' " ' ' Mr Wilmam WriisrThis Association is promoted with' the object of' securing for its members freehold farms-in the Waimate Plains (or some othersuitable locality) on the most favorable terms and conditions, with a view of supplying to some extent the great and increasing demand for email holdings for bona fi.de 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 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 tho land on deferred-pajment clauses of the Land Act, 1577, as may facilitate' occupation by bong, 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, 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, fo be made by instalments 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 he applies for before bis application can be entertained, and a further payment of two percentum per month on said total value until such time as the block 1 to be applied for is acquired by' the Association, and possession can be given to appli--1 cants, or until such time as the' Association 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 Bix 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 proyin- ' cial district as soon as practicable. As Boon as, in tbo opinion of the Provisional Directory, a sufficient number of shares are applied for, a general meeting of sub- , scribing members will be called for the purpose of passing and. adopting permanent rules and. by-laws or articles of Association for the future guidance of the Association, and also for tli« election of a permanent Board, of Directors and Management. If tho 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 b/ 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 Association, the Provisional Directory therefore stipulate that the iist of subscribing members should be finally closed not later than the 31st January, 1880. Terms of proposal and application for sharos and other information connected with tho Association may be procured from the Provisional Directors, the Secretary 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. • WILLIAM WYLIE, Secretary.
