FRIENDLY SOCIETIES (FIFTH REPORT, BY THE REGISTRAR OF).

Presented to both Houses of the General Assembly pursuant to " The Friendly Societies Act, 1877," Section 9, Subsection (6).

KEPOBT. The publication of this report has been delayed on account of the time of the Actuary, who is also the clerk in the office, having been for a considerable time occupied with matters of an actuarial character not connected with the work of this office, but to which he was required by the Government to give his' almost undivided attention, I—BUSINESS OP THE REGISTRY OPPICE. 1. Departmental Work during the Yeah ended 31st December, 1881. Besides the general work of the office, which is similar in character from year to year, tables have been compiled by Mr. P. W. Frankland, the Actuary to the department, on the basis of the quinquennial returns of sickness and mortality, and a report issued by him on the experience thus collected. Extra clerical assistance had to be called in to enable this compilation to be made; the mechanical portion of the work of compilation being accomplished by an extra clerk under the superintendence of Mr. Prankland'. The usual amount of delay has unfortunately arisen in the compilation of the statistical tables of 1881, on account of the difficulty experienced in obtaining satisfactory returns from many of the branches of societies. It is intended, however, to avoid a similar tardiness in future by allowing a much shorter time to elapse before instituting prosecutions against the secretaries of defaulting societies and branches. The Act has now been in operation for a sufficient length of time, and sufficient warning has been given to recalcitrant officers to make a continuance of leniency inexpedient. Notwithstanding the difficulties just referred to, it is a matter for much congratulation that a marked general improvement is manifest in the returns for the year 1881 as compared with those of previous years. As formerly attention has been directed to the generally inferior character of the returns sent, it seems due to the officers of societies and branches who have rendered their returns in a manner satisfactory to the department to specially mention those to whose returns no exception can be taken. The officers of the following societies and branches are especially to be commended for the fullness and neatness of the returns sent:— Manchester Unity Independent Order of Odd Fellows. Hokitika District. Waimea Lodge, situated at Stafford, Otago District. Westland. Howick Lodge, situated at Howick, Dunedin Lodge. Auckland. Ancient Order of Foresters. United Otago District. Court Pride of Alexandra, situated at Court Blenheim. Alexandra (South). This increased care and attention not only renders the value of the returns greater for statistical purposes, but is also an evidence of a deep interest among the members of some of the friendly societies in the work being performed by them, and of their recognition of the benefit accruing to them I—H. 2.

from the administration of the Friendly Societies Act. It supplies an additional ground for hope that the important work which friendly societies are doing in the colony will be more widely and usefully extended. But on the other hand the necessity imposed upon them of making the returns required by the department has been felt by some societies and branches to be a grievance; not that, notwithstanding their complaints to that effect, any unnecessary information has been asked for, for, in confirmation of the action of the department, the secretary of one of the largest societies has stated that nothing has been asked for that should not be kept on record by societies in their own interests or that was unnecessary. Many societies would like to have all the benefits of registration without having to submit to the consequent responsibilities. Some object to the mere labour of making any returns, probably often due to the incompetency of officers; others object to the publication of such returns as would exhibit the financial position in an unfavourable light. It is to be hoped that by degrees these objections will disappear, and that the officers of all societies will realize the true nature and importance of their duties. The ostrich, when hard pressed, does not escape by hiding its head in the sand, nor will concealment of its true position permanently ward off insolvency from any society, although by such a course the existing members may escape the evil consequences, but at the expense of future members who may be induced to join. 2. Societies and Branches Eegistered during the Tear. Nineteen new societies and 51 new branches were placed on the register during the year. Of the 19 bodies which were thus registered as separate societies, only 9 were in reality independent bodies, namely, the Grey Valley Accident Belief Fund, the Invercargill Total Abstinence Society, and 7 Working-men's Clubs. Of the remaining 10, 2 were "districts" or "grand divisions" of friendly societies constituted on the federal or affiliated type (namely, the Ashley District of the Manchester Unity of Odd Fellows, and the Grand Division of New Zealand of the Sons and Daughters of Temperance) ; 7 were "lodges" of the United Ancient Order of Druids; and 1 was a "sanctuary" of the Ancient Order of Shepherds. Although these ten bodies are all of them in reality branches, it was impossible to legally register them as such, because they are none of them in subordination to a superior authority located within New Zealand. Of the 51 bodies registered as new branches during the year, 13 were " lodges" of the Manchester Unity of Odd Fellows ; 1 was a " lodge " of the American Order of Odd Fellows ; 10 were " courts " of the Ancient Order of Foresters ; 7 were " tents " of the Independent Order of Eechabites ; 4 were "(subordinate) divisions" of the Sons and Daughters of Temperance; 15 were "lodges" of the Independent Order of Good Templars ; while one was a " temple" of the same order. Apparently the progress of registration during 1881 has thus not been as rapid as during 1880; but, if the various lodges of the Independent Order of Good Templars, which is not a friendly society, be left out of account in both cases, the progress will be seen to have been more rapid. A list of registered societies, with their registered branches, as on the 31st December, 1881, is given in Schedule I. to this report. The names of "societies having branches" within the meaning o£ section 30 o of the Act— i.e., districts of the affiliated orders, whether or not they have branches registered as such —are given in italics. The progress of registration during the year will perhaps be best indicated by the following comparative table, showing how the various affiliated orders and the isolated societies were represented on the register at its beginning and end : —■

3. Amendments op Eules Eegistered during the Tear. Six bodies have registered complete sets of new rules during the year, in lieu of sets already registered. These comprise a district of the Manchester Unity Independent Order of Odd Fellows, a district of the Independent Order of Eechabites, 3 courts of the Ancient Order of Foresters, and the Christchurch branch of the New Zealand Bailways Employes' Benefit Society. Eleven bodies have registered partial amendments of their rules during 1881. They comprise 2 districts and 2 lodges of the Manchester Unity of Odd Fellows, 1 district and 3 courts of the Ancient

