TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE AUCKLAND PERMANENT BUILD ING AND INVESTMENT SOCIETY, Lathes avd Gentlemen,— I beg to inform you thnt I am a candidate for your suffrages at the Election of tho Committee bd the abovo Society, which is to take; pace in the Lome-street Hall on Tuesday eveningl. I think it advisable that some new blood should be infused into the Commit! cc. I think that additional inducements should be hold out to the Public to borrow from the Society. My idea is to leave tha tables a3 they are at present, but to give Borrowers a Shore in tho Profits. I believe this plan would add largely to the bi!,~iuesi, and, consequently, to the profits of the Society. I hold a .considerable interest in the Society, and, if elected, I will honestly endeavour to advance the interests of the Society. I remain. Yours obediently, W. RATTRAY. GO, Queen-street, June 2nd, ISI7. TTI L E CTI ONOF C OMMIT TE E. £ij TO THK SHAREHOLDERS OF THE AUCK LAND F'KRMANENT CO-OPERATIVE BUILDING SOCIETY. Gknilkmex,— In soliciting the favour of your votes in the coming Election, I beg to lay before you my views on matters closely affecting your interests and the prosperity of our Society. A strong prejudice exists against block-voting— for the purpose of keeping one body of men in oilice to the exclusion of new Committee-men— and it is desirable that on this occasion such should not be allowed. I have to congratulate the Shareholders upon the hitherto*6iiccessful career of the Society, due in a great measure to Mr. Batger's careful atten tion, but I would earnestly draw attention to the fact that the increase of capital on hand re quires a change in the financial management. In consequence of the uncompromising rate of interest charged to shareholders, there IB a general aversion to borrowing money on tue Society's terms, which latter I would propose to change, for the following reasons :— I will take, in the lirst place, the four years system- A man borrows £100 for four years ;he pays 12s. Gd. per week- Principal £25 Interest £7 10s. or 7£ % Ist year 25 „ 7 10s. or 9J % 2nd „ ~ 25 ~ 7 10s. or 15 %'or.d ~ 25 „ " 7 10s. or 30 X 4th This would be at the rate of 15J P°r cent., which is double the interest any man can afford to pay. I should propose that a sliding scale of interest should be fixed, so that a borrower at no time should pay more than the fixed interest stated at the time of borrowing. Say 7>} or S per cent. The Society would then find no difficulty in lending their money. The invester will naturally say, where will our interest come from ? I will now iv a few figures show. We take again the above instance. The 12s. Gd. is paid to the Society one week after borrowing, at 7i- per cent., as follows - .. .. .. £0 12 6 Interest on this sum would be, for 358 days, remainder of past year .. .. .. 0 0 9} o~li 32 2nd year, 3C5 days .. .. C OHi 0 14 31 3rd year, 365 days .. .. 0 1 0i 0 15 3i ■lth year, 365 days .. .. 0 11 0 16 ih Which would be at the rate of 30 per eent.,being quite as good, if not better, than the dividend tlie Society pays this year. Taking into con sideration that this money also would come back into the Society week after week, and would consequently be lent over and over again, making compound interest. The Society would then be one of the most flourishing in existence. This is a new place, consequently building mus* go on ; and if borrowers could obtain the ruone; at a reasonable rate of interest, they would prefer to do so, on account of the weekly instal ments. I also think that the borrowers should participate in the profits in some slight degree, as an incentive for them to patronise the Society. Again, I think that a borrower, having a certain amount of stake in the Society, should be eligible for acting on the Committee; for everyone knows that opposition in any public bodies tends to make good. laws. As at present the Com mittee consists of investing members, they are more inclined to make rules like those at present in existence. It would take too much space to go fully into the matter, as I intend to do at a future time, probably at the meeting, when I hope to have the support of both borrowers and investors of this Society. Any member who has given his proxy not understanding, can nullify the same by attending the meeting in person. THOMAS STEAJDMAN, Haymarket, Auckland. N.B.—Shareholders who have given proxys must give. 24 hours notice in writing to the Sec retary if they desire to annul them. ."fi K. HA L L & CO.
