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

Presented to both Houses of the General Assembly pursuant to " The Friendly Societies Act, 1882," Section 5, Subsection (8).

EEPOET. In order to present the annual report on friendly societies to Parliament at the commencement of the session it was necessary to limit the statistical tables which accompany it to compilations from such returns as relate to the year 1881. The time during which the returns for the year 1882 should have been sent in to this office did not expire until Ist April last: it has therefore been found impossible to compile anything like complete tables from them so as to have them printed together with this report. As the number of registered societies is being added to year by year there is a continuous increase in the statistical value of these tables. This, of course, has involved a corresponding increase in the work of this department. During the session of 1882 an Act to consolidate and amend the existing Friendly Societies Acts was passed by Parliament. The Registrar therefore issued a circular letter to the secretaries of friendly societies giving a brief statement and explanation of the principal changes which are embodied in it. This circular is appended as Schedule I. to this report. The secretary of each society should have by him a copy of the Act, so that he may be thoroughly conversant with the duties of his office. Several recommendations have been received from societies nominating gentlemen as public valuers whose names the Eegistrar has not been able to submit to the Governor for approval. It appears to be imagined by many that a knowledge of mercantile accounts is a sufficient qualification for the office, whereas the work involves considerable actuarial knowledge and experience. la Schedule 11. will be found a paper of test questions which have been recently forwarded to applicants. In not a single instance has any attempt as yet been made to answer these questions. The Government having determined to relieve registered friendly societies of the cost of valuation —which, especially in small lodges, was felt to be a heavy tax on savings—all claims for the cost of valuations made in accordance with the Act have been passed for payment. PUBLIC AUDITORS. The various societies having been asked to suggest the- names of suitable persons to be appointed Public Auditors in terms of the Friendly Societies Act, and to state what they considered to be fair rates of remuneration to be paid by the respective societies for the services of Public Auditors, the names recommended were, in most instances, submitted to His Excellency the Administrator for approval, and the appointments made; but, as the Eegistrar is of opinion that this office ought not to be held concurrently with that of secretary to a friendly society, he was unable to submit to His Excellency the names of some who were thoroughly competent to perform the duties. There are at present nominally ten Public Auditors, viz: two at Wellington, two at Dunedin, two at Hokitika, one at Woolston, one at Nelson, one at the Thames; one was appointed at Auckland, but he has lately expressed an unwillingness to act. After due consideration of the various rates of remuneration recommended by the societies for ""adoption, the following scale was approved of by His Excellency as the maximum scale to be charged to friendly societies for the services of Public Auditors: — Fee not to exceed For the audit of the accounts and funds of lodges not exceeding 50 members ... ... ... ... ... ... ... £1 1 0 For*t.he audit of the accounts and funds of lodges exceeding 5,0 members but not exceeding 100 members ... ... ... ... 220 And (not to exceed) an additional half-guinea for each additional 50 members or part thereof. For the audit of the accounts and funds of districts or central bodies having not more than three branches ... ... ... ... 110 And (not to exceed) an additional five shillings for each additional branch (above three).

