1t is we'll known practice of some
| companies to make extraordinary efforts
| during the closing months OF the year
to write large volumes of insurance by
| holding out to their agents offers of
| bonuses and extra alloSvalac es of unusual
| amounts.
This Company has in some previous
| years followed that prevailing custom to
some extent The final result has proved
| that business obtained by other than
sound, conservative methods is not of a
permanent character, and during 1894.
| in accordance with the policy of the
present management OF our Company,
no offers of bonuses or extra allowances
have been made, but we have been con-
tent to accent only such business as our
agents have procured by legitimate
means.
Fully realizing that quality is to be
desired rather than quantity, we shall
continue to conduct the business of our
Company according to the best Judgment
of it's Directors and Officers.
We believe that income from renewal
premiums is the blood of the Com
many. and it's permanent, solid and
steady growth is assured not alone by
increased amounts of insurance written
| from year to year, but more certainly by
the sure and certain increase of premium
receipts.
The receipts from that source in 1899
were 1864, 201. 0S and in 1891 were $685.
552 ~, showing gain OF 25,35l.65.
BUSINESS IN MAINE.
The popularity of our Company at
! home is again demonstrated by the fact
| that a most satisfactory amount of new
business has been written upon the lives
| OF residents of Maine.
| The list of new Policy-holders in this
| ipoJndos many nj orr MON +
| business and professional men, who not
only personally know the Directors and
Officers of the Company, but who are
afforded unusual opportunities Of obtain
| inc an intimate knowledge of the policy
and methods of the management of the
| Company, and in which they have
proved their confidence by placing their
| insurance with the Union Mutual.
ECONOMY OF MANAGEMENT.
AS announced in our last report. we
have conducted our business during 1894
on what we believe to be safe PRINCIPLES
| and BY economic methods, and it gives
MS pleasure to announce that large saw
ines in expenditure have been made in
many departments of the Company.
This policy will be continued, and we
feel assured our Policy-hoders will rec.
ognize that wherever we have been able
| to make reductions in expenditures. they
| have been made with an eve single ia
their best interests

Hon. o. B. Written, commissioner of sea
and shore fisheries, will go to Augusta tocay
TO appear before the fish ard game commit
tee in regard 10 the certain changes which
are needed in the laws governing the sea
and shore fisheries. At present the powers
of the commissioner are very vague and in
definite as is illustrated by his relations to
the wardens. While he approves their bills.
he has practically nothing to say in deter
mining the field of work of the wardens.
They roam at will, sending in bills for SER
vices often that might be performed more
economically by other wardens. A Bidde-
ford warden has been known to go to
Brunswick or Bath. although there were in
those places loo al officers.

NOTICES OF DEATH.

We have maintained our rule to treat
as a liability all Notices of Death re-
oelved during the year. The notices for
1894 covered s452,62S of insurance, a
decrease of S3,372 from the amount re-
ported in 1893. and although on January
/, 1894, the Company had So, 700, 600 more
insurance on it's books than on January
/, 1890, the losses for 1874 were Sl12, $40
less than in 1890. More convincing evil
denoe of the wisdom Of the well known
conservatism of our Company in the Sc
lection of it's risks could not be adduced.
In this connection the following table
will prove interesting:

depression existing throughout the
country has affected the writing of new
business with the result that small poll

there is decrease shown as compared

of the business secured is most excellent.
