Sixty-four thousand £1 "shares are being offered to the public, payable at 2s 6d on application and 2s 6d on allotment. The prospeots of the company are remarkably good, and it is not anticipated that more than 10s per share will be'required to be called up, the purchase of the Moturoa Company being made in paid-up shares equal to the value of the purchase money. In addition to this the members of the original company are largely increasing their interests by taking up contributing shares.

It is anticipated that the shares available will be largely over-subscribed, consequently early application should be made to Mr A. Hathaway, who has been appointed sub-broker in Maaterton.
