The rosition of Aberdeen among the towns of Scotland

by Stonehaven, Drumlithe, Laurencekirk,Marykirk, Dub-
ton, near Montrose. and Bridge of Dun, near Brechin,
to Froickheirn and Guthrie: points about seven miles from
Arbroath and F..erfar, in the present Line of Railway to
these towns.
Mr. Cubitt has further stated, that this Line is also th
most favourable as regards the expense of construction,
and that his estimate of £900,000 is fully sufficient for
Compleiing the undertaking, including the plant and every
other expense up to the opening of the Railway.
The Company will be in a situation to submit evidence

per cent. to the Shareholders.
After the act is obtained, interest at the rate of four per
cent. will be allowed upon the calls from the date of pay-
ment until the Line is opened for traffic.
