rtEPORT OF 'THE DIRECTORS FOR 1846, PRESENTED TO
THE ELEVENTH ANNUAL MEETING OF MEMBERS,
HELD AT THE LONDON TAVERN, BISHOPSGA.TE-STREET,
DEC. 16, 1846 ;
CHARLES LUSHINOTON, Esq., in the Chair-
The return of another Anniversary of this Institution affords the
Directors the gratiflcaction of laying before their fellow Members a
highly satisfactory;Report, chewing not only a large Increase of Btal-
nen during the past year, but exhibiting in its various details the
Prosperous condition of the Institution, far exceeding that of any
(Muer period.
It is with feelings of lively satisfaction that the Directors con-
gratulate the Members at large on the high reputation the Institution
holds in public estimation, and on the extensive sphere of usefulness
It has already attained. including, as it now does, 4,372 Members.
This number comprises Members residing in all parts of the country,
and there is every prospect of the number being progressively in-
creased as the benefits of the Society become more and more widely
realized, so that at no distant day it may fully accomplish the design
et its founders, in proving itself a truly National Provident
Institution.
In the course of the year just terminated, the large number of
1,005 Policies have been issued, the Annual Premiums on which
"Mount to 18,4411. ss. 3d. ; and 128 Proposals for Life Assurance
have been deelhied as 111001,1 e.
The accounts have, as usual, been made up to the 20th November
hit; and from the Auditors' Report, the Capital Stock of the
ocelety on that day appears to be 299,6751. 12s. 4d., being sn in-
azease since last year of 58,2141. 19s. Id.
The Annual Income is now 88,940/. Bs. 2d.
The claims paid on account of deaths during the year amount to
15.0001. Is. 4d.
At the close of the ensuing year the assets and liabilities will be
,_nvestlgated by Charles Ansel], Esq., Actuary to the Institution,
for the purpose of apportioning such surplus funds as may have ac-
crued since the last division of profits in 1842 ; and, from the large
hicrease of business since that period, the directors entertain sanguine
expectations of a satisfactory result.
The following statement shows the progress of the institution since
Its commencement:—