CONVERSION OP REGISTERED SOCIETIES INTO BRANCHES. During the year the following were brought under the legal control of their respective district bodies by conversion from the status of separately registered societies into that of registered branches : — Manchester Unity Independent Order of Odd Fellows. Loyal Howard Lodge (Nelson District). Loyal Benevolent Lodge (North CanKaiapoi Lodge (North Canterbury terbury District). District). Ancient Order of Foresters. Court Pride of the Forest (Nelson Court Concord (Nelson District). District). Court Havelock (United Otago District). Independent Order of Rechabites. Star of Hauraki Tent, New Zealand District. CANCELLATION OF REGISTRY. The registrations of the following societies and branches have been cancelled during the year on the ground that they have ceased to exist: — Independent Order of Odd Fellows {American). Mount Ida Lodge. Wanganui Lodge. Eavensbourne Lodge. Avon Lodge. The Sickness and Accident Assurance Association of New Zealand. The registrations of the following divisions of the Sons and Daughters of Temperance have been cancelled upon instruments of dissolution duly registered : — Sons and Daughters of Temperance. Star of Peace Division. | Phoenix Division. An application was again made to register an instrument of dissolution of the Naseby Lodge, M.TL, 1.0.0.P. This lodge was registered under the Act of 1867 as a separate society, that Act not having provided for the registration of branches as such.. The rules, however, of the Naseby Lodge stated that it should be a lodge of the Otago District, M.U., 1.0.0.P., and expressed subordination to the rules of the district. An application had been made in 1881 for the registration of an instrument of dissolution, the secretary of the lodge having informed the Registrar that the reason the decision in favour of a dissolution was arrived at by the members was because the law " debarred them from appropriating a portion of the interest accruing from benefit fund investments for management expenses." The Assistant Law Officer advised that, in interpreting the words "branch society" iu the 26th section of " The" Friendly Societies Act, 1877," it would only be necessary " to consider whether the Naseby Lodge is a branch within the meaning of the interpretation clause." That clause read as follows : —" ' Branch ' means any number of the members of a society under the control of a central body having a separate fund administered by themselves or by a committee of officers appointed by themselves." As the Naseby Lodge by its rules came within that interpretation, and as the District Executive refused to give the consent to Ihe dissolution required by the 26th said section, the application was refused. A fresh application was made in 1882, after the Friendly Societies Act of 1882 was passed. But the wording of this Act also rendered the consent of the district necessary. Consequently the later application for the registration of an instrument of dissolution was refused, the district having adhered to its decision. PROSECUTIONS. Instructions for prosecution were issued in respect of the following societies for neglect to furnish returns in accordance with the Act: —■ Court Lord Clyde, A.O.F. Enterprise Lodge, TT.A.O D. Ethclbert Lodge, 1T.A..0.D. Hope of Dunedin Tent, 1.0 E. Perseverance Division, Sons of Temperance. Star of Hauraki Tent, 1.0-B. Fountain of Friendship Lodge, M.IT. Good Samaritan Tent, 1.0.K. Court Star of the Dunstan, A.O.F. Resolution Division, Sons of Temperance. In the cases of the first three of these fines were inflicted, but the other societies undertook to furnish the returns, and the prosecution was withdrawn. STATISTICS TOR 1881. In addition to two tables published together with last year's report, indicating respectively the numerical progress of societies during the year 1881 and the ages of members at its close, six tables have been compiled from the returns for that year, and are appended to this report. In Table VII. are given the membership and funds for the five years ending 31st December, 1881. In this table there are at present too many omissions to make it generally valuable for purposes of comparison, but as more and more of the friendly societies iu the colony avail themselves of the advantages of registration a quinquennial tablo will prove of very great interest. In Table VI. —Supplemental Statistics—owing to the imperfect character of the information supplied as to unregistered societies those totals which in consequence are incomplete have been put within brackets. When all the branches of registered orders and districts shall be registered, in compliance with the requirements of ''The Friendly Societies Act, 1882," the returns may be expected to be more complete.

