The difficulties with which the industrial classes have to contend in the acquisition of landed property in this colony, where large capitalists are allowed by the existing laws to acquire immense teiri-tork-s, and with whom it woul 1 be of no avail for men of small means to compete, makes it imperative on the people to acquire land by means of a combined effort, while there is any left which can be purchased, and enable every industrious individual, posessed of littlo capital, to have a chanc* of making a home for himself and family. Educational and Church Committees will be relieved from the very grave anxiety which in many instances weighs heavily upon them, by knowing that there is a Special Bask which will give them assistance without having to pay the exorbitant interest which. is the rule in these matters, and especially Educational Committees will be gradually relieved from all anxiety on pecuniary matters aa the yearly endowment, increases. The advantages to the Catholic community cannot be over estimated when it is considered that by merely placing their savings in this Company instead of the Post Office or other Savings Banks they will get a higher late of interest, and be the means of providing a first-^lass education for their children, while the security — being the land purchased and the uncalled capital — will be undoubted. In many communities in the Australian Colonies Catholics have come forwatd with their money to relieve Church Committees, and have It ft their deposits without interest for a certain time. Such is not requiied in this case. Investors can dispose of their shares in the ordinary manner of pubic companies, which will bear the dividend rate of interest, which in similar institutions has been very high. The promoters have under offer blocks of land from 10,000 to 200,000 acres, which can be acquired at very low rates The Promoters aie prepared to show that although guided by philanthropic motives, they are assured from experience iv landed property transactions that the Company, as a commercial one, is thoreiurhlv sound, as it is well known thut private individuals have amassed immense fortunes by the purchase and sale of lauded pioperty in the colon;'. It is intended to register the Company and establish an office ia Wellington so soon as 5,000 Shares have been taken up, and Branches or Agencies in Auckland, Dunedin, Christchurch, Wanganui, and at other centres of population, which will be guided by the number of I Shares held by such Districts.
