Bankers ; The Union Bank of Australia. The Bank of Australasia. Ist. The great want of a thoroughly Colonial Banking Institution for the whole Colony of xuouiuuuiuu ior me wnoie Uolony of New Zealand having been long felt, it has been determined by the Provisional Committee to supply the same by placing before the public the present carefully considered scheme! with the full confidence th&t it will meet with Terv general support, J 2nd. As a first step, it is proposed to offer to the people of this Colony one-half of the nominal capital, or 200,000 shares, in fair proportions to each of the Provinces throughout New Zealand, on the basis of the respective populations of each Province, reserving the other half to bo disposed of hereafter, as the rapid progress Colony may demand and shareholders may decide; but in no instance will any of the remaining shares be offered for sale out of the Colony without having been first offered to the Colonial holders, nor will any but a New Zealand Register be kept. 3rd. It is intended that the Head Office of the Bank shall be in Dunedin, and that a General Manager of high professional standing shall be appointed to guide the operations of the Bank : and also that a Board of qualified Direetors shall be elected from among the Committee to advise with the General Manager, and generally watch the interests of the whole Inflotation. 4tb, As soon ns & sufficient number of ShurH shall have been applied for to warrant the commencement of business, the Head Offiee will be opened in Dunedin, in suitable Premises already secured under offer, and thereafter Branchs mil gradually be opened in the Chief Centres of Settlement throughout the Colony. sth. It will be the chief aim of the Promoters or this Bank to aid and conserve alike the inter estsofthe whole community in this Colony. 1 he Mercantile, Trading, Pastoral, Agricultural. Mining, Artisan, and Laboring classes will each • i e T> a,r treatn,ent and support from the Colonial Bank. To the Mining Interest special attention will bf given, with a desire to acquire for he Miners the Mint value of their Gold whether a large or small quantities, and until such value r be ascertained a liberal advance will be made upon any Gold deposited for the purpose of coinage. ia ls u n n fc inte, ! de(i Promoters that this Bank shall purehase Gold, but merely be prepared to make advances upon it until realised, in the same manner that it will be ready tod ® u E° n Wo °l.
