OTAGO DOCK TRUST.

THE Trustees of the Otago Graving Dock invite tenders for Mortgage Bonds to the amount of £10,000 (in £100 Bonds), to be issued under the authority of “The Otago Dock Debt Trust Act 1872.” Tenders will be received till noon on Thursday, February 20th, 1873, and may be for the whole or a portion of the sum, but the Trustees do not bind themselves to accept the highest or any tender.

These Bonds will have a currency of thirty years from the date of issue; will bear interest at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, and interest and principal will be made payable in Dunedin, or in London, Melbourne, or Sydney, at the option of the purchasers. After 1st November, 1878, they will form a first charge on the property and income of the Trust.

Of the first issue of bonds £36,200 have been deemed by the Colonial Treasurer in accordance with terms of “Defence and Other Purposes Loan Act 1870.” For the remaining liability under that issue the funds have been raised under that Act, and are in the hands of the Colonial Treasurer. The liability of the Trust in respect of these bonds is therefore only nominal.

Further information and copies of the Act may be obtained from the chairman (R. B. Martin), or from the undersigned, at the office of the Trustees, Temple Chambers, Princes street, Dunedin.
