rpHE Rates of Premium now in force in this _I_ Office are lower than those charged to par- ticipating Policylioldei-3 by auy other OlUce doing business in the Australasian Colonies. It is nevertheless anticipated that, owing to cheap management aud light mortality, very handsome bonuses will become payable to Policyholders insuring under existing rates. That this is not & mere estimate may be judged from tho fact that, under the old scale of premiums, from which co;/i- varalively littlevrofit tvas expected to accrue, no less than £242,000 of CASH SURPLUS, or nearly 25 per cent, of the whole accumulated fund at that date, was found to have accrued during the quinquennium ended the 31st December, 1885. Of this arnouut £150,000 was divided, and the balance carried to reserve. All Participating Policies are entitled, on be- coming claims, to a Prospective Bonus in accord- ance with the amount of premiums paid since the preceding distribution. Thus, the advan- tages of an annual distribution are secured with- out the heavy cost attaching thereto. F. ■\V. FRANKLAND, F.1.A., 11] Commissioner and Govt. Actuary.
