The Barbados Mutual Life
Assurance Society.

TIL inety-ftth report OF the Barbados
Mutual Life Assurance Society sheWS this
valuable corporation to be in as healthy
and as tlOuriShing a condition as its best
friends could desire. An insurance CON-
pany has attained to something like the
perfection of stability when 1T can be said
of it, as has been said of HE Barbados
by an English eXpert-that even the ceS-
SatiOn of new business would not prevent
its meeting all its liabilities, and also Civ
ing good bonuses. The directors had no
trouble in getting their report adopted,
albeit they had to take the vote of the
meeting on some small expression of opin-
ion regarding the agency in Grenada.
The Lite Assurance Fund now stands at
$1,894,470, of which $500, 1879 is invested
in mortgages in real estate in Barbados,
and $3.50, 1871 i'll loans on the S0ciety'S po,
lieies. The small residue is made up of
Water works debentures, Trinidad secu-
rites, Port of Spain bonds, cash at bank
ers, and other items. OF these two main
investments, the latter is absolutely Sc,
cure. With regard to the former, people
in other colonies in which the Company
have agencies, are apt to regard q mort
gage on real estate in Barbados as an in.
veStment as risky as a mortgage ON real
estate in their own land. They DO not
know that real estate in Barbados has a
permanent and reliable value as Il basis
for a loan, which is not to be found in the
best sugar property in Demerara. If a
British Guiana Insurance Company had
One-half of its capital vested in mortga-
geS on sugar estates, we would have no
hesitation in saying that the insurers
would not be properly protected. HAY
ing regard to the mistaken Impressions
to which we have referred, Mr.. Racker at
a special meeting held on the 25th ult.,
proposed a resolution of which he had 81
ven notice, to the effect that a Committee
be appointed periodically, to value the in
veStmerts of the Society. After conSid-
cradle discussion, the meeting, with sound
discretion, adopted the resolution, and
a Committee was accordingly appointed.
Their first report will be received with
attention both in Barbados and in the
~neighbouring colonieS.-DeMcrQra ArgoSy.