Beckoning each separate branch as a unit, and excluding grand and district lodges, the total number of bodies' dealt with in the tables is 282, of which 179 were, registered prior to Ist January, 1882, and 103 were unregistered at that date. The following list gives the number registered, according to their respective orders : — Manchester Unity Independent Order of Oddfellows ... 71 Lodges. Independent Order of Odd Fellows (American) ... ... 10 Lodges. National Independent Order of Odd Fellows ... ... 2 Lodges. Ancient Order of Foresters ... ... ... 55 Courts. Ancient Order of Shepherds ... ... ... 2 Sanctuaries. United Ancient Order of Druids ... ... ... 13 Lodges. Loyal United Friends'Benefit Society ... ... ... 1 Lodge. Independent Order of Rechabites ... ... ... 9 Tents. Sons and Daughters of Temperance ... ... ... G Divisions. Hibernian Australasian Catholic Benefit Society ... ... 7 Branches. Railway Employes' Benefit Societies ... ... ... 2 Societies. Isolated Local Society ... ... ... ... 1 Society. In Table I. the membership is given, together with the amount of the societies' funds at the end of 1881. The total of these was £179,000, or an average of £12 7s. Bd. per member. This is only 10s. higher than the average of the previous year, but represents a somewhat greater increase in the case of older lodges,* as among those registered in 1881, and therefore appearing for the first time in this year's tables, are many which have not been long established, and which consequently possess only small funds. The average of the Sick and Funeral Funds per member was £11 os. 4d., or ss. higher than that of the previous year. Table 11. shows the distribution of the societies' funds as on the 31st December, 1881. Of the total amount invested £109,789 was placed at interest, and the value of land and buildings was set down as £51,926. £12,164 was cash in hand, and £5,721 represented value of goods, regalia, debts, &c. The following statement gives in a concise form the total liabilities and assets: — Liabilities. £ Assets. £ Sick and Funeral Funds ... ... 159,742 Investments at interest ... ... 109,789 Management Funds ... ... 14,569 Value of land and buildings ... 51,926 Other Funds and Property ... 5,289 Cash not bearing interest ... ... 12,164 Value of goods, regalia, &c. ... 4,468 Other assets ... ... ... 1,253 £179,600 £179,600 Table 111. shows how the funds at interest were placed, with the respective rates per cent. £8,258 was in the Post-Office Savings-Bank, and £25,403 in other banks. The average interest on the latter was £4 Bs. per cent. £2,585 was on deposit with companies, building societies, &c, at an average interest of 6| per cent.; £64,277 was on mortgage of freehold property, yielding on an average £8 4s. per cent.; £6,315 in Government and municipal debentures, at £6 12s. per cent.; and £2,421 in shares in companies, &c, yielding £6 2s. per cent.; and £503 on security (principally personal) other than those above-mentioned, at £9 6s. per cent. Table IV. deals with the Sick and Funeral Funds, giving the particulars of the annual receipts and expenditure, together with the amount of the fund at the beginning and end of the year. The contributions to this fund amounted to £19,514 10s. 9d., being an average of £1 6s. lid. per member. This average lias not varied for three years. The receipts from entrance and clearance fees were £1,097 9s. 3d., or 10s. 9d. per member admitted. The average for the year 1880 was 13s. 3d. The total amount paid as sick benefits during the year was £11,242 ss. 6d., which is 15s. Gd. per member, and £5 13s. 3d. per sick member, as compared with 14s. (id. and £5 15s. lOd. in the year 1880 : and the average weekly pay, which has been nearly constant for three years, was 16s. 3d. The funeral benefits amounted to £2.249 9s. Gd., (lie average benefit paid for members being £20 6s. Id., and for members' wives, £10 12s. lOd. The amount of levies to the District Funeral Funds was £2,837 9s. 5d., or an average of 4s. sd. per member of societies which have a common Funeral Fund. In 1880 the average was 4s. 2d. The total receipts of the Sick and Funeral Funds were £36,387 2s. lid., or £2 10s. 3d. per member. The total payments were £18,447 9s. 7d., or £1 ss. 6d. per m-ember. The expenditure, therefore, was over 50 per cent, of the receipts, and nearly 95 per cent, of members' contributions. At the end of the year the amount of benefit funds per member varied from a minimum of lls. Gd. (Sanctuary Star of Canterbury, A.0.5.) to £36 12s. 4d. (Ross Lodge, Hokitika District, M.U.). The general average was £10 os. 4d., which is ss. Id. higher than that of the previous year. The following table shows the number of lodges whose average benefit funds per member lay within the indicated limits on 31st December, 1881, together with the average ages of the lodges : — Number otlodges ... 3 1 4 11 22 29 42 43 20 4 £ £ £ £ £ *£ £ £ £ £ Above ...

