Mr. Plums thottaht the decrease in the number of
weeks' sickness very satisfactory. It was a matter
actuaries regerd, d a. very important, and he was very
glad to see the tide rending in ilia direction. Of
mums the atonal amount of sick pay must depend os
the ruts for which members had insured. The
decrease in the duration of the sickness showed be
hoped that the surgeons were exceedingly careful in
not allowing members to actin sick pays day longer
than wee absolutely netnewary. That was a matter of
the utmost importenoe to the society, and it was •
thing in which all the memhers of tas different
branches should show an interest by booking after the
lick brethvo and reduain• the sob relief to the
utmost. If they did not allow companion to enter
into the matter, but only strict justio., he thought
they would have a very fair Mance at the next
going-moon' return of having • bonus thro ea beck to
mob member. If the benefit members would be true
to the satiety, the 'unity would be true to them.
Mr. Doyle: They ought only to esprit it on those
conditions,
Mn, BINGHAM said he had male a little celonlation of
some interest. Mr. lavis and himself were mound of
being very ungallant to the ladle., but old experieooe
taught them not to he very food of female members,
and therefore he did not break hid heart when Is
found the duress, in that ollau Int 'ear. They lost
13 females, and gained 6 males. He analysed the
sickness during the year of the mans and the female.,
and found there were 6110 weeks 5 days to diVidll
amongst 671 a •lire, giving 63 days to each ; and 479
weeks 1 day amongst 35 ferules, or 95 days to each:
stowing in round numbers two mouths' sickness to the
males, and three months' to the females.
Mr. DAVIS proposed that Kr. Williams be no-elided

Mr. BIIRHEID said as regarded consumption they
had • cam now in the Gillingham branch where • female
member of a family died of sonsuiaptloo, but it had not
been experienced Wore amonest them on either the
father', or mother's side. He asked the purist of the
young man proposal aa a member to speak to the
doctor epecally about it. sad the surgeon made •
special remark on the proposal paper ab int It. He
thought the mere (ant of one of a family dying of con-
sumption where there was no apparent tendency to tin
disuse on either the father's or mothee's side, should
not weigh very moth. In referent» to the unomat of
the sick pay, he guartiosed whether the redaction of
pay had been man:wady looked after in cane whoa
members were able to do partial work. fie thought it
worth while that this ohms of the object Mould be
mere looked into. There wee mono. Ming he wished

Members who weee Wooed to join under the pension
table as well as for siek pay, ountributed at a lower rata
for maker Moeda than those who joined for them only;
but some, after beteg in the satiety a Mtn time,
dropped the punka contributions, but still pad oaths

either continue at tho rate at which they joined, or
what dropping the possiou, go to the higher end..
