Secretary : For organisation (and subsequently agent for; Canterbury), Mr. Fredk. E. A. Graham. Copies of the Memorandum and Articles of Association can be seen at the Office of the Company, and at any of the Branches of the Bank of New Zealand, where Forma of Application can.be. obtained, and deposits will be received. . . ; ~ The Directors each subscribed for £IOOO ■cash (being part of tho ordinary capital), prior to the formation of the Company, and have undertaken its organisation as a thoroughly Colonial institution, with headquarters in Wellington. ' ■ One-half only of the shares will be immediately • issued, and the Directors, having already apportioned a oousklerablo number. in scouring a large amount of important support, are to place the available balance in fair proportions throughout tho Colony with persons whose business or influence is calculated to he valuable to the Company in the mutual interests of all concerned. The Company being thus possessed of strong insurance support, , and being able to offer the public the ( guarantee of ample cash capital, with thorough security, will commence business, the ' whole of the remaining 100,000 shares being reserved for allotment in successive issues to actual insurers with the Company, under the provisions of the Articles of Association, in proportion to the insurance premiums paid by them. The proportion of shares for issue, compared to the amount of pounds sterling of insurance premiums paid, will be declared from time to time at the : discretion of the Directors, so as to offer a continuous, inducement to insurers to join the Company. Several of the directors have had experience of the great advantage of mutuality in connection with the most successful Life Association Assurance 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. • ‘ ' The Directors are fully alive to the importance of considering in the first allotment the great body of small insurers, and they have also determined, notwithstanding any pressure, upon maintaining the chief point of their proposal, via., that they will keep in hand the whole of the remaining 100,000 shares for future allotment to actual insurers upon the definite and equitable basis above stated, which places all ranks of insurers upon an equal footing. The Directors have therefore calculated upon the following results, viz : That the method of fixing the capital will attach a large amount of business, and that the Company, will have the sympathies of tho public as a colonial institution, open to all insurers upon a mutual principle, and, yet backed by large capital, security, and business. The Companies hitherto formed have been uniformly successful, and the rapid progress of the Colony fully warrants the foundation of a similar institution in its Capital City. Tho rates and general terms of business of the Company will, be similar to whatever . may be current from time to time, as the insured will be enabled to participate as nearly as possible in proportion to the profits derivable therefrom. It is not anticipated that any further calls will bo made. .: .■ r . . The applications for shares will be considered as received, and the Lists will bo closed in each Province at the discretion of the Directors. . '-L'ht Bank of New Zealand is now prepared to receive applications for shares.