Table V. deals with the Medical and Management Expenses' Funds. The total amount of expenditure from these funds was £25,0)57 10s. 4d., distributed as follows: —■ Medical attendance and medicine ... ... ... ... £13,751 10 8 Expenses of management (inclusive of levies to central bodies) ... 8,810 17 6 Other expenditure ... ... .. ... ... 2,475 2 2 £25,037 10 4 This gives an average of 19s. per member for medical attendance, &c, and 12s. 2d. for expenses of management. The former average is higher and the latter lower than in the year 1880; but the contributions of members to this fund, which has been continuously increasing for four years, is £1 9s. Id., or 2s. 3d. higher than for the previous year. Included in these tables are 12 lodges of the affiliated orders, the number of whose members on the 31st December, 1881, was 200 and upwards. In these the average expenses for medical attendance, &c, and for expenses of management, were respectively 17s. Bd. and 12s. This does not show any great saving where the numbers in lodges are large, but the average amount of contribution in these branches was ss. Id. less than the total average, VALUATIONS. During the calendar year 1882 the Registrar has received valuation reports respecting two Districts of the Ancient Order of Foresters —namely, (he Wellington and Nelson Districts. The former District was valued by Mr. W. Nosworthy, a Valuer appointed by the District and approved by the Governor, and the latter by Messrs. Leslie and Black, the Public Valuers. The valuation of the Wellington District was made as at the 31st day of December, 1881. The District at that date consisted of 14 courts, containing an aggregate of 1,316 members, of whom 943 were married. Of these 1,316 members 31 were between 18 and 20 years of age, 17G were between 20 and 25, 325 between 25 and 30, 299 between 30 and 35, 250 between 35 and 40, 157 between 40 and 45, 59 between 45 and 50, 11 between 50 and 55, 7 between 55 and 60, while one member was between 60 and 61 years of age. The District consisted, therefore, mainly of young members. The total funds at the valuation date were £15,218 19s. 5d., or £11 lls. 4d. per member. This total was made up of the following amounts : Sick funds of various courts, £12,713 Bs. 9d., or £9 13s. 3d. per member ; District funeral fund, £1.105 9s. 9d., or 16s. lOd. per member; management funds of courts, £480 ss. 6d., or 7s. 3d. per member ; other subsidiary funds of courts, £570 2s. 7d, or Bs. Bd. per member ; District management fund, £349 12s. 10d., or ss. 4d. per member. The benefits assured to members were £1 per week during sickness not exceeding six months in length, and during the first six months of continuous sickness ; 10s. per week during the second six months of continuous sickness ; ss. per week during sickness which has continued beyond twelve months; £20 on the death of a member; £10 on the death of a member's wife ; and £10 on the death of the widow of a deceased member, if she has kept up certain payments of contributions since her husband's death. Mr. Nosworthy estimated the present value of these benefits by assuming as usual that the future sickness and mortality experience of the District would coincide with that of the Manchester Unity of Odd Fellows as tabulated by the late Mr. Eatcliffe in his report of 1872, and that interest at the rate of 4 per cent, annually would be earned on the total funds, invested and uninvested. The present values of the various benefits assured, estimated on these bases, were as follow :— Present value of sickness benefits ...£39,497 4 2, or £30 0 3 per member. Present value of funeral benefits to members 8,941 12 1, or 615 II per member. Present value of funeral benefits to members' wives and widows ... ... ... 3,348 18 5, or 210 11 per member. £51,787 14 8, or £39 7 1 per member. Thus the gross liability of the District under its various insurance contracts was £51,787 14s. Bd., or £39 7s. Id. per member. Against this had to be set the present value of the contributions receivable, and the total realized assets of the various benefit funds. Now, the scale of contributions payable to the benefit funds was nominally the following : — 2s. per lunar month for entrants between 18 and 27 years of age. 2s. 4d. „ „ 27 „ 33 3a. „ „ 33 „ 38 ~ . 4s. „ „ 3S „ 40 __ „ The expression " nominally " is used because, although the great majority of the members paid at these rates, special arrangements existed in some of the courts by virtue of which other rates have been paid. As a matter of fact, out of 1,316 members of the district, 956 were paying to the benefit funds at the rate of £1 6s. per annum {i.e., 2s per lunar month), 1 at £1 7s. 2d., 2 at £1 Bs. 2d., 233 at £1 10s. 4d. (i.e., 2s. 4d. per lunar mouth), 15 at £1 12s. (id., 6 at £L 14s. 4d., 32 at £1 14s. Bd., 52 at £!. 19s. (i.e., 3s. per lunar month), 2 at £2 35., 4 at £2 3s. 4d., 1 at £2 7s. Bd., 10 at £2 12s. (i.e., *£<4s. per lunar month), and 2at £2 16s. 4d. The present value of these contributions was estimated by the same table of mortality, and at the same rate of interest, as the present value of the benefits : it amounted to £31,147 14s. 9d ,or £23 13s. sd. per member. The total funds applicable to sick and funeral benefits were £13,818 18s. 6d., or £10 10s. per member. Tims the assets, realized and prospective, amounted together to £44,906 13s. 3d., or £34 3s. sd. per member, as against a liability of £51,787 14sJ3d., 0r.£39 7s. Id. per member, leaving an actuarial deficit of £6,821 Is. 5d., or £5 3s. Bd. per member. Or, again, by^deducting the present value of the future contributions from the gross liability of the District, there' is obtained a net liability of £20,639 19s. lid., or £15 13s. Bd. per member, which exaeeds the realized assets by £6,821 Is. 5d., as before. On passing from the consideration of the District as a whole to that of the individual courts, it is found that two courts only, out of the fourteen, possess an actuarial surplus, namely, Court Sir George Grey, in Wellington, the oldest and largest in the District, and Court Blenheim, on the destinies of which Mr. Nosworthy himself has probably exercised great influence as a leading member, the sur-

