_ Life Assurance ) GOVERNMENT LIFE INSURANCE / DEPARTMENT. .Established 1870. ' EVERY POLICY GUARANTEED BY THE STATE, LOW PREMIUMS and LARGE BONUSES. The aim of this Department .has been to provide Life Insurance at the minimum cost compatible with safety. It does not charge its t policy-holders unnecessarily large premiums in order to enable it subsequently to attract the ignorant, by the glitter of increased bonuses. The premiums which it aharges are the lowest compatible with perfect safety, and are less than the participating rates of any other office doing business in Australasia. In spite of this fact, at the last valuation (December, 1865) the assets of the office were found to exceed the liabilities by no less St sum than £242,000 sterling— result due to economy of manage* ment and low mortality. PRESENT FUNDS over ONE AND A HALS MILLION POUNDS. ANNUAL INCOME exceeds £2300,000. J.
