Public Notices. IMPORTANT TO SQUATTEH3. MESSRS. Q. D. LOCKHAB.T & CO. having beon appointed Solo Agonte for tho Sale of Messrs. E. HERNULEWICZ & Co.'a GALVANIZED STRAND WIKE, beg to inform tho public that a saving of £23 Iβ is eflocted to every 3,200 lineal yards compared with the cost of solid blnck wire, so extensively advertised 113 the moat desirable fencing wire. Tho undermentioned facts will prove tho contrary. CourAiuTiVK Cost of our Fencing and that with Solid Wiee :— Quo ton of our FcnciDg will inuke 3200 lineal yards (1 mile and 1440 yards) of Fencing with Uro Horizontal Wires at £27 per ton ... ~£27 0 0 But to make 3200 linonl yards of Fencing, with five Horizontal Wires of No. 5 Solid Wire requires 2 tons 13 cwt. at £12 per ton £3i 16 0 Therefore tho cost of 3200 ynrda of Solid Wiro Fencing delivered f.o.b. ia this country is above ours £4. 16 0 Freight to tho colony on 3200 lineal yards of our Fencing— Ono ton at Bay £2 7s 6d par tou £2 7 6 Do do on my 3200 yards Fencing with Solid Wiro 2 tons 13 cwt. at£2 7a6d ... £6 5 10 Thereforo tho cost of freight of 3200 yards of Solid Wiro Fencing over ours is ... £3 18 4i The erection of 3200 yards of our Ftneing, say at 2d per yard ...£26 13 4 Do do of 3200 yards Solid Wire Fencing at 3d per yard ...£4O 0 0
Therefore tho cost of erection of 3200 yds of Solid Irou Wire Fencing over that of ourais £13 6 8 Total Saving on 3200 yards of Fencing ... £22 1 0 So that our Improved Galvanized Wire Fencing, with five Horizontal Wires, erected in the Colony is cheaper than tho Solid Wirijf Foncing by the sum of Twenty-two Pounds One Shilling on every 8200 lineal yards. Beyond this, there is tho question of Inland Carriage in the Colony, which on the Solid Wire Fencing will be nearly three times that of Strand Wire Fencing. Our Fencing will last from forty to fifty years, against ten to fifteen years, tho extent of the durability of the other. The groat heat during the day, and the damp during the night, causo the ungalvanized wire to rust and decay rapidly. We have contrasted our Galvanized "Wiro Strand with No. 5 Solid "Wire, because it ie fully equal in strength to that gauge (tho wire of which the Strand is composed being of the very best quality.) Nos. 6, 7, and 8, Solid Wire of inferior quality and very brittle, is sometimes shipped, which, wliile not so toheap as the Galvanized Wire Strand, is much weaker—won't stand so much strain , , and will not last inuoh oren ten yeere.,...-, ~ .- •■■'"•■ 3D. ■'Suxtrviivwioz & Co.
