TvHrtnr SH\REHOLDERS OF THE AUCK -10 ISdSSt CO-OPERATIVE BUILDING SOCIETY. Gentlemen- In soliciting tbe favour of your vot?sYn the coming Election, I beg to lay before yon my views on matters closely affecting your interests and the prosperity of °™: &°% e.&- ± strong prejudice exists against for the purpose of keeping one body of men m office tothl exclusion of new Cominittee-men and it is desirable that on this occasion such S\°£e o tobcofg°ra&te the SharehoWers upon KffiS earnestly draw attention to the fact that the increase ot capital on hand re cuires a change in the financial management. In consequence of the uncompromising rate of interest charged to sb areholders, there is a General averlion to borrowing money on the SociWs terms, which latter I would propose to change, for the following reasons :— I will take, in the first place, the four years system A man borrows £100 tor four years; he pays 12s. Gd. per week- -_ Principal £25 Interest £7 10s. or 4 / ,„ai 25 -\\ 7 10s. or lo %"3rd ~ 25 „ 7 10s. or 30 % Ith „ This would be at the rate of I$J per rant., wh.ich is double the interest any man can afford to paj. I should propose that a hiding scale of interest should bo lixed, so that abori*>wer at no time Ihould pay more than the fixed interest stated Itthe time of borrowing. Say 7* or 8 per cent. The Society Avould then find no difficulty m lendingS- money. The investor wd naturally say where will our interest come from ? I wiU nowTn a feAv figures show. We take again the above instance The 12s. 6d ; is paid to the Society one week after borrowing, at 7* per cent., as follow*- . •• •• ..." fcOl"J ° Interest on this sum would be,, for 353 days, remamae? of - past year .. .. •• •• v" g 0 13 31 2nd year, 365 days ~_•■. •• -° ° ir -0 11 Si j 3rd year, 36o'days ° * °* i - 0 15 I 4th year, 335 days •• •• _l __



0 16 li Which would be at the rate of 30 per centreing ouite as good, if not better, than the dividend ff Socifty Pays, this year. *^£g£g& sideration that this money also wo^^F^ back into the Society Aveek after Aveek, and would enn<?enuentlv be lent over and OAer again, makin-compound interest, The Society "would htSl one o P?lhe most fioim^^^t^. This is a new place, consequentl}- bnildms nnw go on ; and if borrowers could ob.am the mo°c-J at a reasonable rate of interest, they >voultt tomakc aood tews. _M l^ T&y S, Sven his proxy net understanding,, can nullify Haymarket, Auckland.