Order of Foresters, 1 division of the Sons and Daughters of Temperance, 1 lodge of the Independent Order of Good Templars, and 1 Working-men's Club. The above list is exclusive of those bodies which, though really branches, had been registered under the Acts of 1856 and 1867 as separate societies, and, in order to obtain registry as legal branches, had to amend their rules. Such bodies are referred to in the next paragraph. 4. Conversion op Eegistered Societies into Branches. Thirteen bodies availed themselves during 1881 of the provisions of section 23 of the Friendly Societies Act for the conversion of their status as separately-registered societies into the more satisfactory status of registered branches. They comprised 6 lodges of the Manchester Unity of Odd Fellows and 7 courts of the Ancient Order of Foresters. The number of branches of registered societies which still retain the independent registry accorded under the Acts of 1856 and 1867 will be seen, from Schedule I. to this report, to be 40. At the rate of conversion which obtained during 1881 it will thus require upwards of three years to expunge from the register the entire list of these anomalous registrations. The 40 branches referred to comprise 20 out of 75 lodges of the Manchester Unity of Odd Fellows, 15 out of 56 courts of the Ancient Order of Foresters, and 5 out of 8 divisions of the Sons and Daughters of Temperance. In addition to these, 1 lodge of the Manchester Unity of Odd Fellows, 1 court of the Ancient Order of Foresters, 1 tent of the Independent Order of Eechabites, and 1 branch of the Hibernian Australasian Catholic Benefit Society are branches of bodies which, though not yet registered, are capable of being registered as New Zealand societies. It is to be feared that some of the richer lodges, courts, &c, which enjoy the separate status acquired under the older Acts, are loth to part with it in exchange for a status which would give the parent society more legal control over them, because they wish to preserve the power of seceding if a continuance of their connexion with the society should at any time seem to them financially very disadvantageous. It may therefore be questioned whether the change of status might not advantageously be made compulsory, as the continuance of the legal relations between districts and lodges which subsisted before the passing of the Act of 1877 is extremely unsatisfactory. 5. Cancellations op Eegistht, Dissolutions, etc. As already mentioned 13 societies have had their registry cancelled during the year under section 23 of the Act, for the purpose of being registered as branches of the registered districts of which they were already de facto branches. Besides this, 4 other bodies had their registrations cancelled, namely, the Arrow Lodge, 1.0.0.F., M.U.; the Green Island and Point Lodges, 1.0.0.F.; and the Central Volunteer Fire Brigade, Wellington. The ground of cancellation in each of these cases was the dissolution of the society or branch. II.—CONTRIBUTIONS AND BENEPITS. A fairly satisfactory scale of contributions and benefits is established by the rules of the newlyregistered district of the Manchester Unity of Odd Fellows, namely, the Ashley District. It is as follows :— Age at Entry Payments to Benefit Pund. last Birthday. Entrance Pees. Portnightly Contributions. Scale of Benefits. £ s. d. s. d. 18 ... 0 6 8 ... 1 3 ... \ 19 ... 0 6 8 ... 13 ... \ 20 ... 0 6 8 ... 1 3 21 ... 0 6 8 ... 1 4 22 ... 0 7 0 ... 1 4 23 ' ... 0 7 0 ... 1 4 24 ... 0 7 8 ... 1 5 25 ... 0 7 8 .., 1 5 - 26 ... 0 8 8 ... 1 6 ... £1 per week during the first 27 .. 088 ... 16 ... 6 months of sickness, 28 ... 0 10 0 ... 16 ... 10s. per week during the 29 ... 0 10 0 ... 17 ... second 6 months of con--30 ... 0 11 8 ... 17 ... tinuous sickness, and ss. 31 ... 013 8 ... 18 ... \ per week during con--32 ... 0 16 0 ... 19 ... tinued sickness after the 33 ... 018 8 ... 19 ... above period. £20 on 34 ... 118 ... 1 10 ... the death of a member, 35 ... 15 0 ... 1 10 ... and £10 on that of a 36 ... 18 8 ... 1 11 ... member's wife. 37 ... 1 12 8 ... 2 0 38 ... 1 17 0 ... 2 1 39 ... 2 18 ... 2 2 40 ... 2 6 8 ... 2 2 41 ... 2 12 0 ... 2 3 42 ... 2 17 8 ... 2 4 43 ... 3 3 8 ... 2 5 ... 44 ... 310 0 ... 2 6 ... / A few other New Zealand districts of the same great Order have equally satisfactory scales of contributions and benefits, and it is greatly to be desired that all other districts of this and other orders should follow their example.

