Ho, o'dds'i—" Dni|ra»'>{'j ing to the pttntcd accounli of eociation to see how' the expense rate will be likolv to wi(»lwr|3' future profits. I find that; tho, iHvhiidMK tvvenue for 1900 wan about oWtf)m& of which about 25 per cent. wie'ljiwM; in expenses. It followe, that, if the rate of expend be co 15 por cent, for the firtt saving of, say, £24,000 will bo fit&m «d. Of course the. promium from tilie M.L.A. policies year by year Vrill 'be a }M amount, owing to deaths, et«.'» the othor hand the ' liability likewise reduced ac policies droji do that while the premiu* income'WiOpM wliicli the saving is-to,he will be stcndily getting iinatltfM there - will be fewer P°h*fc|l holders to share tl«j; eavine, ' **fp therefore I think future envintfieslM bo estimated. by Resuming a> amount ac premium revenue.- Oil *MJ[M assumption, the earing >in tha i vjmmi years after the firet would be £9bfrpM per annum, increased to £86,000 annum, thereafter.
