'i nc?e gentlemen are appointed by the Shareholders, and their audit is searching and continuous. For the year ISGS it occupied from eight to nine hundred hours.

ll.—Limitei> Expenditure. The outside expenditure for the General Management of the Company, chargeable to the Life Department, is restricted by the Deed of Settlement to 10 per cent, of the Net Life Premium Income. This is a most important restriction, as the proportion of the Premiums expended for management must largely influence profits and bonuses. 111. — Free Bonus Pui.ioiks. Participating Policy-holders can elect to take advantage of this scheme, which it is believed is entirely original. With most ofiiees the Bonus is attached to the original Policy, and stands or falls with it, but the Queen Bonus Policy is free from any condition whatever, and is payable absolutely at 'he death of the assured, without any reference to the original Policy, so that the holder possesses an absolute reversion of a defined market value, capable of being at any time converted into cash. IV. —NUN-FORFEITURE OK POLICIES lIV TUB ISSUE OK FitEEPaid-ur Policies. If a person, after having been Assured for three years under the ordinary whole life scale, at any age up to and inclusive of fifty-five, should wish to discontinue paying his Premiums, the "Directors will issue a Policy for the amount of the Premiums paid, together with any Bonus that may have been added, and free from any further payment whatever. This feature secures not only a provision in the event of premature death, but a remedy—long desired—should the payment of the Premium become an inconvenience. V.—PoLieiFrf Indisputable after ueinu Fivk Years in Force. All ordinary Queen Policies without exception, on which the age of the Assured has been admitted, are at the end of five years from their date absolutely indisputable the only condition being the punctual payment of the Premiums, with any extra Premium th.it may be eligible for Foreign residence in cases where whole world license may not have been obtained. Bonns at last valuation, :tlst December, ISGS, aver aged over 40 percent, of the premiums paid by the Assured, and in some cases rose to per cent. The Queen allows Bonuses to be applied according to any one of the following three modes : — 1. By increasing the amount Assured. 2. By n payment in Cash. 3. By reducing the future Premiums. In addition, the option of a Free Bonus Policy. .}. TONSON GARLICK, Agent for the Province of Auckland. Boots and Shoes.
