The directors draw special attention to the fact thet the
next bonus valuation will take place at the end of the year
1872, and that all polices effected on the profit scales ptior
to the 31st December, 1869, will be 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 the auspices of the Briton. The direc-
tors believe that tlaeotablishment of a Fire Company, to
work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much
to the advantage and profit of botti institutions. It is
scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and
constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct.
