allotment* of' lnnl in the township of from b*lf an tor* to an acr« in extent are to lie purchased from G«r«mtr.«nt for the earn of from £20 t) £40 eaoh. Btft thi* of coanfl it only the firs expenie, > that of erecting a home being by far *b* most considerable. Under aaoh circumstances it does seam somewhat ox^rtordiainry that a auocesvfal ntteioot bat nerer jet been made to establish a Permanent and Cooperative Building imd Investment Sooiaty, as has been done wit h inch marked beneficial rssult* to the working claHoft in Auckland and^filewbere. There muit be many amongst us thoroughly acquainted with 4h« nature and working of these institution, which are formed under the Joint Stock Com*panies' A«t of 1860. (These associations grant loam for building purposes or otherwiae, on freehold or loitohold eeonrity, at current rates of interest and easy repayments, and at the sains itime receire depotiu for a filed period, for which they pay good rate* of interest, ior imlauco tay kbnt a member of the Society inbscrioei for fire I'iivroi of $20, he oommenoes pitying two •billing! per share weekly iu.o the fund* at cthe Society., to that at the end of four yean he will liar* paid up in) £100. Sat be nerd not naoes* •arily w ait until .the axpira'ion cl that lime for the mettf hit money. Ai soon f\s a 'certain ■urn ltas.aeourauln.ed in weekly subicrip, ion« a drawing <tftlce<,pl*oe among the umbsoriber*, and the successful drawer* can claim from tlie aisociai'on the full amount of the shares, for wh ; oh ihtr hare subicitibod, for immediate invest* ■merit, either in property already -built or in building on their land, the association of coune being «»tkfied with tUe-eeourity and supervising the expenditure of the money advanced. -From that time th» jltawer pay* 8 per cent, on the money advanced, paying off the capital sum by { w*ekly paynenis $c beibro the drawing, *o that ftt tbe^ud of ifour year* the incumbrance .Unpaid off, and erery week the ntk to iho aisociation, which holdi the property m security, is'loiiened. A shareholder may draw hit mouey 4ae first quarter After entering, or ia a year,, or he may be, ai some one must, the last to draw and hare to wait till his money h fully paid in. But from the rei-y ftrit un.il he docs make e> draw hs leceire* 6 per cent, ptr annum on arery drpcmt a* it is paid in, and he tins always tb# opp rr» tunity of buying* dww, for it is quite a common thing in theie anociation* to Hod those who haTe been tuccestful in drawing willing to sell their chance to some one more anxioui tb&.i Ihacn■eires to maka an immrdiato inreilmeut. 'Ibis by this mean* that ful'y tyro thirds of tha kouses in Auckland, built and ovrned'by workkg' meo, have come into their possession. Turning to the report of a recent nalf-yeacly meeting of the Auckland Feim^naat and Co • operative .Building and 'Investment Society, we £od that full twenty years' expeneusa oi the advantages of these institutions lias rendered them more popular than ever with fio pooplo of timt city, at mny be judged from the saujniaed statement ' of account:), wbioh we ro»publita with k view to > affording our reader* solus insight into the working of such institutions, simply mentioning that 2,378^ new share* had 'been isiuod during tfie haif-ysap:— Koeeip^s.: Entrance fe:s on 2^7Si thnre^, £118 18s bd ; tiansfer foes 0a.602| shares,. £30 2sOd; suivey fee*, JCS4 8s G<\; relunds of insurance nre<riuaig, &c, advan:ed, '£80 7s 7d; amount received f-om fine^, £81 Is 4& ; sabsonptions on investors' shares, 'i) 7,£45 14s >8d ;< rspaym»ntf on borrowed shares, £5,1^4 1* 7d ; c«.ih rec&Ared for propeKiee sold, £l<J9-4r^Bd ; received' .for fixed,, periods, £3,115 J<6s.3d; received for withdrawal seven days after. notice, i 330 917* sd ;, repaired "for pa.iibool»s and rule*, -£l.L5j) tOi»l, £I7VOOI 1&j. iDisbuvsemfutc : Murray: fees paid, £10S B^d;'iaturaace, premiums, ice, advanced,, £Q3'U4i i amounts p*id on account .of advances' authorised, £7,195; amounts repaid, 'Jlijll 7» 'bd. • Interest: 'Paid depositors and bank, £189, lit 6d. f roperlieo sold : Paid surplut to curator 1 in't:state estate, *c, "£59 ss°Bd.

'Total, £17,00 L 18s. The faot that for twenty years this system of '.acquiring real property haf found favour with the working men 1 and small capitalists of Auckland, it sufficient evidence of it* value. IThe weekly payment on the tbarss, whicl»J«aves the properly free at the end of four -yearn, it only rafter all a rent no 'much more-irkrome than thatp»id to a landlord, but were it doubly so the ultimate, prospeot *c worth a little temporary pioohisg. Now, canVwe get upnan Miooiation of this kind, >not lat us s>y for- Hamilton, but fbr>< all Waikato. It is not the dweller in our townships | only but the- country settler tbatit would benefit] Many a mortgage could tie thus worked out in, four jean, that* to i.be paid. in< the lump will remain an atbevwico permanent > eooumbrano*. Many a man could thai easily raise the meant of affecting permanent* improvements on his ladd < which he could mot otherwise manage. The question of establishing snob, an association with rules and scope of action specially auitad to the want* and circumstance* ■ of the district is .a zuattar wclVworiby. consideration.
