Btb. The Promoters, in placing the foregoing foe's before the people of this Colony* desire to point out the-very'great disadvantages that colonists are sure to labor under by lending—or rather giving—such a large p.um of money;as stated above to foreign Banks, to bfe lent back to the people here nt very*high rates of interest, and on most arbitrary conditions. They therefore have no hesitation in suggestipg the prudence and wisdom of; the colonists keeping within their; own domain the absolute control of their own moneys ; as by so doing they will most effectually destror the risk of future monetary disturbances, which they havo had on more'than one occasion to deplore in the past, brought about solely by some crisis that has occurred in one or other of the Australian Colonirs, .where the real interests of the foreign Bank most 1 strongly take root. • . 9th. Ifc has;.been, determined by the promoters that the first issue of 200,000 shares shall be conducted by committees, to bo appointed severally in the chief city of each, province, erid^no shares will be given or reserved to the promoters; but each member of the Provisional Committee is willing to become a subscriber for tho number,'of shares standing opposite his name.* • . lOih. It is proposed at the issue of shares above referred to that 5s pev share be, paid on application; that 10a per share be pnid on allotment; that a call of Ss per share be made arid payable two months after allotment ; that a second call of os per share be, rxade and payable four months after allotment; and that a third call of 5s per share bemade andpaynble six montusafter allotment —making together 30s paid up per share. No further call to be made within twelve months of the Bank first commencing business in Dunedin ; after which future calls will riot exceed 5s per' share, nor be made atehorter intervals than three months between each, cahV 11th. The Act of Incorporation for this Bank will be so framed as to limit the liability of the shareholders to twice the amount of their Bhorea, the same as the other Banks. 12th: As a thoroughly colonial institution, the promoters have much pleasure in strongly recommending "The Coxokiai Bank op Hew ZejUakd " to the support of all colonists having the. real welfare of New : Zealand at hearts. Such an institution is "much wanted.at the present time, and as tlia development of the colony proceeds, its usefulness will also increase, and be more and more appreciated, both as an investment for the savings of the people, and as a useful Bank. Judging from tho influence and sound experience possessed by tho promoting members of committep, it is certain that no similar institution has ever yet been launched in the Southern Hemisphere under better auspices. A deputation of Provisional Directors -will visit Auckland in a few days for the purpose of * co-operaiir.g with a local Provisional Committee; Meantime forms of application for shares may be obtained, and applications may be lodged with the "Union Bank of Australia and Bank of Australasia.. .