H.—2

A far less satisfactory scale has been registered by Sanctuary Star of Canterbury of the Ancient Order of Shepherds. It is as follows: — Age Monthly Contributions last Birthday. to Benefit Fund. Benefits. s. d. 18-20 ... ... 03 ... ... ""I 6s. per week during the first 21-23 ... ... 04 ... ... 6 mouths of sickness, 24-26 ... ... 0 6 ... ... and 3s. per week during 27-29 ... ... 08 ... ... i continued sickness after 30-32 ... ... 010 ... ... 'the above - mentioned 33-35 ... ... 10 ... ... period; £6 on the death 36-37 ... ... 1 2 ... ... of a member; £4 on the 38-40 ... ... 14 ... ... J death of a member's wife. The inadequacy of this scale is most glaring for members entering at the youngest ages. In fact, while the scale is inadequate throughout, the process of graduation according to age has been carried too far. This is specially unfortunate, as it is precisely in the case of young members that an actuarially inadequate contribution is most dangerous, because there is a likelihood of less compensation through the excess of interest earned over that assumed in the actuarial computation. At whatever period and by whatever stages a fall of interest takes place in the colony, the older members will clearly be the ones in respect of whom societies will proportionately gain most by the temporary high level of the interest-rate. On the other hand, the profits from secession will be greater in respect of members admitted young ; but this is probably in most cases a smaller, and certainly a less reliable, source of profit than that arising from excess of interest where the funds are well invested. lII.—VALUATIONS. The only societies valued during the year 1881 were the Nelson District of the Manchester Unity of Odd Fellows, with its several lodges, and Court Pride of Parui.ll of the Ancient Order of Foresters, situated at the Thames. The result of the first-named valuation was to show that the District, as a whole, and all its lodges, are, from an actuarial point of view, utterly insolvent. A summary of the results, so far as the individual lodges are concerned, will be found in Schedule 11. to this report, and the valuation report on the District Widow and Orphan Fund is appended as Schedule 111. The valuation of Court Pride of Parnell, A.0.F., resulted in the declaration of a nominal balance in favour of the court, but, no valuation of the District Funeral Fund having been made, it is impossible as yet to ascertain how far the said surplus is a real one. The valuation of a lodge or court is, in fact, necessarily incomplete and inconclusive, owing to the interdependence of the lodges in respect of their funeral liabilities, unless a valuation of all the other lodges or courts in the District and of the District Funeral Fund is made simultaneously. It will be seen that the Nelson District of Odd Fellows, valued as on the 31st December, 1880, comprised 5 lodges and 624 members, aged, on an average, 35 _ years, 383 of whom were married. The benefits assured to these members were: 20s. per week for the first 12 months of sickness; 10s. per week during the next 6 months of continuous sickness ; 7s. 6d. per week for any sickness after a continuous sickness of 18 months ; £15 on the death of a member, and £12 on the death of a member's wife; an annuity of 12s. per calendar month to the widow of every deceased member for the first 6 years of widowhood; an annuity of 3s. per calendar month to each child under 12 years of age of every deceased member till it reaches that age. The contributions paid to meet these benefits are : 6d. per week, or 265. per annum,* to the Sick and Funeral Funds of the lodges, and sd. per lunar month, or ss. sd. per annum, to the District Widow and Orphan Fund. The present value of the sickness benefits, estimated on the basis of the Manchester Unity Sickness and Mortality Experience of 1866-70 (4 per cent.) was £22,962 lis. 6d., or £36 16s. per member ; that of the funeral benefits, estimated according to the Manchester Unity Mortality Experience of 1866-70 (4 per cent.), was £4,564 14s. 5d., or £7 6s. 4d. per member ; that of the widows' annuities, estimated by using the Manchester Unity and Institute of Actuaries' Hm Mortality tables (4 per cent.), was £5,453 Is., or £8 14s. 9d. per member; while that of the children's annuities, estimated according to Professor Pell's New South Wales (Females) and the Institute of Actuaries' Hm Mortality tables (4 per cent.), was £1,517 15s. 9d., or £2 Bs. Bd. per member. Thus the aggregate present value of all the liabilities was £34,498 2s. Bd., or £55 ss. 9d. per member. The present value of the contributions receivable on account of sick and funeral benefits, estimated by the Manchester Unity Mortality Experience (4 per cent.), was £13,350 16s. 7d., or £21 7s. lid. per member ; while the present value of those receivable on account of widow and orphan benefits, estimated on the same basis, was £2,66S ss. Bd., or £4 ss. 6d. per member. The total present value of future contributions was thus £16,019 2s. 3d., or £25 13s. sd. per member. Deducting the present value of contributions from the present value of benefits, it is found that the net liability of the district as at the date of valuation was £18,479 Os. 5d., or £29 12s. 4d. per member. This, therefore, is the amount to which the District and lodge benefit funds ought in the aggregate to have amounted in order that the District as a whole might be actuarially in a solvent position. It is seen, however, that the aggregate Benefit Funds of the five lodges amounted to £7,987 17s. Id., or £12 16s. per member; the District Funeral Fund to £104 15s. 4d., or 3s. 4d. per member ; and the District Widow and Orphan Fund to £1,177 16s. 10d., or £1 17s. 9d. per member: in all, £9,270 9s. 3d., or £14 17s. Id. per member. The accumulated funds of the District and all its lodges are therefore barely more than one-half of what they ought by this time to have been, and the total actuarial deficiency is seen to be £9,208 lis. 2d., or £14 15s. 3d. per member. This result must be regarded as eminently unsatisfactory, more especially when it is considered that not only is the District as a whole unsound, but that each separate lodge and each separate benefit fund is thoroughly insolvent. The Valuers have investigated very fully the causes of this alarming

condition of things, and have ascertained that it is due in the main to the gross inadequacy of the rates of contribution. How, indeed, can a society expect to permanently meet its engagements if it admits members at all ages, from 18 to 45, at rates of contributions which would be unsafe, if not certainly insufficient, if applied to the youngest entrants alone ? As one of the lodges in this district is the second oldest lodge established by the Manchester Unity in New Zealand, its valuation report possesses a very great and special interest. The Valuers, Messrs. George Leslie and Peter Black of Dunedin, have, in the case of this District, as in all other cases where a deficiency has resulted, framed recommendations to each lodge with a view to remedying or mitigating the disaster. Stated briefly, these recommendations are in the present case (1) to require from all members, old and new, the contributions which are necessary to provide the promised benefits, and (2) to make a slight reduction in the benefits until the next quinquennial valuation. It is much to be regretted that, instead of following these recommendations, the District registered in September, 1881, an amendment of rules by which both the sick and funeral benefits were slightly increased, while the contributions were kept at their former amount. A peculiar and highly-interesting feature of the valuation above referred to is that it includes the first actuarial estimate that has been made in this colony of the value of benefits contingent on widowhood and orphanage. These benefits, especially those of the latter class, are admitted by all actuaries to offer the most formidable, if not insuperable, difficulties to anything like a precise valuation. The difficulty arises from the large number of contingencies in the way of death, marriage, fertility, and survival, which influence the ultimate pecuniary result, and the absence of appropriate and reliable data for computing the probability of some of these contingencies, notably those of marriage and fertility. Much thought was bestowed by the Valuers on the solution of the difficult problem which thus presented itself to them, and some correspondence, of a private and of a semi-official nature, was necessitated between them and the Actuary attached to this department. It is hoped and believed that the mode of valuation ultimately adopted is a fairly satisfactory one; but it is important to observe that, whatever doubt may exist as to the degree of its accuracy, there can be no question that the limits of possible error are not wide enough to permit of the slightest hope that the particular Widow and Orphan Fund under consideration will be permanently able to discharge its engagements if the present low rate of contributions is maintained. The fact of its insolvency being thus established beyond cavil, the only doubtful question would be as to the exact degree or extent of the deficiency. Within the last few weeks a series of researches has been made by the Actuary of this department into the statistics of families, with a view to ascertainment of the pecuniary values of orphan benefits. As the results obtained will be of some value when the Widow and Orphan Funds of other NewZealand friendly societies come to be investigated, a brief summary of the results is published, for the information of valuers and of members generally, as Schedule IV. of this report. The ultimate object of such a research must evidently be to determine the probability that a man, dying at any assigned age, will leave any assigned number of children, having, respectively, any assigned ages. Only then can the values of orphan benefits be precisely computed. Now, as the number of children in a family may vary from 1 to 15 or even 20, and the ages, for the purposes of friendly societies, from 1* to 12,* it is clear that a very large number of separate probabilities have to be calculated for each age at death—that is, for each of about 60 separate ages, for it may be assumed that the possible ages at which a man in the event of death might leave a young family lie somewhere between the extreme limits of 20 and 80. It is true that at the lower end of this range of ages the number of probabilities to be calculated is comparatively small, because it is impossible that the family should be either numerous or bejjond the stage of infancy; but still it is evident that altogether many hundreds of separate probabilities require to be computed. Now, there are no records in existence in New Zealand which furnish to the statistician the requisite data respecting the families left by men at death, but the census enables him to determine approximatelyt the number and ages of the children to each male living; and, although the rate of mortality among the childless (who are, of course, in most cases unmarried) is known to be higher at each age than that among fathers, the disturbance in the proportions so introduced is neither so serious nor so difficult of estimation as to greatly impair the value of the census statistics for the purpose in hand. Mr. Frankland has therefore selected certain districts, assumed to be fairly representative of the city, small town, and country populations respectively, and compiled the statistics which appear in Schedule IV. hereto from the householders' schedules collected at the census of 1881. It will be seen that the above-named statistics are neither of sufficient magnitude nor yet so arranged as to admit of the computation of precisely those probabilities which were referred to as indispensable for an accurate valuation of orphan benefits. They only assist the valuer to determine what is the probability that a man dying at any assigned age will leave one or more children under the age of fifteen, and what, in the event of his thus leaving a young child or children, would be the average number of such children in each triennial period of age. The probabilities and averages thus obtained, though inadequate to the precise valuation of orphan benefits, are, it is believed, a sufficient basis for such an approximate estimate of the pecuniary magnitude of these risks as is in the present state of our knowledge at all feasible. Court Pride of Parnell (Thames), of the Ancient Order of Foresters, was also valued as on the 31st December, 1880. The court had at that date 165 members, aged on an average 36 years 19| weeks, of whom 128 were married. The benefits assured to these members were: 20s. per week during the first 6 months of sickness ; 10s. per week during the second 6 months of continuous sickness ; " a sum weekly (not more than 55.), as may be agreed upon by the court," for any sickness after a continuous sickness of 12 months ; £20 on the death of a member, and £10 on the death of a member's wife. The contributions paid to meet these benefits were in accordance with a graduated scale

