SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 25. 1875
The advisability of establishing a Building Society in Hamilton was the text of a reont article in these columns. The amount of good effV cteH by such Societies in Great Britain has been enormous. As a means of in-vesfin-r <raall savings to advantage, and of } roy dnz a home by means of easy periodical puvuients. these societies are probably unexcelled by any other to »perafive machinery n-w «xtant. The loss and dmdranfcages of hhfh, or even moder-te rents, is a matter which must havo forced irsclf upon »hp attention of many housQholdersei'pn in this diar .*t, where, in comparison with the ruling
rates of wages, the average rental is far from being excessive. But there are places in this Colony where the scarcity of houses, side by side with an e*er increasing influx of poDulaj tion from without, and a natural increase from wi hjn, have raised house-rent to such an excess ; ve rtto that m*ny famOies experience great difficulty in making both ends meet. In some of the larger centred of potft; lation, the cost of a shelter, often of the ruflest and ino<t uncomfortable, description, has made such inroads upon the weekly wage of a working man as to swallow up what should he available as a provision for old age. or fir necessaries for his family. The profitable development of our Colonial industries, and the high rates of interest derivable from spe culative investments hare induced capitalists to eschew ho<ise-biiilding, and consequently the increased population has out-^rown the house-acc'tn moda tion. We shall not, on the present occasion refe" to the injurious effects upon the health »<nd morals of tho people, of the huddling together of families Suffice it to say that the greed of landowners, uuehecked as it has been by any legal enactments, has already resulted in the cutting up iuto small sites of town sections, in the creation of wretched hovels, and nurrow unhealthy thoroughfares in Duuediu. Christchurch, Auckland, and other tpwns iv thi« Colony, and that many parts of these centres of population exhibit all the squalor, and unhealtliiness which have been ro prolific a source of disease in old countries, and which eiiluatened mod. m sanitary legislation u endeavouring to reform. In those old eouatties reform has bi j en surrounded with almost iitKsuperable difficulties from the magnitude of fhe vested interests ; but in this young country, where cheap land is abundant, th»evil has been suffered to grovr by a sys'era of legislation which deals too much with abstract questions of political economy, while practical social and sanitary reforms have bern overlooked, neglected, or ignored. The wonder is tbat working men, and others of small means have not. long since become alive to the advantages of a more extended system of cooperation amoni^t themselves : but the difficulty of educating theso classes to a clear perception and appreciation of th" benefits of thf system has hi'herto been a stumbling block to its extension. In Great Britain, of late years, there has been sucti a • . noripous increase iv the operations of Benefit and Cooperative Societies thtt fresh 'p_,l«lation has be**n rende>ed necessary to enlarge their scope and powers. Two great division* ot Building Societies exist the terminating, and the permanent, bnt the latter are rapidly superseding the former. Ii the best regulated Societies subscriptions are received at any time; md to auy amount at the option of the member. The magnitude of the operations of those Societies is shewn in the fact that two of th< j m in Bradford, Yorkshire, nlone receive £9t)o 000 per annum, aa.l have 20,000 coutrib'i ing members. In 1872 tho report of the Royal Commissioners shewed that the Building Societies of Great Britain bad an aggregate subscribed capital of over £9,000,000, a Joan, or deposit capital of £6,000.000. over £17,000.000 total assets, with over £16,000,000 advanced on mortage, and an income of over £11,000,000. The Census Returns of New Zealand for 1874, shew that there were in tins Colony at the end of 1873, 29 Building ocieties, with 12,221 shareho - ders, 11 290f shares realised; 33.285^ unrealized and an averege amount ot monthly contributions of £14,380 2s 10-1. The subscriptions of members of these locietie* form a fund for making advances to members upon the security of freehold, or leasehold estate. By this means members are enabled to obtain capital for the purchase of dwellings and land, extinguishing the loan by periodical payment?, which, unless the purchase be an expensive one, do not exceed what would otherwise be paid away in rents The investor becomes his own landlord, hi. rent forming a contribution towards the purs chase of a property which ultimately becomeh'\s own. We need not point out ".ha obvious advantages of the system, the saving of capital and interest, and the means provided for working men of very moderate income of providing a home for themselves and families. We believe the time has arrived when Building and Investment Societies might be advantageously established in the Waikato. Nor are the benefits wo have pointed out the only ones which accompany these Societies. They contribute to sustain the value of land, to assist men our of temporary difficulties, to provide profitable investment for surplus capital, and to increase the demand for skilled labour, They are productive of habits of thrift in a community, and their benefits are material, and generally distributed, We hope our suggestions will lead to th© practical consideration of the subject, and that competent persons will take the initiatory steps for extending the benefits of the system to the Waikato.
Thee* abi unfobtunatily » few individuals iv this Colony who do not scruple to sacrifice its best interests to gratify their petty personal aims and political antipathies. In the majority of cases they are influenced by selfish consider*ti »ns, but in a few others it is cra9B obstinacy or ignorant prejudice which impels them to malign the Colony and heap abuse upon our public men. Amongst these traitors are come who insidiously circulate damaging reports in English and other journals outside the Colony Their misrepresentations would meet with speedy contradiction and exposure here, but made abroad they frequently escape notice, and are productive of serious injury to the Coiony, diverting immigration and capital to other shores, and tending to bring our financial credit and political reputation into" disrepute. Some time ago " Lloyd's Weekly News" contained some letters with 'he signature of "E iwird Jernintfhmn W*kefiuUi, a member of the House of Representatives." These communications were specially addressed to that class of men whose emigration to this Colony u mostdeai.'ed.artizans, workmen, and small capitallVs, and they abounded in such glaring falaehoo is and misrepreoentiJions that the wonder is h >w any well informed English journal could have been induced to give them publicity. Unfortunately the English public could not be aware of the character of tue persjon whose signature the letter bore, or they would not hare posseooed any importance. But stamped with the authority and influence of a member of the Legislature, they wire an appearance of respectability und veracity which did not belong to them. Other calumniators have succee led in foi-hina thei falsehoods upon English journals, butlucklv forth© Colony buve met with speedy disproof at he hands of suoh »blo champions as the Hon Willi»in F.>x, Sir Julius V -g«l, and the Ag-nt-Genera . It will be remembered that, some few mo iths ago Mr life*, fill' wing in the w,vk.- <>( his pol.tioal compeer, EJ W.tkehYld, published ti pamphlet eniil.l d " fho Coming Cri-«ie ; a sk ten of the Financial condition o( New Z<-a and, with 'he amse* and Probable Results of that condition."

