PROSPECTUS WAIUXU IMPROVEMENT COMPANY. [to be incorporated by an act of the provincial COUNCIL.] Capital £9,<Jo,ini; 00 £5 Stares. Chairman: Provisional Committee: Secretary: Engineer: Solicitor: Bankers: iMIE object of this Company is, as its L title denotes, to improve the Waiuku District. 2. In the present slate of the Country, it is not proposed to construct either difficult or expensive works, but only such as will increase production by facilitating communication without weighing upon the resources of the Province, or expending more money than is warranted by the present trade of the Southern District. 3. The immediate improvements proposed, consist of—a Pier at Onehunga ; one at Waiuku; a single track metalled Road from Waiuku to Purapura; the construction of a few tern porary crib locks on the Awaroa River ; the deepening of a shoal on the Waikalo River; and the blasting or the rocks which form dangerous rapids on the Waipa. 4. Should the funds of the Company admit of it, after the above works are constructed, steamers will be placed by them on the Manukau, the Waikato, and Waipa Rivers, and those improvements extended according to the requirements of the Irade. 5. In order to enable the Company to carry out, in an efficient manner, the requisite imis proposed to apply to the Provincial Council for an Act of Incorporation, conferring upon them the usual powers granted to such Companies. 6. It is further proposed to seek from the Council a grant of land as an endowment for the Company. 7. As Ihe want of fuel is now being experienced, as well as from its increased price, the Company intend to request Ihe Government lo purchase for them from (he natives (the Company providing the necessary funds) the tract of land containing coal on Ihe Waikalo and Waipa Rivers ; with the intention of working (he same for the advantage and improvement of Ihe Province in general, and more particularly of the Southern District. 8. Also for power to increase their Capital within specified limits in proportion as the requirements of Ihe public shall demand an extension of their works. 9. The large quantities of fish in the Waiuku waters, which would prove invaluable (o the new settler, will render it advisable for the proposed Company to introduce into their Act of Incorporation a clause empowering them to work the same, or to assist private enterprise in doing so. 10. The provisional Committee consider that in bringing this most important improvement belore Ihe public of Auckland, they are conferring a general benefit on the community, and Ihe Committee are therefore led lo hope that all will unite to forward an undertaking which is entirely independent of all parly or personal feeling, and intended solely to advance Ihe public good.
