ACTUARY-4 T. Clement, Esq.
At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a bonus to the
Life Policies equal to 25 per cent. on the sums paid, and a bonus of
5 per cent. was added to the Shares, in addition to the payment of
the annual interest.
For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a specific sum,
without a prospective bonus, a new table at lower rates has bees
calculated, on which, as well as on the participating scale, one-half
the premium may remain on interest at 5 per cent. for five years,
thus enabling a person to insure Isis life for 1,0001. on the immediate
payment of the premium for 5001. only.
The following are the annual Premiums for the Assurance of 1001.
for the whole Life, one-half of which may remain for five years by
merely paying the interest annually at five per cent. ; and should
the Policy become a claim in the interim, the amount due will then
be deducted.
