The great want of a thoroughly Colonial Banking Institution for the whole Colony • of New Zealand having been long felt, it has been determined by the Provisional Committee to supply the same by placing before the public the present carefully considered scheme, with the full confidence that it will i meet with very general support. I 2nd As a first step, it is purposed to I offer to the people of this Colony one half of , the nominal capital, or 200,000 shares, in fair ; proportions to each of the Provinces through- > out New Zealand, on the basis of the respective populations of each Province, reserving i the other half to be disposed of hereafter, as l the rapid progress of the colony may demand and sharholders may decide ; but in no instance will any of the remaining shares be - offered for sale out of the -Colony without having been first offered to the Colonial holders, nor will any but a New Zealand Register be kept. 3rd. It is intended that the Head Office [ of the Bank shall be in Dunedin, and that a [ General Manager of high professional stand- [ ing shall be appointed to guide the operations of the Bank ; and also that a Board of quali- ; fied Directors shall be elected from among j the Committee to advise with the General Manager, and generally watch the interests of L the whole Institution. t 4th. As soon as a sufficient number of Shares shall have been applied for to warrant the commencement of business, the Head Office . will be opened in Dunedin, in suitable premises already secured under offer, and thereafter Branches will gradually be opened in the . chief centres of settlement throughout the [ Colony. sth. Itwill bethe chief aim of the Promoters i .of this Bank to aid and conserve alike the mii terests of the whole community in this Colony. The Mercantile, Trading, Pastoral, Agriculi tural, Mining, Artizan, and Laboring classes will each have fair tr"eattnent and support from the Colonial Bank. To the Mining 1 Interest special attention will be given, with a desire to acquire for the miners the Mint value of their gold, whether in large or small quantities, and until such value can be ascertained a liberal advance will be made upon any gold deposited for the purpose of coinage. 6th. It is not intended by the Promoters that this Bank shall purchase gold, but merely be. prepared to make advances upon it until realised, in the same manner that it will be ready to do upon wool, grain, or other produce.
