bill not passing the
Standing Orders of the House of Commons.
The Line will leave the North Kent Railway at Strood, and,
crossing the River Medway, will pass through Rochester,
Chatham, Brompton, Gillingham, Rainham, and Newingtoon,
to Milton and Sittingbourne, and thence by Faversham to Can-
terbury.

There will be Branches to Faversham Quays, and Chilham.
Running powers will be taken over the Lines of the South-
Eastern Company.
Looking to the great saving of time and distance, and the
character of the country through which the proposed line will
pass, no doubt can be entertained that it will prove advanta-
geous to the public and highly remunerative to the Share-
holders.

It is calculated that the nett dividends will range from six
to eight per cent, on the investment.

The present average rate of receiri on all the South-Eastern
Lines is .'2525 per mile per annum ; the rate of receipt on the
North Kent Line is nearly double that average, being £4,506
per mile, per annum ; and the latter traffic is far from having
yet had its development, mainly in consequence of the non-
completion of the Line now proposed, which will not only con-
duct it into a district containing in itself large traffic, but give
it termini in the populous watering-places of Ramsgate, Mar-
gate, Deal, Walmer, and other places on the coast.
The North Kent Line has been opened for traffic three years
only, and its current receipts show the following progressive
annual increase :

Current Traffic Receipts on present North Kent Line, 31 Miles.
During lsarear, ending July 31, 1350...C3656 per mile pr annum.
During 2d Year, ending July 31,1851.. 4193 „„ „
During 3d Year,endingJuly 31,1852.. 4506 „
The importance of the Line to the populous districts it is in-
tended to serve may be gathered from the following table of
distances:—
