This Association is promoted with the object of securing for its members freehold, farms in the Waimate Plains (or some other suitable locality) ou the moat 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 tub* 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. : The Provisional Directors will endeavor to induce the Government to grant to members of the Association euch modifications of the land on deferred-pajment clauses of the Land Act, 1877, as may facilitate occupation by bona fide settlers 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 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 applitation can he 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 tercentum 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 o{ the Trustees, on fixed deposit beaming interest, and no withdrawals or payments to be made by cheque againßfc suck 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 blbo 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 general meeting of subBoribing members will be called for the purpote 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 and Management. If the Provisional Directors are unable to make satisfactory arrangements * with the Government, or from -any other cause they find thut they are unable to carry the scheme suggested by this prospectus, they may return to each subscriber the amount of his subscription with accrued interest, lees his share of the expenses or liabilities then incurred. As it is of Lhe at most importance and ini- [ peratively neceßE-.uy that no time should be lost in organising the business of tbo Association, the Provisional Directory therefore stipuluto that the list of subscribing n embers should be finally closed uot later than, the 31ist Jacuury, 1880. Terms of proposal and application for shares and other information connected with the Association may be procured lrom the Provisional Directors, the Secretary pro tern, ■ or at the Wellington "Working Men's Club, Lamb ton Quay.
