OSRELIMINARY Jjj-OTICE. [By Telegraph.] the COLONIAL INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW ZEALAND (To be Registered under the Joint Stock Companies Act). FOR FIRE 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. Cn airman : The Hon. C. J. Pharazyn, M.L.C., (Chairman of the Local Board of the Australian Mutual Provident Society). Tick-Chairman: The Hon. Randall Johnson, M.L.C. (Managing Director of the Northern Land and Loan Company). Directors : Jacob Joskph. Esq., Merchant. A. De B. Brandon. Esq., M.H.R., (Local Director of tho Australian Mutual _:____•,* Provident Soei.ty). 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 be Hereafter 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. They will proviae 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 subs.ribed for £1000 cash interest in the Company, and have undertaken its formation as a thoroughly Colonial institution, with head quarter, iv Wellington. One-hslf only of the shares will be immediately 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 proportion 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 issue-a to actual insurers with the Company in proportion to the insuraucc 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 tho determination of the Directors to retain one half of the total capital for future allotment to aelual insurers upon a definite and equitable basis. . Several of tho Directors have had experience of the great advantages of mutuality in connection with the most successful life association existing; and, af'ev lens consideration, the Board are satisfied that the present proposal comprehends the moat practical embodiment of that principle applicable to Fire and Marine business. The Directors, therefore, calculate upon tho 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 secure a large amount of business ; and that the Company will havo tne sympathies of the public as a strong colonial institution, holding oneu its doers to all insurers upon a mutual principle, and yet backed by large capital, security, and business. The companies hitherto formed havo been uniformly successful. The rapid progressof the colony fully warrants the foundation of a similar institution in it 3 apital city. The Directors have been iustifled in thinking that the shares would be favourably regarded, and it was in that view, now fully confirmed, that they decided in the interests of insurers iv 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 th© Association will be similar to whatever may be current from time to time. For Directors of Colonial Insurance Company FRED. A. GRAHAM, Secretary. MRS.
