This Company has been established for the purpose of constructing Waterworks for supplying with water, at high pressure on the constant service system, the important districts of the City of St. Petersburg, known as Wassiliostroff, Old Petersburg, and Viborgskaja, which at present are destitute of any regular system of water service.

A portion of St. Petersburg has been supplied with water by mains for a long time past, by a Company called "The St. Petersburg Waterworks Company," with results of an exceedingly satisfactory character, the average dividends paid to the Shareholders for some years having been over 10 per cent.. in addition to paying off a large amount of Debentures, and its 100 Rouble Shares are quoted in the St. Petersburg Stock Exchange Lists at 143 to 148, or 43 to 48 per cent. premium.

The portions of the City to be supplied by this Company are of great extent, the Wassiliostroff district being one of the most important quarters of St. Petersburg, in it being situated the Exchange, the Custom House, the School of Mines, the University, the Imperial Academy, besides a number of other Government Establishments and Public Institutions. There are also a great number of warehouses, and the private houses are superior in character, inhabited principally by merchants, and the district being wealthy, a large quantity of water is consumed, not only for domestic purposes, but also in the cleansing and watering of the thoroughfares, which are broad and handsome.

The district known as "Old Petersburg" contains the fortress and also important Government offices and institutions, and the Viborgskaja district possesses many factories and large public institutions, such as hospitals, the arsenal, &c., and new factories are being constantly erected.

At the present time these important quarters of St. Petersburg, the population of which is estimated at about 290,000, are supplied with water brought from the River Neva, and retailed in small quantities from barrels drawn by horses, and, consequently, the price at which it is supplied is exceedingly high, being about six times the rate at which this Company will be able to supply the same.

By the terms of the Concession the Municipality grants for the period of forty years the exclusive privilege of constructing waterworks for supplying the above districts, and the rates authorized are such as will be very remunerative to the Company.

The whole quantity used for public and municipal purposes (except in cases of fire will have to be paid for by the authorities, the usual onerous condition in waterworks concessions, by which large quantities of water have to be supplied gratis for these purposes, having been, in this instance, entirely waived by the Municipality.

The water to be supplied by this Company will be drawn from the River Neva, the quality of which is very pure, and is entirely approved by the inhabitants.

The works will be exempt from all city dues.

A Report has been made on the proposed Waterworks by the eminent firm of Messrs Joseph Quick & Son, of Westminster, the consulting engineers of many of the leading London and Continental Waterworks Companies, and under whose able direction the important Waterworks of the City of Odessa, the City of Amsterdam, ani other cities, have been constructed, with results exceedingly satisfactory to the shareholders.

According to such Report (a copy of which is enclosed it will be seen that the prospects of the undertaking are looked u on by Messrs. Joseph Quick & Son as of a most favourable charac, and, in esti mating the results, they have based them upon a less consumption per head per day than in those portions of the City of St. Petersburg which are at present supplied with waterworks; but they state they are of opinion that this quantity will be greatly exceeded in practice, owing to the number of factories and other establishments where a large quantity of water will be used daily. Upon a consumption, however, of under 5 vedros per head per day, inc uding public supplies, they estimate, after making liberal allowance for the necessary annual expenses and sinking fund, that a nett income will be realized of 33,500 per annum.

Satisfactory as this estimate is, it may be fairly expected that with the natural increase of population, and of the number of houses to be supplied, the income of the Company will materialy exceed the above figures in the course of future years. At the expiration of the Concession, the property reverts to the Municipality in the usual manner; they, however, undertake to pay for any additional works that may have been constructed by the Company beyond what are stipulated in the Concession. To provide for the repayment of the

capital at the termination of the Concession, a small Annual Sinking Fund will be instituted.

The Municipality have, however, the right of purchasing the undertaking, upon the expiration of the first fifteen years of the Concession, but only conditionally upon their paying yearly to the Company, during the remainder of the forty years, an annuity equal to the average profit of the best five years out of the preceding seven years, and in no case less than the profit earned during the last year of the seven or in lieu of annual payments the Municipality is to be at liberty to capitalise the annuity.