5

H.-l.

pluses of which were respectively £1,019 Bs. 2d. and £227 19s, 3d. The remaining courts showed deficiencies varying from £39 ss. 2d., in Court Loyal Feilding, to £1,816 17s. lid., in Court Sir George Bowen, one of the metropolitan courts. The average surplus or deficiency per member, as well as the total surplus or deficiency, is exhibited in the following table, where the courts are arranged in the order in which they were established : —

The deficiencies thus exhibited are attributed by the Valuer mainly to the inadequacy of the contributions. The principal subsidiary cause he rightly holds to have been negligence in the matter of investing funds to the best advantage. The degree to which this secondary cause has been operative may be judged of to some extent by the average rate of interest realized on the total benefit funds during the five years immediately preceding the valuation date by the several insolvent lodges: — £ s. d. £ s. d. Court Bobin Hood ... 4 3 9 percent. Court Clarendon ... 3 19 1 percent. ~ Little John ... 5 8 6 „ „ Manawatu ... 1 6 3 „ „ Boderick Dhu ... 012 2 „ „ Loyal Feilding ...2 17 4 „ „ Sir George Bov,-en... 5 2 8 „ „" William Gladstone 310 2 „ „ Wairarapa ... 0 9 0 „ „ Pioneer (average for „ Loyal Enterprise ... 217 5 „ four years, Court „ Marquis of Nor- only established manby ... 0 4 0 „ four years) ... 1 14 G „ As the liabilities and contributions were in this valuation discounted at 4 per cent, it is no matter for surprise, apart from the original inadequacy of the contributions, that such low rates of interest as these should have resulted in deficiencies. In Courts Blenheim and Sir George Grey the average rates were £9 14s. 2d. and £2 ss. 7d. respectively. As already mentioned, Courts Blenheim and Sir George Grey showed surpluses. In the case of the former the Valuer attributes the result—(l) to a light sickness experience, the Court having, in the five years immediately preceding the valuation, paid for 146 weeks and 1 day of sickness, as against 420 weeks and 4 days expected by the tables ; (2) to the transfer of £160 from the Management Fund to the Benefit Eund, a step the prudence of which cannot be too highly commended ; and (3) to the excellent manner in which the funds of the court are invested. Indeed, taking this last circumstance into consideration, it may safely be said that, of all lodges in New Zealand which have as yet been valued, this one is in the most thoroughly sound condition, except, perhaps, the Hand and Heart Lodge of Odd Fellows, in Dunedin. In the case of Court Sir George Grey the surplus is justly attributed, not in any way to good management, but to a great increase in the value of the freehold belonging to the court —a town property which it would appear was originally granted to the court as a free gift. Moreover, the existence of the surplus is entirely contingent on the power of the court to obtain at least 4 per cent, interest on its funds, —a condition which has not been realized ill the past. In neither case does the Valuer recommend that the surplus should be divided. The recommendations of the Valuer to the insolvent lodges were to the effect that proper rates of contribution should be paid henceforth by all members, new and old, and in most cases that the sick benefits should be reduced in certain proportions for the next five years. It is much to be regretted that these recommendations do not appear to have been followed, and that, on the contrary, the ' valuation seems to have been received with hostility and distrust. The valuation of the Nelson District of Foresters was made as at the 31st day of December, 1880. This district consisted of 14 courts, 8 of which were registered. The aggregate number of members was 811, 412 of whom were married and 399 single. Of these, 23 were between 18 and 20 years of age, 160 were 'between 20 and 25, 171 between 25 and 30, 131 between 30 and 35, 140 between 35 and 40, 109 between 40 and 45, 48 between 45 and 50, 19 between 50-and 55, 7 between 55 and 60, 2 between 60 and 65, while i member was between 65 and 70. The benefits assured to members consisted, as usual, of allowances in sickness and at death. Of these, the latter were uniform throughout the district, being £35 on the death of a member (£l5 from the Funeral Fund and £20 from the Widow and Orphan Fund), and £10 on the death of a member's wife. The sickness benefits varied in the different courts, but the majority of them (eleven) assured £1 per week during the first twelve* months' of sickness, 10s. per week during the next six months' of continuous sickness, and in case of illness protracted beyond eighteen months, " such sum, not exceeding 10s. per week, as the members

