the Locomotive Plant : And further , the same parties have come under a formal and binding engagement to take a lease , if required , of the Line when completed , for the first five years , at a net minimum rental of four per cent , per annum , with one-half of the profits beyond that amount . Parliament having already , in 1846 , sanctioned this Line now proposed to be constructed , its Promoters cannot believe that any serious or effective opposition can be again offered to it . _ To sum up , it may be safely asserted that the Undertaking holds out advantages to Subscribers and the Public generally that have rarely yet been offered by any other Railway project : viz . It will afford the most direct , and by far the cheapest , route between London and Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight , being the shorter by twenty-two miles than either of the two existing Lines , and being contracted for at £ 12 , 000 a mile , in lieu of about four times that amount expended on the Brighton and South "Western Lines ; it will have , through tha South Eastern , from G-odalming , a double entrance into London : from , which it follows , ahnosf as a matter of course , that it will command the entire traffic of the Isle of Wight and Portsmouth on terms that , while highly remunerative to its proprietary , mast make competition on the part of itg rivals hopeless , if not impossible . Further , the whole host of the entire work 3 and material has b « en undertaken , by responsible Contractors , for a specific and fixed sum ; thus freeing the calculations and estimates of the Engineers from all doubt and uncertainty . And , finally , the Shareholders will have the power of accepting or not , at their option , the offer of a lease of the Line when completed , for five years , at a minimum rate of 4 per cent , interest on their eapital , with half the profits beyond , with the interim payment also 4 > f 4 per cent * . interest on the deposit and calls during the construction of the Line . In the event of the Aet of Parliament not being obtained , the expenses will be limited to 4 s . per Share , and the balance will be returned to the Shareholders . Below are given the particulars of the lengths of the different Lines , together with the existing population and traffic , referred to .
