Secretary (For Organisation, and (subsequently Agent for Canterbury): Mr. Fredk. G. A. Graham. The above Directors are entrusted with the organization of the Company, and have power to frame the Articles of Association, and to Register the same. They will provide for the Board a tenure of office of one year, and the annual retirement of the usual proportion ot their number. The Directors have each subssribed for £1? 00 cash interest in the Company, and have under taken its formation as a thoroughly Colonial institution, with head quarters in Wellington. One-half only of the shares will be immedia tely issued, and the Directors, having already appdrtioneda considerable suniber elsewhere, in securing a large [amount of support, will be shortly prepared to place a,B adequate propor tion of the capital in the Province of Auckland with persons whose influence or business is calculated to be valuable to.ttie Company. Having a large amount, of support, and being able to offer to the public the guarantee of ample cash capital, the Company will commence business under the moßt favourable auspices. The whole of the remaining 100,000 shares being reserved for allotment in successive issues to actual insurers with the Company in propor tion to the insurance premiums paid by them. The Directors find business people perfectly prepared to enter th<a Association upon such allotments as proportioned to their influence, while calculated to permanently secure then" support. The interests of the general body of smaller insurers will also be consulted m the allotment. But an important feature in the proposal Is th© determination of the Directors to retain ore iialf of the total capitalffor future allotment to actual insurers upon a definite and equitable basis. Several of the Directors have had experience of the great advantages of mutuality in cen nection with the most successful life association existing; and, after loner consideration, the Board are. satisfied that the present proposal comprehend siixe most practical embodiment of that principle applicable to Fire and Marine business. The Directors, therefore, calculate uddii the following, results, viz.: That the Company will commence, business with a large capital in hand, besides undoubted security; that the method of fixing the capital will secure a large amount ot business j ajid that the Company will have tne sympathies of the public as a ?troag colonial institution, holding open its doers to all insurers upon a HMitual principle, and yet backed by large, capital, security, and business. The- companies hitherto formed have been vyuiormly successful. The rapid progressof thecolony fully warrants i the foundation of a similar institution in its 1 apital city.
