A Devonport, 22nd May, 1896. rpo THE POLICYHOLDERS NEW ZEALAND GOVERNMENT LIFE INSURANCE ASSOCIATION. . < Gentlemen, —Ppincr a candidate for election to the ) Central 8.ar.1, I have the tumour to solicit your support in favour of mv candidature. Without »etting forth my reasons In detail I desire to say tiri' fly that the position of a iiomin member r la to niß an unsatisfactory position. One year's ex- t i pi-ricn o in connection with the i rooccdings of the i Board has convinced me that for one who <1,-sires to effect the greatest pos>ible am unt of good for 'ho i Policyholders, for one who desires to tie ent rely free ' i and unfettered—it is escntial that he should be an elected member of the Hoard. i I feel that 1 should be greatly to blame if, for tha i purpose of gaining support I wire to make any statement retarding the proceedings of tlie Hoard which [ could ill any degree tend to injure the busitie»s of the Association. I have too great a refjur I for til welfare of tlm Association to do that; but at the s.une time I fuel hound to say, in general terms, that many of its J transactions luve bin of a very unsatisfactory J character. This I attribute ••boost entirety to the defective constitution of 'lie Hoard. ' Tines proposals ntfestin>.' the constitution of the Board will in r. few days be submitted to the Policyholder. and upon these they will lie cal'ed upon to vote. They are (1.) To hand the Asso, iat'on beck to the Government. Totliis lam very much opposed, as the hu.'ioess of the Association lias, lan g!»d to ) say, begun to asume the lines of a coin me r.-ial undertaking. To take :t hack to tho "oflieial" groove of a , Government department would to my mind, be a retrograde step. (2.1 To create a Hoard consisting ( 1 of »hr e elected members and thr"e official members | * —the ."cerctary of the Treasury, the Solicitor-General , r and tho Public 'I rusteo— the Government to appoint- j one of tlie.'e oilieial members to he chairman. I enn not see that such a !1 aid would in any respect he un improvement- upon the existing Hoard, as it would still contain the objection 'hie ofliml element, and would leave the door open to the exorcise of political patronage (3.) To create a Hoard of seven members four to bo elected and three nominated, but the nominated members not to Government cfliclals. The Hoard to elect its uwn chairman I am strongly in favour of this last proposal, which ' is the suggestion of Mr. Kish'-r—l eesus", while it : . gives to the Government a fair proportion of ropre- J sentation, it »lso givps to the Policyholders some rjal ' power of con'vol. The main object to lie aimed at is ' to place the »ft' airs of the Association-.upon a purely ' business lasis, and this end would, I think, be ' attii;io d tiy tho < arryinir of Mr. Fisher's propo sis. I Should you do me tho honour to accord mo jour sit: pott I return you my earnest assurance that no ( oft' rt. will lie **nti->g on my pnrt to s.ecure the beat possible results for tie IV lic.yliolders as a body. I have the honour to be, Yours obediently. G V. SHANNON. Business Cards. , • m ff ILL IA M ERRING T0 N T » CONSULT!
