This Association is promoted with. the object of securing for its members freehold farms in the Waimate 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 lona 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 I 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 ol the Association such modifications of the land on deferred-payment clauses of the;| Land Act, 1877, as may facilitate occupation by bona jide settlers and subscribers without i necessitating strict compliance with the present provisions,of those clauses. The Pro* I visional Directors will also endeavor to make , provision for ample reserves for religious, i 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. Bath subscrib--1 ing 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 tyro 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 i shall make arrangements with the Government 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! , I . Agents, or Acting-Directors, for the Asso- ! ciation 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 foe, a general meeting of subscribing members will be called for the purpose of passing and adopting permanent rules and 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 -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, less his share of the expenses or liabilities then incurred. As it is of the .utmost importance and imperatively necessary that no time should be lost in organising the business of the Asso* ciation, the Provisional Directory therefore stipulate that .the list of subscribing members should be finally closed not later than the 31st January, 1880. Terms of proposal and application for shares and other- information connected with the Association maybe procured from the Provisional Directors, the Seoretury pro tern, or at the Wellington Workiug Men's Club, Lambton Quay. , ' Applications, with amount of deposits to be lodged with the Colonial Bank' of New Zealand, Wellington.
