reported his decided approval of the Line now proposed,
and which may be described as follows :—From Aberdeen,
by Stonehaven, Drumlithe, Laurencekirk,Marykirk, Dub-
ton, near Montrose. and Bridge of Dun, near Brechin,
to Froickbeim and Guthrie, points about seven milts from
Arbroath and FJrfar, 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
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

ment until the Line is opened for traffic.
