millions Of dollars, have made no assessments, &
had at the date Of the last report balance in Ia
vor Of the Company, MAY Is, l847) OF $780,
IL. The increasing business and increasing cash
fund warrants the belief that no tax upon their

mauy years. If ever, on account Of the large and
increasing fund now in the treasury 10 meet any
losses that may occur, and the peculiar caution
they adopt in the rejection of applications, on
property in large villages and other places where
