Your Directors, howâ€" ever. have will been tempted to depart from the policy which has marked the past management. It will, therefore. be all the more pleasing to note the large amount of new business secured. as well as the gratifying indications ofl progress which a persual of the stateâ€" ments. will afford, the. more so that. this has been done. with a decreased ratio of expenses to income. Including .1 few deferred cases at the close of- 1895. we have had "1,058 appli- cations for assurances amounting to $3,286,996; of these 1.95:! for $3,111,046 were, approved and 106 for $175,950 were. declined. Including bonus additions. the total new: business written for 1896 was 1.951 policies for $3,131,995. The total business on the hooks 0n Decemâ€" ber 31 was 18,253 policies for $27,560,423 on 15,978 lives. . The claims by death. while less in number than in the previous year, called for a larger amount. as it hap- pened that several large policies beâ€" came claims. There were. ninety‘nine deaths, Calling foir 523213.487 under 114 policies. Of these nine deaths, calling for 341.000, were. accidental. There. Were reassturances to the amount of $213,328 which reduced the net claims to $200,159. The foregoing will show that the Directors comtinltie to exercise the greatest care in admitting only good lives. . The usual financial statements ac- company the report. and will be found to exhibit the condition of the. associaâ€" tion at the close of the year. The Auditors have continued to give strict attention totherluties of their department. making their wudit from mouth to month as formerly. Their report will be found appended to the financial statements. A perusal of the report and state~ intents will show the following satisfac- tory evidences of progress:â€"â€" . (l) A satisfactory volume of new business secured by purely business methods and at a fair cast. (2) A satisfactory increase in the total insurance in force. (3) A satisfactory increase in in- come. both from prcmiunis and inter- fish. (4) A large increase in the assets. (5) A gratifying increase. in sur- plus. notwithstanding the payment out to policyholders during the. year of the large. sum of over $82,000 for pro. fits. (6) A decreased to income. The Directors. realizing that the. rate of interest obtainable on good invest- ments may be considered as permanâ€" ently lowered. gave careful considera- tion tothe Iateofinterest to be em- ployed in circulating the policy and annuity obligations of the Association, and as a. result decided in use a rule. of 31â€"21 per cent. for all the business written subsequent Ito Deoeinber 31.. 1895, instead of A 1-2, as fornii-riy.
