Perreau, Esq., Foxton Bankers: Ihe Bank of New Zealand, Sanson. Solicitor and Secretary : Jno. Prior, Esq., Sanson. This Company is formed for tha purpose of constructing, under the provisions of tbe District Railways Act, a line of railway from Carnarvon junction to Sanson, a distance of 13 miles 60 chains. Tho district through which tho proposed line will run is admitted by all competent judges to be some of tho finest agricultural land ia the colony, large quantities being annually broken up ; there being at the present time a considerable area under crop. There is also extensive bush land in the vicinity of the proposed line, containing first-class Umber. The line will open direct communication with the port of Foxton, and ultimately extend to Greatford Station on the Wanganui railway, lessening the distance from Foxton to Wanganui by 22 miles, and will doubtless become a portion of the main line from Wellington to tho North. The promoters have confidence in predicting that the proposed line will ba a lucrative investment, as, outside stock and timber, large quantities of grain and other produce must pa« over it. The passenger traffic would also be considerable, and when the extension to the Greatford Station is formed, by far the larger portion, if not the whole, of the through traffic would use the line, it making a difference of 5s 6d in a siDgle first-class and 3s 8d second-class ticket from Wanganui to Foxton, besides a saving in time of two hours. Tbe Hue being once formed, the quantity of land at present annually broken up would bo greatly increased through tbe facilities afforded by railway transit for grain. The greater portion of tho country through which the proposed line ruos is settled upon by a thrifty population. The promoters have little doubt that the working of the line will realise a handsome profit, beside the security of the guarantee of 7 per cent, under tho Dhtrict Hailways Act. The line will be formed upon a portion of tho road the whole of the distance (about 13 miles); consequently no land, with the exception of that required for stations, will be purchased, thus enabling tbe Company to construct the line upon exceptionally favorable terms; in fact, little or no cost will be incurred besides the formation, which will be of the easiest, their being no cuttings of any importance necessary. The # Government having ordered a large quantity of rails from England at a low rate, have signified their willingness to supply the Company with superior rails for the proposed line at actual cost price, which offer the directors have resolved to accept. The Government have undertaken to work the lice upon terms sufficient to cover working expenses and wear and tear of rolling stock. Shares have already been subscribed for in the district. It is the intention of the provisional directors to close the list on the . Early application should therefore bo made by intending shareholders. Prospectuses, with forms of application for shares attached, can be obtained at the offices of the BaDk of Hew Zealand, Foxton and Saoson, and at the Manawatu Herald office, Foxton.
