THE ELEVENTH ANNUAL RAL
MET-
ING of THE CITY OF GLAS LIFE ASSURANCE
AND REVERSIONARY COM Y was held in the Com-
pany's Office, in Glasgow, o uesday, the 26th March, 1850.
as provided by the A of Parliament, constituting the
Company.

ANDREW STEIjeNSON DALGLISH, Esq., Chairman
the Board, in the Chair.

The Nanage eid a Report hy the Directors on the affairs of
the Compan sat 15th January, 1850, when the Beoks were
closed, giving details of the Assurances effected during the
year then ended, also embodying the results of the FIFTH
ANNUAL BONUS INVESTIGATION which had been insti-
tuted as at that date, and showing the position of the Com-
pany's business in all its departments. From the Report it
appeared that a large and satisfactory amount of new Assu-
rances had been opened since the last Meeting—that the Funds
of the Company are securely and advantageously invested—
that the REVENUE FROM PREMIUMS exceeds
£31,000 PER ANNUM—
that the SUMS ASSURED are close upon
ONE MILLION STERLING;
and that the Company's progress has in all respects, during the
last year, been such as to warrant the Directors in stating,
that few Offices hold out more immediate and lasting advan-
tages to Assurers than those offered by this Company.

A Bonus addition, for the year ending 19th iandary, 1850,
Of ONE AND A HALF PER CENT. on the sums assured, was
declared on all Policies opened on the participation scheme,
with the option to the Policy-holders, if they prefer it, of receiv-
ing in Cash the value of the Bonus addition, instead of having
it added to their Policies—the effect of this being, if the cash
value is taken, TO EFFECT A LARGE REDUCTION FROM THE
ANNUAL PREMIUM. It was noticed in the Report, that the
system of an Annual Declaration of Bonus, first adopted by
this Company, is daily becoming more appreciated by the
Public, and that the peculiar advantage which it offers OF
ADMITTING POLICY-HOLDERS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PRO-
FITS THE FIRST YEAR THEY ENTER, is evidently such as to
entitle this Company to a preference.
The Meeting unanimously adopted the Report, and then
proceeded to the election of three Ordinary Directors, in place
of those who retire by rotation.

GEORGE BAIRD, Esq,, Gartsherrie,
JAMES MUIRHEAD, Esq., Goldsmith, Glasgow,
