296,71I47, and collect,Q premiums
amounting TO s3,3i7. .290.42. At the

3o3,1s7.55, incurred losses during tho
year amounting to sl,2l3.sl47l. and
collected premiums amounting to 49,

the volume Of business increased cor
slderably, there was very small in
crease in the losses incurred, which
might be taken to indicate a decided
improvement in the state Of public
health, or a disinclination to die
among persons who are carrying life
