This Association is promoted with the object,of.,securing for its members freehold - farms in the Wuiroats Plains (or some other suitable locality) on the most favorable terms and conditions, with a view of supplying to some'extent the great and increasing demand for small holdings for bona fide settlement; As sbsn as the block is decided upon, and the. preliminaries arranged, it will be surveyed into sections of limited Area and apportioned, by lot or otherwise, ■Cording to rules to be •greed 1 npoQ at a general meeting of the subscribing members of the proposed Association in selections of a minimum value of One Hundred Pounds (£100) sterling, and a maximum value of (£400) sterling. The Provisional Directors will endeavor to indues the Government to grant to members of the Association such modifications of the land on deferred-payment clauses of the Land Act, 1877, as may facilitate occupation by boha jide 'settlers and subscriber! without necessitating strict compliance with the prelent provisions of those olauses. The Pro--visional Directors will also endeavor to make provision for ample reserves for religious, educational, recreation, and public health purposes, as suggested by the Minister of Lands to the deputation which lately waited upon the Government with the view of bringing this scheme under their notice and favorable coniidefation. • , .; .} She payments are to be computed on some well-defined, liberal, and easily-understood system of deferredpayments, to be made by instalments extending over a period of, say not lees than ten (10).. years. Each subscribing member will be required to deposit a sum equal to ten percentum of the total value of the share of land he applies for before his application can be entertained, and a further payment of two percentum per month- on said total value until such time as the block to be applied for is acquired by the Association, and possession can be given to applicants, or until such time as the Association shall make, arrangements with the Government for allotting land to the Mibeoribjßrs, provided always that ouch monthly payments of two percentum do not extend to a further period than six/months from date of application. •• ■ ■■■■■ . ■-. :- ■■ ;.- All monies received are t« be paid into the Colonial Bank of New Zealand to the Association's account, to be opened in the name of the Trustees, on fixed deposit bearing interest, and no withdrawals or payments to be made by cheque against such account without; the authority and siguature of the Treasurer, one of,the Trustees, and three Directors being first obtained. Agent*, or Acting-Directors, for the Association will also be appointed in all the centres of population throughout the provincial district m soon as practicable. As soon as, in tho opinion of the Provisional Directory, a sufficient number of shares are applied for, a general meeting of subscribing members will bo called for tho purpose of"pas3ing and adopting permanent rules and by-laws or articles of Association for the future guidance of tho Association and also for the election of a permanent Board of Directors and Management. If the Provisional Directors are unable to make satisfactory arrangements with the Government, or from any other cause they find that they are unable to carry out the scheme suggested by this prospectus, they may return to each subscriber the amount of his subscription with accrued interest, Icis bis share of tho expenses or liabilities then incurred. As it is of the utmost importance and imperatively necessary that no time should bo lost in organising the business of the Association, the Provisional Directory therefore stipulate that the list of subscribing members should be finally closed not later than the 31st January, 1880. . X , Terms of proposal and application for shares and other information connected with the Association may be procured from the Provisional Directors, the Secretary pro tern, or at the Wellington Working Men's Club, Lambton Quay.
