This Association is promoted with the object of securing for its members freehold farms in the Wttiaiate 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 soon 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, according to rules to be agreed upon 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 induce the Government to grant to members of the Association such modifications of the land on deferred-pajment clauses of the Land Act, 1677, as may facilitate occupation by bona fide.. settler*i and subscribers without necessitating strict compliance with the present provisions of those clauses. The Provisional 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 consideration. ' The payments are to be computed on some well-defined, liberal, and easily-understood system of deferred payments, to be made by instalments extending over a period of, say not less than ten (10) years. Each subscribing member will be required to deposit a sum equbl to ten percentum of the total value of the share of land he applies for before hit application can be entertained, and a further payment of two percentum .per month on said total value untifsuch 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. subscribers, provided always that such monthly payments of two f-ercentum do not extend to a further period than six months from date of application. 'All atonies received are to be paid into the Colonial.Bank of New Zealand to the Asso- * ciktion'a account, to be opened in the name^ of, the i Trustees; on fixed deposit bearing interest," aud no withdrawals or payments to be made by cheque against such account without the authority and signature of the Treasurer, one of the Trustees, and three being first obtained. \ i-Agents, or Acting-Directors, for the Assocfiftion frill also be appointed in all the cjatt^es of population throughout the provincial district as soon as practicable. . , As soon as, in the opinion of the-Provi-sional Directory, a sufficient number of shares are applied for, a general meeting of subscribing members will be called for the putpo«e of passing and adopting permanent rules . and by-laws or articles of Association for the future guidance of the Association, and also for the election of a permanent Board of Directors aud Management. Ifv the Provisional Directors are unable to make satisfactory, arrangements with the Government, or,.ijoin 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 a his subscription with accrued interest, leas ,■ ' his share of the expenses or liabilities then.. incurred. /. As it is of the utmost importance and im-7 peratively necessury. tuut no time shoujd.be. lost in 'organising the businets of the^Aasociation, the Provisional Directory therefore stipulate that the list of subscribing, itembers should be finally closed not JatuKlbap - the 31st Jacuory, 1&80. ■„' W- . r /. ./ ,Terms of proposal and application ipp" shares and other information connected with the Association may be procured /from the Provisional Directors, the Secretary pro ttm, . or at the Wellington Working Men's Club, Lambton Quay. ;, . ; Applications, with amount of. deposits to be lodged with the Colonial Bank of JSewZealand, Wellington.. .;- V WILLIAM WYLIE, "■ 2 ', Secretary.