* In most New Zealand friendly societies full sick pay is only given during the first six months of continuous illness.

may decide at a summoned meeting." In Court Waireka, on the other hand, £1 per week is paid during the first six months', 10s. during the second six months', and 7s. afterwards; while Courts Concord and Taranaki adopt the more usual rates of £1 per week during the first six months', 10s. per week during the second six months', and ss. afterwards. To meet these benefits eleven of the courts.charge a uniform contribution, irrespective of the age at entry, at the grossly inadequate rate of 2s. per lunar month. In the remaining three a graduated scale obtains, ranging from 2s. to 4s. per lunar month according to age at entry, but it appears to be only of recent introduction, besides being very inadequate at most of the ages. The total yearly contributions for benefits amounted to £1,086 165., or, on an average, £1 6s. Q\A. per member. As in the case of the Wellington District and of all other societies heretofore valued in terms of. the Act, the present value of these contributions and liabilities was estimated on the basis of the Manchester Unity experience of 1806-70, and a rate of interest of 4 per cent. The Valuers say: " We think it may fairly be expected that the sickness and mortality amongst members of friendly societies in this colony will not differ very widely from that which has been found to prevail in the Home societies. For if on the one hand a greater number of members live to higher ages than is provided for in the tables, on the other hand there will be a corresponding increase in the number exposed to the risk of sickness, and in consequence the total sickness experienced at each age out of a given number entering is likely to be in excess." Estimated on this basis the present values of the various benefits assured were as follow :— Present value of sickness benefits ... £27,221 16 2, or £33 11 4 per member. Present value of funeral benefits to 9,494 14 5, or 11 14 2 per member. members Present value of funeral benefits to 994 15 5, or 14 6 per member, members' wives £37,711 6 0, or £46 10 0 per member. On the otter hand, the present value of the contributions receivable was £17,943 13s. Bd., or £22 2s. 6d. per member, thus leaving a net liability of £19,767 12s. 4d., or £24 7s. 6d. per member. This, therefore, is the estimated amount which the District ought to have had in hand in the form of benefit funds in order, together with the contributions receivable in the future, to meet its eventual liabilities. Asa matter of fact, however, the total benefit funds of the District and the courts affiliated to it amounted only to £6.982 15s. 9d. (£6,672 being under the control of the various courts and £310 15s. 9d. under the control of the District), or £8 12s. 2d. per member, thus leaving the startlingly large deficiency of £12,784 16s. 7d., or £15 15s-. 4d. per member. Not only was the District as a whole thus ascertained to be insolvent, but the insolvency was found to attach separately to each individual court, the deficiencies ranging from £269 7s. in Court Patea (with 22 members) to £2,689 4s. Id. in Court Robin Hood, the metropolitan court (with 82 members). The deficiency in each of the comts, as well as the average deficiency per member, is exhibited in the following table, where the courts are arranged in the order of their dispensation numbers, and therefore approximately in order of establishment: —

