Some weeks ago the owner, a wall known'lady music hall artiste. went away to Spain to talce up an engagement there. The porter of the building in which the flat was situated was told by the lady to admit no one to her rooms under any circumstances during her ab- sence. About. a week after she had gone the porter received a letter, purporting to come from the tenant, and informing him that. she was forwarding a large antique cabinet and would be glad it“ he would see it safely lodged in her flat. A few (lays later the cabinet arrived and was placed in the rooms. When the lady returned home she touml to her dismay that the better part of her port- able property. including jewellery :0 lhe'valuo of $2,500 had vanished.

It will be readily understood that some of tiie causes which I have mentioned have tended to increase the cost of assurance, and others to impair the sources from which profits formerly accrued. The shareholders who provided the paid-up and additional guarantee cap- "nl vior security to policy-holders when such a provision was necessary have in no way encroachcd upon the profits to policy-homers, but have much less in return for their cash investment than the average rate of interest earned uy the Company on investments. Your Directors have always endeavored to the best of their ability to se- lect safe as well as profitable investments for the funds entrusted to their care and -the securities held will bear the most. rigid inspection. Your Directors decided to erect a first-class office building on the very desirable site owned by the Company and situated on the north-west comer cf James and Main Streets, to meet the Company’s requirements. Competitive plans were obtained for a steel frame fireproof building of eight storeys. Ten- ders were received and a contract let for the construction ofâ€" such a building, to be completed in August next. We are confident that the building will prove to be a satisfactory investment, affording a reasonable return in office rentals as well as desirable offices for the headquarters of the Company. Lieut.-Col. Kerns seconded the motion, which was unanimously carried. The retiring Directors were reelected. and at a subsequent meeting of the Directors Mr. David Devter \\'.":- rte-elected President and Managing Director.. Lieut.-Col Kerns and Her. he. :1: ea: re-clected Vice-Presidents. The profits to the policy-holders l‘au been maintained in so far as it was possible to do SO‘in the race or the inioads thereon from various sources, which may be sumarmed as follows: The increased cost of new business ow- ing to the methods adopted by competitors. particularly some of the American companies; the toes and taxes charged and levied by Provincial Governments; the greater privileges and advantages granted to the policy-holder under the modern policy contract.
