[By T_sL_.Gr.Ar_i.] COLONIAL INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW ZEALAND (To be Registered under the Joint Stock Companies Act). FOR 1-RE AND MARINE INSURANCE. CAPITAL: TWO MILLIONS STERLING. In 200,000 Shares of £10 each ; 10 Shillings per Share, payable thereon; making £100,000 Cash Capital. Chief Office : Wellington. BOARD OF DIRECTORS. Chairman : The Hon. C. J. Piiakazvn, M.L.C., (Chairman of the Local Board of the Australian Mutual Provident Society). - Vice-chairman : The Hon. Randall Johnson, M.L.C. (Manag ing Director of the Northern Lund and Loan Company). Directors: Jacob Joseph, Er-q., Merchant. A. Dk B. Brandon, Esq., M.H.R.. (Local Director of the Australian Mutual , Provident Society). The Hon. Dr. M. S. Grace:, M.L.C. • E. W. Mills, Esq., Merchant. Walter J. Nathan, Esq., Merchant. Solicitors: Messrs. Brandon and Son, Wellington. General Manager: A thoroughly competent and experienced General Manager will be appointed. Bankers: To he nereafter 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 tho same. They will provide for the Board a tenure of office of one year, and the annual retirement of the usual proportion of their number. The Directors have each subscribed for -ICOO cash interest in tho Company, and have under taken its' formation as a thoroughly Colonial institution, with head quarters iv 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 commence business under the most 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 the Association upon such allotments as proportioned to their influence, while calculated to permanently secure their support. The interests of the general body of smaller insurers will also be consulted in the allotment. But an important feature in the proposal is the determination of the Directors to retain one half of the total capital for 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 con nection with the most successful life association existing; and, after long. consideration, the Board are satisfied that the present proposal comprehends the roost practical embodiment of that principle applicable to Fire and Marine business. 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 of fixing the capital will securo a large amount of business; and that the Company will have tne sympathies of the public as a strong colonial institution, holding open its doers to all insurers upon a mutual principle, and yet backed by large capital, security, and business. The companies hitherto formed have been uniformly successful. The rapid progress of the colony fully warrants the foundation o£ a similar institution in its apital city. The Directors have been iustified in thinking that the shares would be favourably regarded, andit was in that view, now fully confirmed, that they decided in the interests of insurers in general and consequently of the 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 b_ similar to whatever may be current from time to time. For Directors of Colonial Insurance Company FRED. A. GRAHAM, . Secretary. TG.
