Solicitous : » Messrs. Brandon and So.v, Wellington. Gkxkral Manager: A thoroughly competent and experienced General Manager will be appointed. Bankers : To be 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 the same. I'hoy will provide for the Board a tenure of office of one year, and the annual retirement of tho usual proportion of their number. The Directors have each subscribed for £I^oo cash interest in thn Company, and have under taken its formation us 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 bo valuable to the Company. Having a large amount of support, and being able to offer to the public the guarantee of ampin cash capital, the Company will commence business under the most favourable ausptces. The whole of the remaining 100,000 shares being reserved for allotment in successive issues to actual insurers with tho Company in propor tion to the insurance premiums paid by them. Tho 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 oE mutuality in con nection with the most successful life association existing: and, after lons consideration, the Board are satisfied that the present proposal comprehends the roost practical emboennent 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 ot fixing the capital will Booure a large amount ot 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 ol! 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 continued, that they decided in tho interests of insurers in general and consequently of the association. Mr. Graham or another representative of tho Directors will shortly be in Auckland. The rates and general terms of business of the Association will be similar to whatever may bo current from time to time. For Directors of Colonial Insurance Company . FRED. A.
