As soon as the block is decided upotrjiindf he preliminaries arranged, it wilK.be surveyed into sections of limited area and apportioned, by lot or otherwise, according lo rates 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 such modifications of the land on deferred-payment clauses of the Land Act, 1677, as may facilitate occupation by hona fide settlers and subscribers without necessitating strict compliance with the present provisions of those clauses. The Pro*' visional Directors will also endeavor to make provision for ample reserves for religious, eduoational, 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. Ihe payments are to be computed on some well-defined, liberal, and easily-understood system of deferred payments, to be made by instalment* extending over a period of, say not less 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 be applies for before bis -' application can be entertained, and a further ' payment of two percentum vper month on said total value until such time as the block to be applied far is acquired by the, Associa- , tion, and possession can be given to appli- . cants, or until such' time tia the Association [ shall make arrangements'with the Government for allotting land to]:, the subscribers, provided always that euch monthly payments of two f ercentum do not extend to a further period than six months from date of applies- < tion. ' All monies received are to.be paid into the Colonial Bank of Sew Zealand to the Association's account, to be opened in the name of the Trustees, on fixed' deposit hearing 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 , j Directors being first obtained. , Agents, or Acting Directors, for the Association will also be appointed in all the centres of population throughout the prorin- - cial district as soon sm practicable. - As soou as, in Urn opinion of the Provisional Directory, a sufficient number of shares are applied for:, a .g-ueral. meeting of subscribing members will be called for the purpose of passing and adopting permanent rules and dv-Ihyvs or'arliclee of Association for the future guidance of the Association, aiid also ~ for the election of a 'permanent Board of Directors and Management. if the Provisional Directors are unable to make satisfactory arrangements with/ tlio ' Grovemment, or from any other cause' thty - find that they are Minuble to carry out the scheme suggested by this prospectus, thry' ' may return to each subscriber the aui^ui.t- of his, . subscription with accrued ioterpeii, lets his share of the expenses or liabilities then incurred. / Ab it is of the utmost importance and im- _ peratively necessary that no time should be ~~ lost in organising the business of the Assort ciation, the Provisional Directory therefore stipulate that the list of subscribing n,embers should be finally closed not later than the 31st January, 1880.