(according to age at entry), and ranged from £1 7s. Id. to £2 16s. 4d. per annum. Thus, it will be seen at once that, while the benefits are on the whole somewhat less, the contributions were, even for the youngest entrants, greater than in the case of the Nelson Odd Fellows. The valuation was made, as usual, on the basis of the Manchester Unity Experience, and a rate of interest of 4 per cent. In view of the circumstance that some friendly societies have demurred to this rate as too low, and as therefore underestimating the prospective assets of lodges, the Valuer, Mr. George Leslie, of Dunedin, entered fully into the grounds for its selection in preference to a higher rate of interest. He pointed out more especially that the recent valuation of the Government Life Insurance Department at 4j per cent, could not be pleaded as a precedent, inasmuch as special reserves had been made in the latter case, which have no counterpart in friendly societies' valuations, and which probably more than outweigh the difference of _ per cent, in the rate of interest. It might have been added that a life insurance office can reckon, owing to the large number of the insured, on an experience more closely approximating to that expected by the tables than a friendly society can, and that there is consequently less need for that large margin to cover adverse fluctuations, which, in one form or other, is indispensable in the case of friendly society valuations. The present value of the sickness benefits, estimated on the basis above specified, was £4,797 3s. lid., or £29 Is. 6d. per member. That of the funeral benefits was £1,568 13. Bd. (including a reserve of £60 on account of second wives, and future wives of members at present single), or £9 10s. 2d. per member. Thus the total value of all the liabilities was £6,365 17s. 7d., or £38 lis. Bd. per member. The present value of the contributions receivable on account of sick benefits was £3,259 10s. Id., or £19 15s. Id. per member. That of the contributions destined to be handed over to the District Funeral Fund, to meet the death claims of this and other courts of the same District, was £782 7s. Id., or £4 14s. lOd. per member. Thus the total value of future contributions receivable from existing members was £4,041 17s. 2d., or £24 9s. lid. per member. If all the risks were undertaken by the court alone, it ought, therefore, to have had in hand the difference between £6,365 17s. 7d. and £4,041 17s. 2d., i.e., £2,324 os. 5d., or £14 Is. 9d. per member, in order to be in a solvent position. The value of the Benefit Funds in hand amounted, however, to only £2,217 Bs. 2d., or £13 8s 9d. per member. Therefore, if the court were unconnected with any District, it would show an actuarial deficiency of £106 12s. 3d., or 13s. per member. But, as the funeral liabilities are undertaken by the district in return for a fixed annual contribution from each member of each court affiliated to it, it is manifest that, if the District Funeral Fund itself is solvent, the court need only have in hand a sum which, added to the present value of the contributions for sickness (£3,259 10s. Id.), shall cover the present value of the sickness benefit (£4,797 3s. lid.), i.e., a sum of £1,537 13s. 10d., or £9 6s. sd. per member. On this view, therefore, a surplus of £679 14s. 4d., or £4 2s. 4d. per member, must be held to result. But the reality of this surplus is entirely contingent on the actuarial solvency of the District Funeral Fund, because, if the latter runs short, the district has power to make extra levies on the courts. In the absence of a valuation, it is of course impossible to ascertain the exact position of this fund, but there can be no doubt that it is far too small to permanently meet its engagements ; and it is therefore certain that the nominal surplus shown by Court Pride of Parnell will be largely required to cover future deficiencies in the District Fund. How largely, and whether any real surplus remains, it is impossible to determine until all the remaining courts of the District and the District Fund itself shall have been valued. Until such time, the Valuer very properly recommends that the whole of the surplus should be reserved. The causes which have produced the fairly satisfactory condition of the court are stated by the Valuer to have been (1) the favourable sickness experience (885_ weeks in the preceding five years, as against 1,123 expected) ; (2) the fairly high rates of interest earned (on an average £5 12s. lOd. per cent, during the previous quinquennium) ; and (3) a'heavy secession-rate, 161 members having seceded in the preceding five years. The Valuer considers, however, that the last-named cause has not contributed very greatly to the result, because the secessions have, as is usually the case, been confined to so large an extent to those who are youngest both in point of age and membership. The Valuer commends the secretary on the care exercised in making out the necessary returns. IV.—STATISTICS FOR 1880-81. From the returns furnished to this office for the year 1880, six statistical tables have been compiled. Two additional tables (Tables VII. and VIII.) have been prepared from such returns for the year 1881 as had been forwarded in time to be printed with this year's report. The tables appended to this year's report are similar for the most part to those of the report for the year 1880. Table 11. is cast in a new form, giving side by side the respective amounts belonging to the various funds of the societies, together with the average value per member of the Sick and Funeral Funds. In Tables HI., IV, and V. the amounts in the hands of the central bodies have been kept separate (as shown by their being inserted within square brackets) from the funds of the individual lodges, &c, and the grand total of the central bodies' funds has also been given independently. In Table VI. the central bodies' funds have been included in the totals of their respective districts. In the compilation of the Supplemental Statistics (Table VI.) it was deemed expedient, owing to the imperfect character of the information relative to the unregistered lodges, &c, to put within brackets those totals which in consequence are necessarily incomplete. Whenever a comparison of the details of a return with those of that of a previous year has shown a discrepancy, the lodge secretary has been written to for an explanation, on receipt of which the error has been in some instances easily rectified ; but, in the event of small discrepancies still remaining, the figures which have been furnished have been so dealt with as to avoid any breaks in the entries in corresponding columns. When any such breaks occur, the explanation received has afforded satisfactory evidence that the figures of the former return were inaccurate, and that the more-recently supplied information represents accurately the facts of the case.

