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 bona fide settlement. As coon 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 sub* 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 clause* 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 healthpurposes, 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 jperiod of, say not less than ten (10) years. Each subscribe 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, 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 tbe Association, and possession can be given to applicants, or until such, time as tbe Association shall make arrangements with the Govern* ment for allotting land to the subscribers, provided always that such monthly payments of two p ercentum 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 Sew Zealand to tbe Asio- ! ciation's account;, to be opened in the name of tbe Trustees, on fixed deposit bearing ! interest, and no 1 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 provin* c'ul 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 subscribing members will be called for the pur* pose 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 tbe Provisional Directors are unable to make satisfactory arrangements with tbe Government, or from any other cause they find that they are unable to carry out the aoheme suggested by this prospectus, they may return to each subscriber the amouat of his subscription with accrued inteiwt, less his share of the expenses or liabilities then incurred: As it ir> of the utmost importance and imperatively necesaary that no time should be lost in organising the business of tbe Association, the Provisional Directory therefore stipulate that the list of subscribing mem* bers 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 may be procured from the Provisional Directors, tho Secretary pro tern, or at the Wellington Working Men's Club, Lambton Quay. - ' ■ ' . -
