The Society can be-considered quite as much a New Zealand as an Australian institution, seeing that all moneys received in the colony are invested here in advance bn mortgage. on. first-olaas freehold securities, loans to members on the security of: their policies. Government debentures, and freehold branch office premises ; and the Society is thns assisting in developing the resources of the colony.
