REPORT of the DIRECTORS
to the ORDINARY GENERAL MEETING of MEMBERS of
the ENGINEERS, MASONIC, and UNIVERSAL MUTUAL LIFE
ASSURANCE SOCIETY :
The Directors have to report to the Members that, during the year
1852, they have received 333 proposals for assurance, of which 251
have been completed, assuring the sum of 60,380/., and producing
annual premiums to the amount of 1,975/. 1I s. 2d. Forty-eight pro-
posals for the assurance of 15,9001. have been declined, and thirty-
four for the assurance of 7,1501. stand over for completion or further
consideration.
The net income from premiums alone is 10,051/. 15s. Pd , after
deducting short-term, purchased, and lapsed polcies, and those
under which claims have arisen. The amount derived from these
sources since the commencement of the Society's operations has been
4,818/. 2s. 7d., while the claims from death have been but 3,9.01.
The number of deaths among the Members during the past year
has been five, to the amount of 1,200/. ; but the calculations of the
tables, at the average age of the whole of the assured, would have
led to the expectation of fourteen deaths. This result sufficient!; indicates the care and discretion with which the lives have been
selected.
The Directors submit the present Report to the Members with
great satisfaction, feeling that the condition of the Society's business
is in every respect sound ; that the progress at first made with un-
usual rapidity has been continued without interruption, and that
although th, constant efforts of all assured are still required, and
must be steadily persevered in, the position of the office is now con-
firmed, and the future prospects are such as to justify the most
sanguine anticipations that have been at any time expressed.
By order of the Court of Directors,
ANTHONY PECK, Assistant Actuary.
London, 345, Strand, Opposite Waterloo-bridge,
