The directors draw special attention to the fact that the
next bonus valuation will take place at the end of the year
1872, and that all polices effected on the profit scales prior
to the 31st December, 1869, will b 3 entitled to participate
in the same.
The directors also draw attention to the successful esta-
blishment during the past year of the Britannia Fire
Association, under tho auspices of the Briton. The direc-
tors believe that the establishment of a Fire Company, to
work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much
to the advantage and profit of both institutions. It is
scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and
constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct.
