BOARD OF DIRECTORS. Chairman : The Hon. C. J. Pharazyn, M.L.C., (Chairman, of the Local Board of the Australian Mutual Provident Society). Vice-Chairman : The Hon. Randall Johnson, M.L.C.

Provident Society).. The Hon. Dr. M. S. Grace, M.L.C. E. W. Mills, Esq., Merchant. Walter ,T. Nathan, Esq., Merchant. Solicitors : Messrs. Brandon and Son, Wellington. General Manager: A thoroughly competent and experienced; General Manager will be appointed.. Bankers-: To be hereafter appointed by the Directors. 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 me • annual retirement of the usual proportion of their number. The Directors have each subscribed for £10001 cash interest in th.fi 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 apportioned a considerable number' elsewhere,. in securing a large {amount of support, will be. shortly prepared to place an adequate propor tion of the capital in the Province of Auckland with persons whose influence or business is. calculated to be valuable to the Company. Having a large amount of support, and being,; able to offer to the public the guarantee of ample cash capital, the Company will commenco business under the mop.tf avourable auspices. The whole of tbe remaining 100,000 shares i 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 the Association upon suchi allotments as proportioned to their influence, while calculated to permanently secure their support. The interests of the general body of smaller insurers wid also be consulted in the allotment;. But an important feature in the proposal is.the • determination of the Directors to retain one half of tho total capitaMor future allotment.to actual insurers upon a definite and equitable basis. Several of the Directors have had experience of the great advantages, of ■ niutuahty. in con nection with the most successful hie association existing; and,, after lons consideration, the. Board are satisfied that the present proposal comprehends the most practical embodiment ot, that principle applicable to Fire and Marine bnsiness. The Directors, therefore, calculate upon the, . following results, viz.: That, the Company will, commence business with a large capital in hand,. besides undoubted security; that the method off fixing the capital will secure a large amount ot business ; and that the Company will havo tpe sympathies of the public as a etrong colonial institution, holding open .ts-docrs to all insurers, upon a mutual principle, and. yet backed, oy large capital, security, and business. The companies hitherto formed have been, uniformly successful. The rapid progressof the colony fully warrants, the foundation of a similar institution in. its. apital city. The Directors have been iustified in thinking that the shares would, be favourably regarded, and it was in that view, now fully confirmed, that they decided in the interests of insurers m .general and consequently of tho association* ; Mr. Graham or another representative of the Directors will shortly be in Auckland.. The rates and general terms of business of the Association will be similar to whatever may he ; current from time to time. For Directors of Colonial Insurance Company. FRED. A. GRAHAM, Secretary.