We find such falsehoods as the f jllowing :— "The gist, of Mr Ree's es*ay U that the " nolonisU of N.4Mr Zealand are living in a Fool* "Pirartise • • • We find that Mr Rees "regard- the presprtt manipulators of the N^w "Zea'and puMB-striogs as very littl* better 'thnn 'carpet bag*ara ' * • The Press of <X New Z-»«l »nd is in tho hands of th© G-orern-11 ment.

He woul 1 mo there tin* rpfle<-ti>n of a narrow-minded, windy dsma^o ffu>', murh addictei to s^lf-assirnon, and wish an infl*t-"i notion of his <»wn importance, a man who endeavour* to mak^ enind pans for ft'TiSt*, who is unfortunately tr >übled a fatal tendoucy to exaggeration, and an obliquity of vNion as to facts. I', is a pity tint such persons can succeed in imposing upon the unthinking and the or^duloua, and that such snteful effu fiions can find their w*v into print. Bat the dny, we venture to predict, is not far off, when Mr Rees, having fla«hei for a transitory space before thi eya« of the people of Auckland ani Yorkshire, will fade into th-it et-rn-il o^scurirv whioh by a wi»e dispensation of Providence i* reserved for ail little, fu^y, mischief mitkers, and j)etty fogging agitators.

Yeaterduy a Hamilton settler, Mr Webber, procdo lei to Auckland, en roue to tha -am') springs wi'h the object of testing their curative properties upon 11 rheumatic attack with wbirh he hai heen afflictod for some time past While these journoys are hping undertaken at considerable expen'O and loss of time, Waikato settlers ap n«ar to be unaware of the fact th it a supjnor Hot Spring existi at Mifamata, witbiu easy accew from ail parts of tb» dis r r ct. vve ar«i informed by J C Firth, E*q, that a fine mineral healing spring has Ion? been uvd on his estate at MaUmata, and that it has pffected some most Astonishing cures. Only recen'ly • ploughman in hts employ was so severely attacked with rheijma'ism that he was deprived of the use of his limbs, and was obliged to procure assistance in dressing and undressing. By the advice of one of Mr Firths overseers he procured a horse and a supply of provision*, and acaampanied by a boy to attend him, went to the spring, and after a short course of treatment w«» oompleiely rejuvenated. Tha spring ii easily accessible from 'Cambridge by an excellent Mid. At present *he only shrlter erected near the spot is an old Mai»ri whare, bur. »h«se who desire to u*e the Spring can accomplish their object by going tuither in a soring cart or buggy, carrying a tent and provisions. We are authorised by Mr Firth to bta»e that the Spring i? unreservedly open to any ono who needs it. and that every asxixttnee will he rendered to suffWine visifora. Mr Fir h has no desire to make any profit, directly or indirectly from these Spring*, nnd we bfliere that he will shortly erect • dwelling-hou«e on a convenient s»te near the Springs for the accommodation of patients undergoing treatment We trust that his liberality will resdlt in the curative p^operti*>a of the Bpnngs becoming more generally known and appreciated, and that. W*ikato settlers will henceforth be spared the expense and IOS3 of t»rae incidental to long journey* to Taupa or Waiwcra.
