(All other offices charge on age next birthday.) Brd. —The premiums, which are lower than those of any other office doing business in New Zealand, range from age 15. (Most other offices accept risks from poponent 15 years of age, but charge them for the rate at age 20.) 4th. —Prospective Bonuses on a very liberal scale are granted to policies becoming claims, thus securing to policy-holders an Annual Valuttion without incurring the high cost attached thereto. sth.—Liberty to travel anywhere, or engage in any occupation without permission. 6th.—The Government Office does not do business out of New Zealand. The advantage of this is made manifest by the subjoined table of mortality: Queensland (death rate per 1000) 19*58 Western Australia ~ •'.".. 17*61 New South Wales „ ... 16*02 Tasmania ~ ... 15*40 Victoria „ ... 14*73 South Australia „ ... 12*48 New Zealand „ ... 10*61 Attention is respectfully called to the fact that the present rates charged by the Government Office only came in force in 1885, consequently bonuses declared on the old rates, which were much lower, must not be confused with those allotted on present rates.
