SURV&YOR AND VALUATOR*. * C. Julius Toxward, Esq., Wellington. Interim Secretary : William Sievwright, Esq., Solicitor, ■Wellington. Temporary Offices: Lloyd's Rooms, Brandon-street, Wellington. Thi3 Company is formed for two objects: Ist and chiefly—For lending money at current rates of interest upon tlie security of landed property situated within the Colony of New Zealand; and 2nd. For acquiring, when deemed advisable, landed property situated in or near to citi«3 or towns, or centres of population, in the Colony of New Zealand, and thereafter selling it again in whole or in lots aa may suit purchasers. With a fast increasing population both in town and country, a very fine climate, and land of great fertility opened up by the construction of roads and railways, there is an almost in exhaustible field for the profitable investment of money in the manner proposed by this Com pany, and it is oo© very little oocupied. This Company intends to occupy that field, and to offer to the publics—particularly to farca settlers. an* (fae ■wotdo-ee population generally— facilitk« for »oq*iiis»fc property, and f»r erectong houses, or effecting other substantial improve ments thereon, on r«*eonably moderate terms. And the Company can do bo profitably to the Shareholders, -while at the same time help is given to people who are willing to pay ade quately for tha advantages and accommodation offered. In no case will money be lent otherwise than upon the security of landed property, a safe margin being always kei-t. The system which prevails all over the Colony in the buying oCJand, ia the.t of deferrincr payment of the price,—so much b-ing paid as a deposit when the purchase is made, and the remainder by bills for' instalments, spread over a limited period of from one to three years, the title being only granted when the price is fully paid up. This Company, in consequence of being in a po?itioa to pay in Cash at once, -will ceriainly be able u> bay property on much more favourable terms than buyers on deferred payments ; and it ts certain that, by tbs exercise of ordinary care, a safe and very profitable kind of business can be done by bujing land and selling again in lots to suit purchasers. It is very well known that Companies in New- Zealand having objects similar to those of this Company have been able, notwithstanding very limited resources, not only to pay large divi dends, but also to add to capital. It is not intended to call up more'than £1 per share, at the outset at least. The Promoters consider- that, with 10s. per share paid up, the Company may make a fair beginning; and. they confidently anticipate that, besides paying a good dividend to the Shareholders, the Directors will also, by judicious investments in landed property, be able from time to time, out of profits, to make additions to Capital. The turn over of Capital will be quick, and there will no doubt be available soon a considerable amount of money from deposits made by people both at Home and in New Zealand, so that a large paid-up Capital is not necessary. Prospectuses, with Forms of Application for Shares, may be obtained at the Offices of the Company, or from the Bankers, at the Welling ton Office, or at any of the Branches, and the Memorandum and Articles of Association may bogseen in the hands of the Secretary. Should no Allotment be made, the Deposit will be returned without any deduction. Llloyd's Rooms, Brandon-etreet, Wellington, October, 1878.
