The position of Aberdeen among the towns of Scotland
is next in importance to that of Edinburgh and Glasgow ;
an 1 with the view of adopting the Line best calculated to
unite Aberdeen w;th these and other populous cities, and
to secure the most favourable communication with the
South, Mr. Cubitt, after a careful personal survey, has
reported his decided approval of the Line now proposed,
and which may be described as follows :—From Aberdeen,
byStonehaven, Drumlithe, Laurencekirk,Marykirk, Dub-
ton, near Montrose. and Bridge of Dun, near Brechin,
to Froickheirn and Guthrie, points about seven miles from
Arbroath and FJrfar, in the present Line of Railway to
these towns.
Mr. Cubitt has further stated, that this Line is also tb
most favourable as regards the expense of construction,
and that his estimate of £900,000 is fully sufficient for
completing 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
to Parliament that the traffic will yield a return of eight
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.
The Parliamentary Plans will be completed in time for
deposit, so that application may be made to Parliament
for the act next session.
Copies of Mr. Cubitt's Report and Sketches of the Line
may be obtained at the Company's Office, 2, Moorgate-
street, London, where applications for the remaining
Shares may be addressed to the Committee. Applica-
