if STRVEYOR.
Mr. Edwin Durrant, King's Lynn.
The object of the Promoters is, to recover from the sea
e a very extensive tract of land, which now constitutes a
I( part of the great Estuary called THE WASH.
The measure now in contemplation was suggested by
; the success which has already attended several other
i works of a similar nature upon the adjoining coasts, by
) which many thousand acres have been rescued from the
overflowing of the sea. and converted into arable and
• pasture lands of excellent quality_
For the present, it is intended to limit the undertaking
to the recovery of 30,000 acres. This will require an
expenditure of about £500,000, which deducted from
£1,050,000, the value of the land, will leave the Share-
holders a clear gain of £550,000, subject only to the
claims and compensations of frontage owners.
The capital of the Company will be £500,000, which will
be divided into 10,000 shares of £5O each, upon which a
deposit of £2 10s. is to be made immediately ; but no
farther deposit will be required, until an Act of Parliament,
for which application will be made in the approaching
Session, has been obtained for incorporating the Company,
and conferring upon it the necessary powers.
But although it has been thought prudent to make pro-
vision for raising £500,000, the estimated expense of
completing the undertaking, it is confidently expected
that it will not be necessary to call for more than 50 to 60
per cent. of that sum, as large tracts of land will be reco-
vered shortly after the commencement and during the
progress of the work, which may be made an available
fund for prosecuting the undertaking, or be divided among
the Shareholders, as may be deemed most expedient.
Between 9,000 and 10.000 acres of the most valuable part
of the land are fit for immediate embankment, and will be
wholly recovered within two or three years, after the com-
mencement of the works.
Sealed Applications for Shares to be made by letter
(post paid) addressed to FREDERIC LANE, Esq., King's
Lynn, Norfolk ; or THOMAS WING, Esq., Gray's Inn-
square, London, on or before the 17th February, when
the Shares will be Allotted ; and no further application
will be received after that day.
Interest at the rate of 4 per Cent. will be allowed on
all paid up Capital, from the passing of the act, until a
sufficient quantity of land shall have been acquired to
cover the expenses and declare a dividend.
