Extracts from the Report of the Directors, presented at
the Artual General Meeting held on the 27th November,
1808 :-
1. The sum of £112,345 was proposed for Assurance, of
which £307,895 was completed at Premiums pro-
ducing £10,067 per Annum.
2. The amount paid under Claims by death was £100,8Q3,
being the smallest since 1860, whilst the expenses of
management and all other outgoings were even less
than for many years past.
3. On the other hand, the Income was raised to £219,769,
notwithstanding that its increase was retarded by
abatements of premium which did not take effect in
the previous year, and by the cessation of interest on
the large sum paid as Bonus in 1867.
4. The Surplus income was very considerable. It
amounted to £93,152, a sum exceeding by more than
£B,OOO any previous Surplus during the forty-four
years of the Society's existence,
5. The Accumulated Fund was thereby increased to
£1,598,906.

The following are among the distinctive features of the
Society :
CREDIT SYSTEM.—On any Policy for the Av. ole of
Life, where the age does not exceed Gil, one-half of the
Annual Premiums during the past five years may remain
on cred*t.
ENDOWMENT ASSURANCES may be effected,
without Profits, by which the Sum Assured becomes pay-
able on the attainment of a specified age, or at death,
whichever event shall first happen.
