Tta, LT1,M.7.-aL anrrrs..LL rsnavrix,rol —e 41., CI OC,
held at Edinburgh, on Tuesday theist of May, when the following
REPORT by. the Directors was,read and unanimously approved
of:—
Id rewriting.. to this, the Twen:y.fonrth Annual General Meeting
of the Society, the Directors are happy to hare it in their power to
announce ;he continued prosperity of,the Institution.
During the year closed on Ist March last, the businass-has.been
as follows

628 PollCies have been ismer'.
The Sums Assured thereby amount to .2SP67Cf;
nd the Annual Premiums thereon to .49,041..

The business thus transacted somewhat exceeds'that of the-pre-
vious yenr;:.and when regard is had to the depressed state of
trade during the last twelve months, and other influences conse-
quent oa the.war, unfavourahle- 'so Life Assurance, andalso when
the numerous rival Institutions which have arisen,..and• are in
operation in• England. are kept in view, the Directors see much
reason to congratulate the Members on the position which the
Society basso successfully maintained.
NM-et?, Members of the Society.hsve died duriaglaskyear and
the claims,which have thereby arisen, amount, including. ;9,424
of Bonus Additions, to 67,894. Ibis sum, .though. large, is
greatly within the amount reckoned to arise arc,ording., to the
Table of Mortality on which the calculations of • the • Society
proceed..
The of the Society at Est March was as.follnws,---
Existing Assurances,
Annual Revenue,.... ............... 163,394 i
And the Accumulated Fend -is increased to 910,841
showing • an, increase of .t-'10,500, in the Anntud. Revenue and of
upwards-of &7},000 in the Accumulated Fund: during. Ale past
year.
The Directors have already adverted to the increased. competi-
tioa in Life Assurance, and they would remind. their fellow-mem-
hersthat; while this adds to the difficulty.of obtaining bask-less, it
ought also to increase the erlOrts made for that purpose, not
merely by Officers and Directors, but by every person connected
with our Society. It is surely not too much to expect that, with
proper care and energy, the superior cipints of an,old.C•iffice, with
ar,e•Accarattlated Funds, end the asstrance otliberal Additions
tn•r)o..i lcies,o•ught to be fully recognised by the public-.
The Directors with much satistaction state,jhconchation, their
having no reason to doubt that the Bonus which. falls to be de-
clared at the next Triennial,investigation, a•twelverstanth hence,
will equal that made at the allocation of 12,
