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 tbe 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 tbe 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 m propoi tion to the insurance premiums paid by tnem. The Directors find business people perfectly prepared to enter the 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 in the allotment. But an important feature in the proposal isi 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 £ uK^nHn.?mn" nection with the most successful life association existing; and, after long consideration, the Board ire satisfied that the present proposal comprehends the most practical, embooimentof 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 m hand, besides undoubted security; that the method ot fixing the capital will secure a large amount ot business; and that the Company will have tne sympathies of the public as a etrong colonial institution, holding open its doors 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 progress of the colony fully warrants the foundation of a similar institution in its apital city. The Directors have been iustifled in thinking that the shares would be favourably regarded, and it was in that view, now fully continued, 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 bo similar to whatever may be current from time to time. For Directors of Colonial Insurance Company. FRED. A. GRAHAM, Secretary.
