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, Recording to rues to be agreed upon at a general meeting of the sub* scribing members of the proposed Association in selections of a minimum value of One Hundred Pounds (£100) sterling, and a maximum value of (£400) sterling. lhe Provicional Directors will endeavor to induce the Government to grant to members of the Association such, modifications of the land on riff emd-paj ment clauses of the Land Act. 1677, as may facilitate occupation by bona, fide eetilers and subscribers without necessitating strict compliance with the present provisions of tboee dames. 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 Minuter 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 Borne well-defined, liberal, and easily-understood . system of deferred payments* to be made by instalments extending over a period of, say not lesß 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 hit 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 Govern* ment for allotting land to the subscribers, provided always that such monthly payments of two percentum do not extend to a further period than six months from date of application. All monies received are to 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 signature of the Treasurer, One of the Trustees, and three Directors being first obtained. Agents, or Acting-Directors, for the Association will also be appointed in all the centres of population throughout the provincial district as soon as practicable. As soon as, in the opinion of the Provisional Directory, a sufficient number of shares are applied for, a g- neral meeting of subscribing members will be called for the pur- - pose of passing and adopting permanent rules und by-laws or article? of Association for the future guidance of the Association, and also for the election of a permanent Board of Directors and Management. If the Provisional Direotovs 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 re! urn to each subscriber the amoutt of his subscription with accrued interest, less his share of the expenses or liabilities thenincurred. As it is of the utmost importance and im« - peratively necessary that no time should be lost iv .organising the business of the Association, the Provisional Directory therefore stipulate that the list of subscribing it embers should be finally closed not Jater than the 81st January, 1880. , ..■'■> Terms of proposal and application for shares and other information connected with the Association may be procured from the Provisional Directors, the Secretary prpJem, or at the Wellington Working Men's Club, Lambton Quay.
