FLEETWOOD DOCKS.--PRESTON AND WYRE
RAILWAY, HARBOUR, & DOCK COMPANY.

INCORPORATED BY ACT OF PARLIAMENT

Issue of Shares (bearing £5 per Cent. IssiereelLfor making

Docks. 4ice. . -
PETE Railway having now established itself as a good
-1-In-
vestment with profitable and daily increasing returns,
and the. Harbour Works being in a state of great forward-
ness? the Directors have determined at once to issue a portion
of the remaining 4,000 £5O Shares for the formation of Docks
and other Works, which the daily increasing commercial
traffic of the port shows will not only be a lucrative invest-
ment in itself, but must materially enhance the returns both
of the. Railway and Harbour.

The mode 'the Directors propose to pursue in the issue of
newi Shares will be to require only a payment of £5 per Share
on each of these new £5O Shares on their first appropriation,
with a further call of £5 per Share every three months, till
the whole £5O is paid ;• such calls to carry interest at the rate
of £5 per cent. per annum payable half-yearly, until the
whole of the calls are paid, the holders of such new Shares
having the privilege at any time, by paying up their Shares
in full, to come in and participate in the dividends with the
old shareholders in lieu of such interest, and as soon as they
shall have paid up all their calls, to elect whether they will take
such dividends, or continue .to receive a priority of interest
at £5, per cent. per annum out of the profits of the Company.
As the Railway is now paying a fair profit, which profit it
may be confidently expected will be steadily and regularly
increased, and the calls on such new Shares are spread over
a space of two years and a quarter, the present arrangement
offers an unusual and most important mode of investment,
at once securing to the holders £5 per cent. on their money,
with an opportunity of receiving the dividends in lieu thereof,
whenever those dividends shall exceed the amount of the in-
terest.

Applications for Shares, to be made at die Company's
Offices at Fleetwood on Wyre, Lancashire, and No. 11,
King William-street, London, on or before the 20th day of
July next. _ _ .
