The above Directors are entrusted with the organisation of the Company, and have power to frame the Articles of Association, and to register the same. They will provide for the Board a tenure of office of one year, and the annual retirement of the usual proportion of their number. The Directors have each subscribed for £IOOO cash interest in the Company, and have undertaken its formation as a thoroughly Colonial institution, with head-quarters in Wellington. One-half only of the shares will be immediately issued, and the Directors having already apportioned a considerable number in securing a large amount of support, are prepared to place the available balance for Wellington with persons whose business or influence is calculated to he valuable to the company. Adequate proportions of the first half of the capital are reserved for the other parts of the colony, and will there he allotted by the Directors upon a similar principle, in the mutual interests of all concerned. The Company having thus secured a large amount of support, and being able to offer to the public the guarantee of ample Cash Capital, will commence business, the whole of the remaining 100,000 shares being reserved for allotment in successive issues to actual insurers with the Company in proportion to the insurance premiums paid by them. Several of the Directors have had experience of the great advantages of mutuality in connection with the most successful Life Association existing, and, after long consideration, the Board are satisfied that the present proposal comprehends the most practical embodiment of that principle applicable to Fire and Marine Business. Subscriptions for a large number of shares, carrying pledges of material support, having been arranged, the Directors are compelled to require positive assurance of intention and capacity to bring business before making further arrangements, excepting in regard to matters yet in negotiation. A Temporary Office will be opened in a few days, at which information can be obtained. In addition to a fair proportion of the first issue reserved for small insurers, the 100,000 shares retained in hand will further secure, on the and equitable basis of mutuality proposed, the interests of the small insurers, whose support affords the best guarantee of business strength.