In order to obviate the necessity of continually repeating all the various terms by which the several societies designate their respective branches, the meaning of the word " lodge," which has been used in such cases, is to be understood as including all the corresponding terms, viz., court, sanctuary, tent, division, and branch. The only new societies to be added to the list given in last year's report (page 8) are the Sickness and Accident Mutual Assurance Association of New Zealand,* established at Christchurch, and the Grey Valley Accident Belief Fund, established at Brunnerton. The total number of benefit societies (reckoning each separate lodge, court, Ac, as a unit), which are dealt with in the tables relating to the year 1880, is 243, of which 147 were registered and 96 were unregistered. This total number includes, — Independent Order of Odd Fellows, Manchester Unity ... ... 15 Districts and 117 Lodges. Independent Order of Odd Fellows (American) ... ... 1 Grand Lodge „ 19 Subordinate Lodges. National Independent Order of Odd Fellows ... ... ... 1 Grand Lodge „ 2 Subordinate Lodges.

Loyal United Friends'Benefit Society 1 Grand Lodge ~ 1 Subordinate Lodge. Independent Order of Eechabites ... 3 Districts J ~ 5 Tents. Sons and Daughters of Temperance 1 Grand Division ~ 5 Subordinate Divisions. Hibernian Australasian Catholic Benefit Society ... ... 1 District „ 6 Branches. Eailway Benefit Societies ... ... 2 Societies. Of the registered lodges, returns for the year 1880, available for statistical purposes, were received from 138, exclusive of the returns furnished by the central bodies. A few returns were excluded from the tables, owing to their incompleteness. In view of the general improvement which I have referred to above as noticeable in the returns for 1881, I have reason to anticipate that exclusion on this ground will less and less be necessary in future. The registered lodges which are dealt with in the tables are respectively as follow :— Manchester Unity Independent Order of Odd Fellows ... 59 Lodges. Independent Order of Odd Fellows (American) ... ... 6 Lodges. National Independent Order of Odd Fellows ... ... 2 Lodges. Ancient Order of Foresters ... .., ... ... 45 Courts. Ancient Order of Shepherds ... ... ... ... 1 Sanctuary. United Ancient Order of Druids ... ... ... ... 8 Lodges. Loyal United Friends'Benefit Society ... ... ... 1 Lodge. Independent Order of Eechabites... ... ... ... 3 Tents. Sons and Daughters of Temperance ... ... ... 5 Divisions. Hibernian Australasian Catholic Benefit Society ... ... 6 Branches. Eailway Benefit Societies ... ... ... ... 2 Societies. This number represents an increase of 16 upon the number of registered lodges included in the tables for the previous year. Taking some of the most noteworthy results of the tables in detail, I regret to say that the returns for the year 1880 show an actual loss of members. The figures are as follow: — Number of members admitted during the year ... ... ... 1,863 „ „ lapsed „ „ ... ... ... 2,031 „ „ died „ „ ... ... ... 90 —showing a total loss of 258. This serious falling-off in numbers was, in all probability, caused by the commercial depression recently experienced in the colony, which had the effect of driving many artizans and labourers away from New Zealand, and which, doubtless, prevented many of those who remained from keeping up their subscriptions and membership. It is satisfactory to find from the corresponding table for 1881 (Table VII.) that there was in that year a sufficient excess of admissions over lapses to more than outweigh the mortality, and thus to secure a slight net increase in the number of members. Of the 138 lodges included in these tables, 40 had, on the 31st December, 1880, less than 50 members each, 55 had between 50 and 100 members, 16 had between 100 and 150, 15 between 150 and 200, 5 between 200 and 250, 3 between 250 and 300, 2 between 300 and 350, 1 between 350 and 400, and 1 between 400 and 450. The average number in each lodge, if the Eailway Benefit Societies, which are not strictly local societies, be excluded from the calculation, is 93'6. The number of deaths of members for the year was 90, or 6'77 per 1,000 members, as against 6'96 in the year 1879. The number of deaths of members' wives was 50, which is equivalent to 3'76 per 1,000 members, as against 325 in 1879. The number of members sick during the year was 1,665, i.e., 12'5 per cent., as against 12'7 per cent, in 1879. The total amount of sickness, 11,778 weeks 5 days, gives an average of nearly o'9 week per member, and an average of somewhat more than 7 weeks per member sick. If with these figures we