It will be seen that these deficiencies are much more serious than those exhibited in the case of the Wellington District already commented upon. So exceedingly grave is the position of all the courts that the Eegistrar deems it expedient to subjoin at full length the statement which the Valuers have given as to what have been, in their opinion, the causes of this disastrous result: — " There can be no manner of doubt that the deficiency brought out is in a great measure due to the inadequate, and in most courts grossly inequitable, rates charged. What sickness and mortality was intended to be provided for and what rate of interest was assumed in the determination of your scales we have not been able to. : discover, but their inadequacy will be best seen by making comparisons of the rates charged with those required by the Manchester Unity experience. In all cases full credit has been given for the initiation fees laid down in General Rule 16, and also for the contribution that has to be paid before a member is entitled to benefits. " Comparison of rates charged by Courts Taranaki, Concord, and Waireka for the following benefits : Sickness, 20s. per week for first six months' of sickness ; 10s. per week for second six months' os. per week for any sickness after twelve months (in Court Waireka, 7s. per week after twelve months' sickness); death of member, £35 ; member's wife, £10; —

" Comparison of the rates charged (1) by Courts Charleston and Eoyal Oak, and (2) by the remaining nine courts, for the following benefits : Sickness, 20s. per week for the first twelve months' sickness ; 10s. per week for any sickness after ; death of member, £35 ; member's wife, £10 : —

" It is clear from these comparisons that the rates charged by all the courts are inadequate even at the youngest age given, and that at the highest age the rates should be increased 144 per cent, in nine of the courts, 31 per cent, in Courts Charleston and Royal Oak, 115 in Court Waireka, 106 iu Court Taranaki, and about 3 per cent, in Court Concord, always supposing that the experience of the District will be correctly represented by the Manchester Unity experience. " Another cause of the deficiency is to be found in the low rates of interest realized, or rather credited to the Sick and Funeral Fund. (See Table B.*) .... As stated in the early part of this report, seven of the courts appear to have systematically violated the rules of the District aud the law of the land by misappropriatingf a portion of the interest of the Sick and Funeral Fund ; while the members of Court Aorere have been so ignorant of their duty as to have misappropriated the whole of it. In several of the courts the amount of attention given to the proper and profitable investment of the funds seems to have been very small indeed. The fruit of all this carelessness and folly is now to be seen in the large deficiency brought out. Court Prido of the Forest is the only court which has realized rates of interest that can be considered fairly good, but had all the other courts done as well with their funds the deficiency would have been a good deal less than it is." The table mentioned in the foregoing extract may be summarized as follows :—

After explaining the causes to which the deficiency is due, the Valuers proceed to make recommendations as to the manner in which it is to be dealt with. They urge, in the first place, an immediate revision of the scale of contributions and benefits. In the event of the District not seeing its way to making an increase in the rates of contribution, the Valuers recommend that the benefits in protracted sickness be reduced to 10s. per week during the second six months of sickness, and ss. per week afterwards; atfd that the funeral benefit payable at the death of a member be reduced to £15, the extra payment of £20 from the'Widow and Orphan Fund to bo thus sacrificed. They point out that the adoption of this N eourse would be to at once reduce the deficiency from £12,784 to about £3,700. Secondly, they "urge that courts should pay the greatest attention to the prompt and profitable investment of the funds on first-class securities, such as first mortgages on freehold property; thirdly, that as much money as can be spared from the various management funds of the courts should be transferred to the corresponding benefit funds by way of recouping the latter for the interest wrongfully