There can be no question that these terms are very favourable to the Company, inasmuch as at the expiration of the last fifteen years the operations of the Company will have greatly increased, and consequently the price to be paid for the works will be in proportion.

The Directors believe that in the event of the right of purchase being exercised, a very large profit will result to the Shareholders. In the case of the "City of Berlin Waterworks Company," the profits of the undertaking so greatly increased that the City authorities, who recently purchased it, paid a price which enabled the Shareholders of the Com. pany to receive 201. for each 102, share held by them, being 100 per cent. premium.

The capital of the Company is 200,000l., in 10,000 shares of 201, eachnow offered for subscription-and 120,000l. in Six per Cent Debentures.

A contract has been entered into with the firm of Messrs. R. Laidlaw & Son, of Glasgow-whose reputation as contractors for waterworks on the Continent is well known for the acquisition by the Company of the Concession granted by the Municipality, and held by Messrs. Schwaben & Quick, and also for the construction of the entire series of waterworks to be established by the Company, with all the necessary buildings, pipes, and machinery, at the sum of 256,000l., this sum including the payment of all expenses preliminary and incidental to the formation of the Company, and a guarantee of interest at 6 per cent. per annum on the share capital, until the 30th of April, 1876, the contractors engaging to complete the works so that they shall be in full operation by the 31st of October, 1875.

After this payment, there will remain the sum of 64,000l. for house services, engineering, and general purposes of the Company.

The cost of these Waterworks will, owing to the advantageous position and proximity of the source from which the water is obtained, compare very favourably with that of other Continental Waterworks.

The amount of the estimated income in the Report before referred to, shows 12 per cent. per annum dividend on the Share Capital, after making the necessary provision for Debenture Interest and Sinking Fund, for redemption of capital, and expenses of management.

Should any applicant receive no allotment, the deposit paid will be returned forthwith without deduction; and should a smaller amount be allotted than applied for, the balance paid on application will be applied towards payment of the amount payable on allotment. Failure to pay any instalments at the due date will render all previous payments liable to forfeiture.

A certified copy of the Concession, with a translation, and also the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company, and the Agreements entered into, may be inspected at the Offices of Messrs. Hargrove, Fowler & Blunt, the Solicitors of the Company, 26, Greshamstreet, E.C., London.

There is no class of enterprise more successful than Waterworks established in large cities under exclusive concessions; the financial results of such undertakings have proved most remunerative to the investors, as will be seen by the data of the following well-known Companies.

The BERLIN WATERWORKS have just been purchased by the Municipality of Berlin (at the time of being paid off the dividend to the shareholders was at the rate of 11 per cent. per annum, and the price paid to the Company was such as to allow of the shareholders being paid off at 201. per 10l. per share, being 100 per cent. premium.

The ODESSA WATERWORKS, which have just been completed by Messrs. R. Laidlaw & Son, under the direction of Messrs. J. Quick & Son, have proved a great success. Though only just opened, the revenue is estimated at 100.000l. per annum, and the 201 "A" shares are at 231. to 241. per share, being 15 to 20 per cent. premium.

The ST. PETERSBURG OLD WATERWORKS COMPANY (the pipes, fittings, &c. for which were supplied and laid by Messrs. R. Laidlaw & Son), have long been known as most profitable; the divi. dend paid being at the rate of over 10 per cent. per annum on the share capital, in addition to paying off a large amount of debentures, and the 100 Rouble Shares are quoted in the Official List on the St. Petersburg Stock Exchange at 143 to 148, being 43 to 48 per cent. premium.

Applications for Shares must be made on the enclosed form, accompanied by the deposit of 21. per Share, and must be forwarded to the Bankers of the Company, the London and Westminster Bank, Lothbury, E.C., London.

Prospectuses can be had on application to the Secretary, Mr. B. J. Smith, at the Offices of the Company, 10, Palmerston-buildings, Old Broad-street, E.C., London; or to the Brokers of the Company, Messrs. Fenn & Crosthwaite, 6, Princes-street, E.C., London.