compare those obtained from the sickness experience of the 8 earliest-established lodges of the Manchester Unity— Total number of members sick, 264, or 14'4 per cent. Total number of weeks' sickness, 2,679, i.e., 1'46 weeks per member, or above 10 weeks per member sick. —the comparison affords very distinct proof of the absolute necessity that there must be a considerable surplus income in the early years of a lodge, and that all such accumulations be well and safely invested, in order that the lodge may be able to fulfil its promises, as increasing liabilities resulting from increasing sickness have to be met. Jn connection with these remarks it may be added that the total amount of Sick and Funeral Funds belonging to all the lodges at the end of the year 1880 was £141,713 25., giving an average of £10 15s. 3d. per member; and that out of 36 official valuations that have been made 3 only have shown a surplus. Classifying the sickness experience so as to distinguish between acute attacks and sickness which is more or less chronic, it is found that there is a greater proportion of the total amount in the " Second six months " and " After twelve months " columns than in the previous year. The percentages are as follow:— First 6 Months. Second 6 Months. After 12 Months. 1879 ... 70-2 88 2TO 1880 ... 651 10-1 248 The number of lodges which had a sickness experience extending beyond the first 6 months of continuous sickness was 58 out of 138 in the year 1880, as against 47 out of 122 in the previous year; and the number which had a sickness experience extending beyond 12 months was 44, as against 28. On comparing the above proportions of classified sickness experience with those obtained from the experience of the 8 lodges of the Manchester Unity referred to above, the chronic sickness of these long-established lodges is found to be very marked, the percentages being as follow: First 6 months, 51'68 per cent. ; second 6 months, 1038 per cent.; after 12 months, 37'94 per cent. Table 111. shows the distribution of the societies' funds, as on the 31st December, 1880. Altogether these amounted to £156,406 15s. 6d. (exclusive of the funds under the control of central bodies), which is equivalent to £11 17s. 7d. per member—an average higher by a few shillings than that of the previous year. Of this amount, £55,363 6s. lid. was placed on mortgage of freehold property, being rather more than 59 per cent, of the total funds invested at fixed rates of interest. The rates of interest on the various investments ranged from 4_ to 10 per cent. £48,604 7s. 7d. was the total value of land and buildings. The remainder, £14,157 lis. 7d., included cash not bearing interest, value of goods, furniture, and regalia, and debts owing. The following balance-sheet shows at a glance the total liabilities and assets of the registered societies: — Liabilities. £ s. d. Assets. £ s. d. Sick and Funeral Fund ... 141,713 2 1 Deposits in P.O. Savings Bank 4,047 18 0 Management Fund ... ... 9,921 3 6 „ other banks ... 24,827 1 1 Other funds and property ... 4,772 911 Mortgages ... ... ... 55,363 611 Other investments at interest ... 9,406 10 4 Land and buildings ... ... 48,604 7 7 Cash not bearing interest ... 10,056 11 6 Furniture, regalia, &c. ... 3,853 4 7 Other assets ... ... 247 15 6 £156,406 15 6 £156,406 15 6 In the above balance-sheet the assets have been reduced by amounts owing, as it was found impossible to ascertain these latter in the majority of cases with anything like exactitude. At whatever date a balance is struck a number of sums must necessarily be outstanding as debts and credits of the society. Where, however, these sums are small, as is usually the case, they are seldom stated with such accuracy as to render the information in respect of them of any substantial value. The balance of assets over liabilities is in such cases stated with approximate correctness, although minor debts and credits be omitted. Table IV. exhibits the receipts and expenditure of the Sick and Funeral Funds. The contributions under this head amounted to £17,908 18s. 7d., being an average of £1 6s. lid. per member. This average is identical with that of the previous year. The increase in the number of registered lodges belonging to the United Ancient Order of Druids, which order shows an advance from 308 to 702 members during the year, and whose average contribution per member was less than £1 ss. Id., has kept down the general average, which otherwise would have shown an increase as compared with the previous year. The total of the entrance and clearance fees for the year was £1,237 2s. 6d., which is equivalent, on an average, to 13s. 3d. for each member admitted during the year. In 1879 the entrance and clearance fees were £1,323 Is. 5d,, or 16s. lOd. per member admitted. The total sick pay was £9,640 12s. 2d., being £5 15s. lOd, per sick member, and the average weekly pay was 16s. 4d. These averages show a very trifling variation as compared with those of previous years. The average sick pay in 1879 was £5 16s. Bd., and the weekly rate 16s. 6d. The total amount paid during the year as funeral benefits was £2,037 18s. lid.; the average benefit paid for members being £19 6s. 4d., and for members' wives £9 Bs. 2d. These averages vary considerably from year to year. The respective averages in 1879 were £16 15s. 4d. and £11 Os. 9d., and in 1878 £17 2s. and £9 ss. lid. This marked fluctuation may be accounted for by the great variation in funeral benefits that is to be found among the societies, some of which grant much larger funeral benefits than others. Therefore, according as the greater proportion of deaths occurs in the former or the latter class, the total payments under this head of expenditure will be greater or less. The amount of levies to District Funeral Funds was £2,786 Is. 4d., being 4s. 2d. per member, as against 4s. Id. in the previous year.

The total receipts of the Sick and Funeral Funds were £30,464 7s. lid., or, on an average, £2 ss. lOd. per member. The total payments out of the funds were £17,073 18s. Bd., being an average of £1 ss. Bd. per member. The expenditure, therefore, was 56 per cent, of the receipts. It was, however, nearly equal to the receipts through contributions alone, and the average expenditure was greater than the average contribution obtained by the Druids, who, notwithstanding, promise benefits which are at least equal to those of most other societies. The excess of receipts over expenditure, taking one society with another, was therefore almost entirely derived from the interest on the accumulated funds. At the end of the year the amount of Benefit Funds per member varied from a minimum of 7s. Id., (Enterprise Lodge of the United Ancient Order of Druids) to a maximum of £30 9s. (Boss Lodge, Hokitika District, M.U.). The general average was £10 15s. 3d., a very slight increase upon that of the previous year. The following table shows the numbers of lodges, &c, whose average Benefit Funds per member lay within indicated limits on the 31st December, 1880: — Number of lodges, &e. ... 1 2 9 17 26 36 29 10 8 £££££££££ Above ... ... 30 25 20 15 10 5 2 1 Less than ... 30 25 20 15 10 5 2 1 The average ages of the various lodges, &c, together with the respective values (within indicated limits) of their Benefit Funds per member, are as follow:— £££££££££ Above ... ... 30 25 20 15 10 5 2 1 Less than ... 30 25 20 15 10 5 2 1 yr. m. yr. m. yr. m. yr. m. yr. m. yr. m. yr. m. yr. m. yr. m.

The total amount of expen* diture from these funds was £24,195 10s. 9d., which was distributed as follows :— Medical attendance and medicine ... ... ... ... £11,762 19 4 Expenses of management (inclusive of levies to central bodies) ... 8,637 4 10 Other expenditure ... ... ... ... ... 3,795 6 7 £24,195 10 9 This gives 17s. Bd. as the average per member for medical attendance, &c, and 13s. for expenses of management. This latter average is almost identical with that of former years. At the same time there has been a continual increase in the average contribution per member to the Management Fund, which in 1877 was £1 4s. 2d. •in 1878, £1 4s. 7d.; in 1879, £1 ss. Bd.; and in 1880, £1 6s. lOd. Of the 11 lodges which, on the 31st December, 1880, comprised upwards of 200 members, the average expenditure per head for medical expenses was 16s. 2d., and for management expenses (including, as above, levies to central bodies), 13s. 4d. It may be noticed that there are still many lodges whose returns show a debit balance in the Management Fund account, but in many cases the amounts are trifling ; and in most of those where they are considerable a reduction of the indebtedness is being gradually effected. Table VII., which relates to the returns for the year 1881, has been already referred to in connection with the corresponding table for 1880. A few other interesting points of comparison are subjoined. The total number of deaths of members in those lodges of wdiich the returns are here dealt with was equivalent to 7'36 per 1,000, and the number of deaths of members' wives was equivalent to 3'86 per 1,000 members, as against 6 77 and 376 respectively in the year 1880. The average number of members sick was 138 per cent., showing an increase as compared with the corresponding percentages for 1879 (12'7), and 1880 (12'5). The total amount of sickness was 13,477 weeks, giving 0'96 and 6'96 as the average number of weeks' sickness per member and per sick member respectively. Of the 8 oldest established lodges belonging to the Manchester Unity, 7 only appear in Table VII. The percentage of sick members in these lodges (16'9) shows a greater proportionate increase over the sickness experience of the oldest established lodges in 1880 than that of the general average of 1881 over the general average of 1880. It therefore not merely bears out the truth of the remarks which have been made with reference to the figures for the year 1880, but intensifies their force. These 7 lodges show an average sickness per member and per sick member of I'B4 and 10 90 weeks respectively. . The sickness experience of all the societies was distributed as follows: — First 6 Months. Second 6 Months. After 12 Months. 1881 ... 67-5 92 23 3 1880 ... 651 101 24-8 The number of lodges whose sickness experience in 1881 extended beyond the first 6 months was 67 out of a total of 169, as compared with 58 out of 138 in the year 1880; and the number whose sickness experience extended beyond 12 months was 53, as against 44. The ages of the members (in quinquennial groups), together with the total amounts of the Sick and Funeral Funds, as on the 31st December, 1881, are given in Table VIII. The total value of the Sick and Funeral Funds belonging to 168* out of 169 lodges is, by this, shown to have been £155,191 18s. 2d. The average, therefore, of the Sick and Funeral Fund per member in these lodges was £11 2s. 4d. The corresponding average for the year 1880 was £10 15s. 3d.; but no exact comparison can be made between these averages, as the tables for the two years do not relate to exactly the same lodges.

