p ROSPE C T V S or the ;■ SOUTHLAND STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY (Limited). (To be incorporated under tbo Joint Stock Com* panies Act.) Capital, £25,000, in 5,000 Shares op £5 Each. ' Provisional Directors : T. Pratt David Hunter John Kingeland j. T. Martin Wm, M'Leod J. H. Smith R. Tapper H. T. Ross Robert Cleave D. L. Matbeson W. H. Hall Dn. M'Arthur Joseph Hatch. The objects of the Company are to provide by || local enterprise and capital one or more (in Tj accordance with the growth of the district) steam \ 1 vessels to perform our own coasting trade, with " suitable accommodation for the passenger 1 traffic. ' . I) It is intended that the whole of the capital ■ should be subscribed in the'immediate neighbourhood of Invercargill and adjoining localities, including Riverton, Campbelltown, Queenstown, Nokomai, Switzers, and Mataura districts, the intention being io trade between the three firstnamed ports and Dunedin. The promoters have been induced to float this Company, being alive to the fact that during the last twelve months the steamers Storm Bird and, Wahabi have been running regularly in our coasting trade, carrying our own freights to and fro, as also passengers belonging to'and doing business in the immediate district, and now strongly urge the residents of the district to provide for and retain the profit of their own trade. Already the project having beefi brought before the mercantile interest and capitalists of Invercargill at a public meeting, the whole of those interested in the district have intimated their intention of support by unanimous resolution. The success which has already attended other Local Steam Shipping Companies in this and the neighbouring colonies (it being an indispensable adjunct to trade and commerce), combined with increasing direct shipments from home, consequent upon late alterations in the tariff, and the rapid strides the export timber trade is making, support the promoters in the confidence of unqualified success. _ ■ The wool and grain growers are particularly invited to co-operate —the former as giving them extra opportunities to place their staple on board the first ship loading for London, and the latter enabling them often to secure the best market from which formerly they have barred. Until the Directors see the necessity of another boat (or extending their operations beyond those now contemplated) it is not intended to call up more than forty shillings per shai’e in payments as follows :—Five shillings on application; five shillings on allotment; and the remainder at intervals of not less than three months —-in call* of ten shillings each. Applications for shares, which the Directors are desirous should be diffused over as large a number of residents as possible in the districts previously referred to, can be made to JOSEPH HATCH, Interim Secretary.
