This Company proposes either to purchase a central and convenient site whereon to erecfc a spacious Hall, suitable for the meetings of Masons, Oddfellows, Foresters, and public bodies, as also for Balls, Concerts, Lectures, and other public entertainments.

In the event of a convenient sii c not being procurable at a price within the means of the Company, it is proposed to purchase a building, which, by judicious alteration and enlargement, may be made to answer the purpose for which the project is started. Such a desideratum as a really commodious Hall has long been felt in Hokitika. and the promoters feel confident that the undertaking will prove a great success. From calculation based upon very moderate returns, it can be shown that the annual profits upon the Hall will be at least 30 per cent, upon the original outIn connection with the public Hall it is proposed to erect a first-class hotel, capable of accomniodaiing members of the several societies and their friends who may be visiting or remaining iv the locality, as also for the aceomodaUo:i of young iren engaged as employees in the various establishments in Hokitika. It is considered that the hotel should be sufficiently large to accommodate from '10 to 50 persons with separate sleeping apartments, together with a proportionate amount of parlors, private rooms, &c. It is proposed to let the hotel to some competent person known to the community of Hokitika, as well as to the colonists generally. Thus, while the Hall would be used for public purposes, the hotel in close proximity, would serve to accommodate those using it. Similar schemes, bothixpon a large and a small scale, have been found to answei admirably in London, Liverpool, Manchester, and other towns and cities in Great Britain, and also in Wellington, Melbourne, and the colonies generally. When half the shares have been taken up, it is proposed to register the company, and. call a meeting of shareholders for the election of Directors, &c.

Application for shares to be made to the Secretary, at the temporary office of the Company, Oddfellows' Hotel, Revell street North, on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday evening's, from 7 to 9 o clock. 5535 T7ICTORIA FIRE AND MARINE V INSURANCE COMPANY.