* In the case of one lodge out of the 169 the amount of the Sick and Funeral Fund was not aecertainable.

SCHEDULE 111. To the President and Managing Committee of the Widows' and Orphans' Fund of the Nelson District, M.U.1.0.0.F. Sir and Brethren, — Agreeably to your instructions we have made a valuation of the assets and liabilities of the fund as on the 31st December, 1880. By the certified copy of the rules of the society supplied to us we find that the regulations regarding this fund are contained in District Eules 24 and 25. The benefits assured at the present time are as follow : 1. An annuity of £7 4s. per annum to the widow of every deceased member for the first 6 years of widowhood. 2. An annuity of £1 16s. per annum to each child under 12 years of age of every deceased member, till it reaches that age. The particulars supplied to us for valuation were as follow: 1. A return from each lodge in the district containing the initials of all members not owing more than 12 months' contributions, with the year of birth, year of admission, and whether married or single in each case. 2. A return from the district secretary containing the initials and year of birth of each member having children under 12 years of age, with the month and year of birth and sex of each of his children under the limiting age. 3. A return of the widows and children upon the fund at the date of valuation, with the date of birth and declaration on the fund in each case. 4. A return of the admissions and withdrawals of widows and children, and of the mortality experienced by them during the six years preceding the date of valuation. 5. A summary of the receipts and expenditure for each of the fire years preceding the date of valuation, and a balance-sheet of the fund as at the 31st December, 1880. From the information supplied to us we have compiled the following summary and tables:— Summary.

The rate of interest realized by the fund for each of the five years preceding the date of valuation has been as follows:— £ s. d. Year ended 31st December, 1876 ... ... 811 8 per cent, per annum. „ „ 1877 ... ... 715 10 1878 7 16 7 1879 7 5 3 ~, „ 1880 ... ... 6 2 1 37 11 5 Average of rates ... ... £7 10 3 per cent, per annum. Before placing before you the valuation balance-sheet, we shall seek to indicate the methods pursued by us in carrying out this valuation. (_.) As regards the rate of interest: The rate of interest assumed in all the calculations has been 4 per cent. This rate is much under the rates realized by the managers of the fund during the quinquennium, and great credit is due to them for investing the capital of the fund so profitably; but what we have to consider is not so much the rate that has been realized in the past, as the most probable rate that will be realized on good securities during the next forty or fifty years. Keeping in view the fact that the rate of interest has been declining for some years, also the probability there is that, through the influx of foreign capital, the rate will still further decline, we do not think it would be safe to assume that a higher rate than 4 per cent, will be realized on the total capital of the fund throughout the period mentioned. (b.) As regards the tables of mortality used in the valuation: Seeing that the experience of the society has not been extensive enough to furnish sufficient data on which to base the necessary calculations, and as there are no published tables or definite information obtainable regarding the death-rate at each age in this colony as yet, we had to consider what published table or tables of mortality would be most suitable to adopt for the present valuation. After mature consideration we resolved on adopting the following : — For the temporary annuities to widows, the Manchester Unity Experience 1866-70 Table, and the Institute of Actuaries Hm Table. For the temporary annuities to children, Pell's New South Wales 1860-75 (Females) Table, and the Institute of Actuaries Hm Table.

