The above Directors are entrusted with tht organisation of tho Company, and have power to frame the Articles of A»sociation, and to register the same. They will provide 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 subscribed for £1000 cash interest in the Company, and have undertaken its formation as a thoroughly Coloninl institution, with head-quarters in Wellington. One-half only of the shares w'H be immediately issued, and the Directors having already apportioned a considerable number in securing- a largo amount of support, are propared to placo tho available balance for Wellington with persons whose business or influence is calculated to bo valuable to the company. Adequate proportions of the first half of the capital are reserved for the other parts of the colony, and will there be allotted by the Directors upon a similar principle, in the mutual interests of all concerned. The Company having thus secured a large amount of support, and being able to oflbr to the public the guarantoe of ample cash capital, will commence business, the whole of the remaining 100,000 shares being reserved for allotment in successive issues to actual insurers with the Company in proportion to the insurance premiums paid by them. Several of the Directors have had experience of the great advantages of mutuality in connectiou with tho most successful Life Association existing, and, after long consideration, the Board are satisfied that the present proposal comprehends the most practical embodiment of that principle applicable to Fire and Marine business. NOTICE. Subscriptions for a large number of shares, carrying pledges of material support, having been arranged, the Directors are compelled to require positive assurance of intention and capacity to bring business before making further arrangements, excepting in regard to matters yet in negotiation. In addition to a fair proportion of the flrnt 1 issue reserved for small insurers, the 100 Ut'O shares rt taiued in hand will further secure', on the definite and equitablo basis of mutuality proposed, the interests ot the small insurers, whose support affords the best guarantee of business strength. Business people, householders, and others having insurablo property, can make inquiries at the temporary offices (Panama Chambers, [ate Ledger's) from the Secretary or Assistant Secretay previous to arrangements being made for tho receipt of thoir applications, which will be done as soon as possible.
