ANOTHER LIBERAL REGULATION. PROOF OP AGE. TSTE hare in tho past disposed of the bug- / f bear of u Proof of Age *' by getting the member, immediately after receiving hia Policy, to furnish whatever evidence he can, e p., in default of copy of the liogistor of his Birth, an extract from Family Bible or other record, a Declaration by one of his -parents or other relative able to make one as to date of birth, or any document supporting his own statement. Failing all those, we have accepted the Member’s Statutory Declaration ; and so far, wo admit, our practice has been that of moat other Mutual Life Offices in Australasia. • We have now pleasure in announcing that the Board have authorised our going a step further by undertaking the task of searching for evidence of age lor every proponent who cannot himself produce it. Most of our now members are Australian born, and as Registration of Births has boon compulsory since 185 G, we do not anticipate much trouble in obtaining their Birth Certificates ; still loss for those born in'the United Kingdom; in fact, wo have pursued ihia plan for some years past whenever tho assured so requested, and doubtless our contemporaries have done the same. The difference henceforth will bo that we shall charge ourselves with the duty of seeking for evidence of age, instead of throwing the onus of it on the members.
