afford. The combined principle of action whereby the
company deals in the land, and the society develops the
estates by buildingadvancceet know working aucoendully.

pany (Limited), the board hasmuch pleasure in announc-
ing that from the 30th of September the quarterage tees
have been reduced to le. per sshhaarree per annum, as a contri-
bution towards the working expenses of the society. The
Conservative Land Society has the attributes of a Savings

attended the Conservative Land Society for the previous
sixteen years.
