WELLINGTON METHODIST CHARITABLE AND
EDUCATIONAL TRUSTS AMENDMENT BILL

NOTICE OF PRIVATE BILL

THE Board of the Wellington Methodist Charitable and
Educational Endowments incorporated under the Wellington
Methodist Charitable and Educational Trusts Act 1916
(Private), gives notice of its intention to apply for leave
to bring into the House of Representatives the above-titled
Bill the objects of which are as follows:

First, to alter the ending of the financial year of the
Board from the last day of December to the last day of
June in each year and thus correspond more closely with
the annual Conference of the Methodist Church to which
the Board makes annual report.

Secondly, to extend the present powers of sale which
with the approval of the Methodist Conference are restricted
to sale by auction or public tender to enable the Board
subject to the approval of the said Conference to sell land
in such manner and on such terms as the Board thinks
fit. The proceeds of sale are to be available for purchase
by the Board of any other estate freehold, leasehold, or
stratum in New Zealand either in the Board's own name
or jointly with any other agency of the Methodist Church.
The proceeds may also be used in making permanent improvements upon other land of the Board or in the execution
of works of subdivision development or improvement of
any such land held by the Board or may be invested on
deposit with any Savings Society or Trust established by or
with the consent of the Methodist Conference.

Thirdly, the purposes of the Bill are to extend the powers
of investment of the Board's money in investments authorised
under the Trustee Act 1956, or in securities of any company officially listed on the Stock Exchange in New Zealand
which comprise shares, stock or debentures secured or
unsecured notes but not including such shares, stock
debentures, or notes not fully paid up unless required to
be fully paid within 12 months after the date of issue
nor is investment to be allowed in notes or debentures
in respect of which any liability to make further advances
or payments will remain after the expiration of twelve
months after the date of acquisition. There is a further
restriction on investment in securities of companies unless
the company has a paid up share capital of $1,000,000
or more and if the company has not paid a dividend of
at least 5 percent in each complete financial year within
5 years prior to the date of investment. No investment is
to be made in any company whose business might conflict
with the general rules and usages of the Methodist Church
of New Zealand.

Finally, the Bill makes provision for use of income from
investments in aid of homes, schools, colleges, or other
institutions established or supported by the Methodist
Conference.

The promoter of this Bill is the Board of the Wellington
Methodist Charitable and Educational Endowments whose
address for service of communications or notices is at the
offices of Messieurs Martin, Evans-Scott and Hurley,