Before we could value the benefits much time had to be spent in constructing the necessary tables, and this work has very materially delayed the valuation, a circumstance we much regret, but could not help. (c.) As regards the present value of the future contributions of members: The contribution being the same at all ages and in all cases—whether the member be married or single, or a widower — the present value has been found by multiplying the present value of £1 per annum at each age (Manchester Unity Table), and payable twice a year (1) by the annual contribution, and (2) by the number of members in the society at each age, and then summing up the column. The total so obtained amounts to £2,668 ss. Bd. (d.) In regard to the present value of the benefits to widows: We had to consider, first, the value of the future payments to the widows who were on the fund at the date of valuation, and, second, the number of widows who may yet declare on it, and the value of their benefits. The number of widows receiving benefits at the date of valuation was 13, their ages varied from 24 (last birthday) to 69, the average age being 42f years, and the periods during which the benefits were payable varied from 11 months to 5 years 9 months. In consideration of the benefits being payable quarterly, the necessary additions were made in each case, and an addition was also made to cover the time from the date of last payment to the date of valuation. The value of the benefits under this division we find to be £275 12s. The number of widows who may yet claim the benefits of the fund is definitely within limits, yet not susceptible of anything like exact determination, and we do not know of any tables of the various contingencies that have to be estimated that are at all suitable for your particular case. The various classes of widows that have to be included in the estimate are as follows: — (1.) Widows who may be left out of the 383 wives existing at the date of valuation; (2.) Widows who may be left out of the second or subsequent marriage of the 383 married members whose wives were alive at the date of valuation; (3.) Widows who may be left through the remarriage of widowers; (4.) Widows who may be left through the first marriage of members at present unmarried ; (5.) Widows who may be left through the second marriage of members at present unmarried. We estimate that the number of widows of the first class will be 210. Of the 173 members left widowers, we estimate that 130 will marry again; and, as the wives selected by them are likely to be several years younger than themselves, the proportion of widows that will be left is likely to be considerably greater than in the casejaf first wives. Accordingly we estimate that the number of widows of the second class will be 100. As the returns furnished to us did not distinguish between bachelors and widowers, we have considered the 241 single members as all bachelors, and therefore have not been able to make an estimate of the number of widows of the third and fourth classes separately. Turning back to Table 1., it will be seen that of the single members only 21 are over 45 years of age —that, in fact, 129, or over 50 per cent, of the whole, are under 25 years of age. Such being the case, a very large proportion may yet be expected to marry. Our estimate of this number is 187, and the number of widows left from such marriages we estimate at 103. Coming now to the last class, and reasoning as in regard to the second class, we estimate the number of widows who will be left through the second marriage of members at present unmarried at 47. Adding these various estimates together, we get a total of 460 as the number of widows who may yet claim the benefits of the fund. What we have now to consider is the present value of the benefits to these 460 widows. The value of this benefit depends (1) on the age of the member and the value of his life at the date of valuation ; and (2) on the age of the widow, and the value of her life when she enters upon the fund, together with the probability of her remarrying during the time the benefit is payable. At the date of valuation the mean age of the wives was about 3i years less than that of their husbands, and this difference is likely—in consequence of remarriages—to increase rather than diminish. Beyond this, it has been fully proved that female life as a whole is better than male, and these two circumstances require to be taken into account. There is, however, one circumstance which has a tendency to counteract the difference in age between the members and their wives, and also the superior longevity of female life, and that is the remarriages of widows. After much thought and deliberation, we have come to the conclusion that, for the present valuation, this contingency, which tends to lessen the value of the benefits, may be set against the two we have mentioned tending in an opposite direction, and hence that the ages of the wives may be assumed to be the same as that of their husbands. The mean age at death of the members now living at each age has been found by adding the mean after lifetime (Manchester Unity Experience) to the age at the date of valuation. The value of the benefit to the widow when she enters on it has been taken as equal to the value of an annuity of £7 4s. for six years on a life of the same age, less the mean age at death of the husband, and the present value of this annuity has been obtained by multiplying it by the present value of £1 at death of the husband. The total of the values so obtained is £5,177 9s. (e.) In regard to the present value of the benefits to children: Under this head we had to consider, first, the value of the future payments to the children who were on the fund at the date oi valuation ; and, second, the value of the benefits to the children who may yet become entitled to receive the benefits of the fund. At the date of the valuation the number of children receiving benefits was 26, and their ages varied from Ito 11 years, the average age being 6 years. The value of the future payments to these children was found by multiplying the sum payable yearly to each into a temporary annuity (payable quarterly) on each child's life till it reached the age of 12, and the total of the values so found amounts to £172 15s. 9d. The value of the benefits to the children who may yet become entitled to receive the benefits of the fund is much more difficult to estimate than in the case of the widows, because of the greater B—H. 2.

number of contingencies involved, and the almost total want of data. In your case we have to consider the children who may be left fatherless or orphans out of the following classes : — (1.) The 976 children whose parents were alive at the date of valuation; (2.) The children who may yet be born to the present married members ; (3.) The children who may yet be born to members at present single. In regard to the first class, our chief difficulty was the want of suitable tables, and, after a direful examination of all tables of mortality of infantile life within reach, we decided upon adopting the New South Wales (Females) Table for the value of life under 10 years of age, and the Hm Table for the value of life over that age. Having calculated the necessary series of monetary values of single and joint lives according to the above data, the valuation was proceeded with by finding the value of the benefit to each child in the event of the father dying before it reached 12 years of age. The total of the values so found amounts to £445. In regard to the children of the second class, the valuation is beset with difficulties for want of data. On referring to Table 1., and considering the number of married members at each group of ages, and the number of such members having children under 12 years of age at the date of valuation, we are of opinion that a considerable number of children will yet be born to them. Now, in estimating the value of the benefit to these children, it has to be remembered that the value of the benefit to each child at birth increases as the father increases in age. Taking all the circumstances into account we estimate the liability to the children of this class at £400. Coming now to the last class —the children who may be left fatherless or orphans from the marriages of members at present single. In this case, as in the last, there is no method that, can be devised of forming an estimate of the value of the benefits to the children of this class which c;m be regarded as satisfactory. We can only give a rough approximation, based upon our estimate of the number who will marry out of the 241 single members at the date of valuation. This number we have estimated at 187. Now, if we suppose that 170 of these marriages will prove fruitful, it seems to us that £500 would be a very moderate estimate of the present value of the future liabilities to the children of this class. Having now indicated the methods pursued by us, we will now append the valuation balancesheet. Valuation Balance-sheet, as at 31st December, 1880. Db. £ s. d. | Ck. £ s. d.

But as we have not been able to see a way, consistent with our responsibilities, to. reduce the deficiency in any way, we are therefore of opinion that the contributions and benefits of this fund should be immediately revised. Seeing, however, that so much doubt exists regarding the future liabilities under some of the benefits, and recognizing fully the power of efficient management in overcoming difficulties when seen to exist, we do not feel inclined to recommend for your adoption such measures of reform as would at once remove this deficiency. As there can be no doubt about the contribution being insufficient and grossly inequitable, a graduated scale should be at once adopted, and made applicable to all in accordance with the age at entry. As a tentative scale, we would recommend the following for adoption, viz. : —• Age 18 to 20 ... 6d. per lunar month. Age 30 to 35 ... IOJd. per lunar month. „ 20 „25 ... 7_d. „ „ 35 „40 ... Is. „ 25 „30 ... 9d. It will be seen by reference to the valuation balance-sheet that the heaviest liability is in respect of the payments to widows, and it is on this benefit we think a little reduction should be made. We would recommend that the benefits to widows should be reduced to 10s. per calendar month, and that the benefit should absolutely cease at the end of six years after the death of the members. In any case of great necessity for further assistance a special levy might be made, either by a single lodge or by the district as a whole. In conclusion, we may say that the objects aimed at by you in the maintenance of a Widows' and Orphans' Fund in connection with your district are most admirable, and in strict accordance with the phiianthrophic principles of the order. Such being the case, it is all the more necessary that the institution should be placed on a sound financial basis. We have endeavoured in this report to point out what, in our opinion, would be most conducive to that end ; and we hope, as a result, that you may be induced to adopt such measures of reform as will insure receipt of the benefits of the fund by all who may become entitled thereto. We have, &c, Geo. Leslie, Beter Black, Bublic Valuers under " The Friendly Societies Act, 1877." Dunediu, 21st October, 1881.
