REPORT of the DIRECTORS to the ORDI-
NARY GENERAL MEETING of MEMBERS of the
ENGINEERS, MASONIC, and UNIVERSAL MUTUAL LIFE
ASSURANCE SOCIETY. 1850.
The Directors have to report that during the year 1850 392 Pro-
posals for Assurance have been submitted to the Board, of which
323, assuring the sum of 85,5251., and producing Anneal Premiums to
the amount of 2,9621. 15s. 5d., have been completed. The Directors
have deemed it prudent to decline 31 Proposals for the sum of
14,8001., and 38 for the sum of 15,1001. stand over for the completion
or further consideration.
The number of claims from death during the year has been five,
and the amount paid upon these, and upon the claims which arose
in December, 1849, is 2,2501. In all cases, when requested by the re-
presentatives, Immediate payment has been made, subject to the
usual discount. There are not, at the present time, any claims upon
the Society.
The annual income derivable from premiums alone upon the
1,174 policies completed to the 31st Dec., 1850, is 1'7,8761. Is. 4d.
The Directors feel great pleasure in being enabled to submit this
very satisfactory statement, which cannot but enlist from the
public increased favour for the Society, and with the continued aid
of the mem hers must advance its prosperity.
By order of the Court of Directors.
