INDUSTRIAL BUILDING SOCIETY.

The half-yearly meeting of the Induatrail and Provident Building Society of Auck land, was held last evening, Mr A. G. Horton presiding. There Was a good atten dance of| shareholders- — The Chairman apologined for the absence of Mr Fraser, secretary, through indisposition. DIRKOTOBS' BKPOKT. 1 *Ihe annual report of the directors was >tend by the chairman as f6llows:—Ueport ,«£ tho Board of Manager?, to be presented to the members at the half-yearly meeting, to fee held on Wednesday, the 30th June, 1883. —In presontiog their report tor the half-year, ending the 31st of March last, your directors havemtch pleasure in stst> ing that the buiiness of tho society con< tinues to make satisfactory progress. Youi •directors have aimed at giving thejbusiness a sound and steady character—first, b» placing the society upon a sound financial ibaais; and second, by exeecising a judi ■ eious care in accepting securities for ad vauees. These efforts on the part of the directors have been entirely soecessful, and havo gained the confidence of the public, By art togiag &a finances in flaeh a mannci as to ha^e as little as possible of the funds lying idle i^ uproduotive, loss of interest has been av"«ide"di mi at the; same time larger grofit»tamed for members, 'ihe Paid-up" Shares ol tho Society j These the directors cannot too highly recommend. They are glad to $<** that a number of investocs have aJxei^J availed them selvoa of the advanu^^, these shcre3 offer. Tbey are safe, f lo^ from all trouble in the collection of impost, and arc equally valuable lor the pur^eß °. f. mv, eßt" mont, ennowmeat, or annuity.l Memtee and depositors have tnu option of convuit log the suma attUeir credit into th'esjshans at their pleasure, and without any cost. Loaus : Up to the 31st of March test the total sum lent by the society, on mortgage, was £26,927.; Of that amounf, part, oi course, has been paid off from time to time, and re-invested iv fresh securities. It is found ihatasthelibeiai y of the tccietv and its easy teims become known, intending borrowers are induced to apply te na for advances. It is uni<.rtonate, however, that inanj persons, instead of borrowing from the society and securing by this means a home for themselves and families, etiil prefer the usual fystem of perpetual mortgage. This institution, aa you all know, was designed ana established for the benefit and assistance of the thrifty, the encouragement and cultiva tion of provident habits in its members, and to enable those who desired to do so, t» place themselves in a position of com parative comtort and independence, by acquiring homes of their own. la respect to the past, the benefits which have already accrued to members ot the society by saving money and acquiring freehold or leasehold property has beeu very consider able, and this fact should, stimulate tv«

Mr Montgomery's Speech on the Address in Reply.

Mr MosTQOMKRr thought the gantleraea! who had moTed and seconded the addresa ! had done so with modesty, There were things in the speech not mentioned.at all," and matters of 'consMeraßlel''lmportance.: For instance, no reason was asiigned why i the Hopse had n6f met in May. Re was ' sure this question would be asked, if'not pre<sed. They had been assured that the; change of the financial year hid been mad« to enable the House to meet in the Biiddla' of May. It was impbrtant that the Housa should meet before the time elapsedfpr th» expenditure of votes.. In his opinion, all expenditure since the 31st May was com trary to the spirit of the Appropriation Act. They might be told that Parliament hajji-"; not mat tooner Lecauso imptovementS in the House wero not completed., ~,TSilt;.>: vote for these improvements was Joiado ~ in September, and the Improvements had been under the. direct eye.bf the-! ■ Minister of Public Works. HeJ'traßte*,: i other public works in the colony were not ' so far bact.

Those votes tad' been pnt on the Estimates by pressure 'of. members on the Government, and had" been placed by them merely to enable them to fceep their seats. (Applause.) , Hi, quoted as an instance "the visit ;pf^ibjg|l Minister of Lands to Wakatlpiu 'Li a, dinner at Qneeostown, at which the Minister was present, the Con Sty Ch*lr«;!S:| man referred to the exartion, of theil members, and the pressure brought to bear.
