As soon as the blook is decided 1 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 1 of the Association such modifications of the i land on.deferred-payment .clauses of the Land Act, 1877, aijnay- 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. '-. - v 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 subscrib* ing 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; application can be entertained, tod a further payment of ttfo 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 farther. period than six months from date of application. ' ..-,•■ All monies received are to be paid into the. Colonial Bank of New Zealand to the Asso*. ciation'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 Buch account j without the authority and signature of the i Treasurer, one of the Trustees, and three i Directors being first obtained. ; Agents, or Acting-Directors, for the Asso* t ciation will also be ' appointed in ■ all the centres of population throughout the provin--1 cial district as soon as practicable, i As soon as, in the opinion of the Provi* i sional Directory, a sufficient, number of shares , are applied foi?, a general meeting of-sub* t scribing members will be called for the pur- ■ pose of passing and adopting permanent rules 1 and by-laws or article? of Association for the , future guidance of the Association, and also i for the election of a permanent Board of Directors aud Management. ' If the Provisional Directors are unable to ! make satisfactory arrangements witH the 1 Government, or from any other cause they i 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 i incurred. i As it is of the utmost importance and imperatively necessary that no time should be | lost in organising the business of the Abbo- | ciation, the Provisional Direotory therefore I 1 stipulate that the list of subscribing mem* j I bers should be finally closed not later than i i the 31st 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 pro tern, 1 or at the Wellington Working Men's Club, , Lambton Quay.
