Mr T. F. Hewat has completed the erection of the Foresters’ Hall.

The enlargement of the Public Hall has been commenced and considerable progress has already been made. A printer's error occurred in Mr J. Vile s letter on the County finances in our issuo of Friday last. The loan fund account should have been stated as £IOOO ill debit instead of £ISOO, and the general account debit £3500 instead of £3OOO. A transposition was the cause of the incorrect reading. As the result of the Bahiatua IfcßALn's agitations one or two changes have been made in mail matters. On and after today mails for the Napier express will close at the local Post Office at 10.45 a.m. daily; a mail for Woodville will also close at the same time. As we have now four daily mails to Woodville it cannot be said Bahiatua is neglected by the Postal authorities.

At a meeting of the Dunedin Master Printers’ Association to consider the Apprentices Dill, it was unanimously resolved that the meeting protest most emphatically against some of the provisions of the Masters and Apprentices Bill, and ask that, before being proceeded with, the Rill should be submitted to employers, and considered by them during the recess, so that their views may be embodied therein, as well as those of employees and the labour unions.

At the Lyttelton Court, Mr Beetham, S.M., gave judgment in a case brought by a local medical man against the sergeant of police to recover a fee for information supplied. It has been the practise of the police for years to obtain such information from a medical man as might help them in Court cases, but the Medical Association being of opinion that the police were going beyond their rights, the present case was brought as a test one. Mr Beetham said it was quite clear it was within the power of medical men to refuse to give such in fermation without payment, but where it had been given for such a long period of time, without charge, none could be made uuless the police were aware they would have to pay. Judgement was given for ths defendant. Table a.r. as an investment. —The attention of our representatives has already been directed to tho amended conditions of this Table as published in 44 The Safest Investment,” recently issued by the Association. The speciai advantages of a policy under Table A R have often been described as an unique combination of life insurance and investment. The Investment part of the scheme mav be illustrated thus:—Age 37. £IOOO, A R 20,

Aunual Premium £4B 10s. Ihe member has an assurance of £IOOO payable at death, with, in addition, a guaranteed cask payment of £970 should be survive for twenty years. The premium as above is £4B 10s. The premium for a whole life assurance, £2B 10s. Difference, being annual investment £2O. Now for this investment of £2O a year, the Association guarantees to pay in cash tho sum of £970 if the life survive for twenty years, or in other words to return the whole of the principal with about 8 per cent compound interest. After receiving this splendid return, the policyholder would then (at age 571 have a whole life policy for £IOOO (with the reversionary bonus accumulations of twenty years added thereto), at an annual premium of only £•4B 10s. whereas the rate under Table A for a first-class life, age 37. would be £Ol 10s. It would be optional with the member to withdraw the whole cash return of £970, or to apply a portion of it to convert ths original assurance of £IOOO into a “ fully paid-up ” policy, and the balance to the purchase of an annuity. The cash return is not an 44 Estimate,” but a definite result guaranteed in the policy contract. Mutual Life Association of Australasia.
