Bth. The Promoters, in placing the foregoing facts before the people of this Colony, desire to point out the very great disadvantages that colonists are sure to labor under by lending—or rather giving such a large sum of money as stated above to foreign Banks, to bo lent back to the people here at very high rates of interest, and on most arbitrary conditions, 1 • They therefore have no hesitation in suggesting the prude*lo? and wisdom of the colonists keeping within their own domain the absolute control of their own moneys, as by so doing they will most effectually destroy the risk of future monetary disturbances, which they have had on more than one occasion to deplore in the past, brought about solely by some crisis that has occurred in one or other of the Australian Colonies, where the real interests of the foreign Bank most strongly take root. 9 J h - 14 has been determined by the Promoters that the first issue 1 of 200,000 Shares shall be conducted by Committees, to be appointed severally'in the chief City in eswh Province: and no Shares will be given or reserved to the Promoters but each member of the Provisional Committee is willing to become a subscriber for the number of Shares standing opposite to his name.* 10th. It is proposed, at the issue of Shares above referred to, that 5s per Share be paid on application; that IQs per Share he paid on allotment; that a call of 5s per Share be made and payable two months after allotment: that a second call of Sa per share be made and. payable four months after allotment: and that a third call of 6s per Share be made and payable six months after allotment—a making together 30s paid up per Share. No **if r °t> to k® ma d o within twelve months of the Bank first commencing business in Dunedin; after which future calls will not exceed 5s per Share, nor be made at shorter intervals than three months between each call. 11th. The Act of Incorporation for this Bank will be so framed as to limit the liability of the Shareholders to twice the amount of their Shares, the same as the other Banks. 12tb. Asa thoroughly Colonial Institution, the Promoters have much pleasure in strongly recommending The Colonial Bank op New Zealand to the support of all Colonists having the real welfare of New Zealand at heart. Such an institution.is much wanted at the present time, and as the development of the Colony proceeds, its usefulness will also increase, and be more and more appreciated, both as an investment for the savings of the people, and as a useful Bank. Judging from the influence and sound experience possessed by the promoting Members of Committee, it is certain that no similar Institution has ever yet been launched in the Southern Hemisphere under better auspices. Applications for Shares will now be received at the Temporary Offices of the Bank, High street (late Club), where forms of application and full information can be obtained.