appropriated to management expenses; fourthly, that greater trouble should be taken to accurately record the numerical and financial progress of the society, and the sickness and mortality experience, with the view, amongst other things, of exciting a greater interest among members in the condition and progress of their society ; and lastty, that every effort should be made to increase the membership of the courts, with the view of securing a nearer approach to an average sickness and mortality experience. Thus both the valuations reported during the year disclose a very unsatisfactory state of affairs. Largely has this condition of things been due to an ignorance among members of the first principles of sickness and life insurance. Too commonly, in particular, is the notion entertained that because the benefit funds are increasing year by year the condition of the societies may be regarded as sufficiently satisfactorj'. With the view of counteracting this erroneous idea the Eegistrar appends hereto a table, prepared by Mr. R. P. Hardy, the eminent English actuary, showing the progress of a sickness assurance fund the contributions to which are only just sufficient to enable the society to meet its engagements. It will be seen what very large and rapid accumulations are necessary in the early years of a society, not in order to produce a surplus fund, but simply in order to enable the bare engagements of the society to be met. In the ideal society to which the table refers there is no sick pay beyond the age of 05, and no new members are supposed to enter. Where, as in all New Zealand societies, sick pay is granted throughout life, and a continuous stream of new members is kept up, it is obvious that the increase in the funds must continue for a much longer time, in order that the relatively enormous liabilities of the distant future may be successfully met. Indeed the fact that a benefit fund has increased continuously for forty or fifty years is of itself no guarantee whatever that all the members will receive the full benefits to which in the future they may become entitled. " The WoEKrsrG op a Sickness Assurance Fund. " Suppose 1,000 persons of the age of 35 agree to form a society to secure sick-allowances up to age 65 for those that have been ill. The survivors of them must therefore contribute the sum of £1 17s. 3d. each at the beginning of every year, and those that have been sick may draw out of the funds at the end of the year 20s. for each week's illness. " The following table shows the income, outgo, and funds in hand every year, up to the time when all the surviving members attain the age of 65. It will be noticed that the income is for the first 18 years larger than the demands, but that after that time the demands exceed the income, leaving the deficiency to be met by a draft upon the invested fund, the amount of which is finally absorbed, the last year's claims being just met. " The society is then at an end, having accomplished its purposes." .

These valuations have been dealt with at some length, not only on account of their immediate bearing on the condition of the two Districts mentioned, but also as affording striking illustrations of the results of neglecting to comply with the first principles on which'such societies should be founded, viz., (1) the establishment of a scale of contributions adequate (if properly invested) to provide the benefits assured, and (2) the close investment of all the contributions at the highest rate of interest obtainable on first-class securities.

SCHEDULES.

SCHEDULE I. Explanation of Principal Changes made by " The Pjkiendlt Societies Act, 1882." (Circular.) Sir, — Registrar-General's Office, Wellington, 13th October, 1882. I have the honour to draw your attention to the fact that an Act of Parliament has been passed during the session of 1882 consolidating and slightly amending the law relating to friendly societies, and to lay before you a brief statement and explanation of the principal changes which are embodied in it. Section 10 (1, a). —By section 10 (1, a) of the new Act the Registrar is empowered to cancel the registration of a society or branch, if he thinks fit, on proof to his satisfaction that it has less than seven members. Experience has shown that where a society or branch has a very small number of members it is difficult, if not impossible, to obtain the services of competent officers, and that the returns and documents required by the Act are in danger of being negligently and inefficiently prepared. Moreover no society with a very limited number of contributors can be expected to meet its engagements for the payment of sick and funeral benefits ; and as, by section 10 of the Act of 1877, and by section 9 of the Act of 1882, seven is fixed as the minimum number of members of a society making application for registration, it is, therefore, consistent with this that the same number should be fixed as a minimum for a society remaining on the register. It must not be inferred, however, that a society with a small number of members, though exceeding seven, can be expected to work safely. Section 12 (1, e). —By section 12 (1, e) it is rendered necessary that societies, if electing to be valued by an Actuary appointed by the Registrar, should send to the Registrar, in advance, the fee required for such valuation. Section 12 (4).- —The 4th subsection of the 12th section is one of a most important nature. It has been one of the unfortunate consequences of the non-recognition of the peculiar constitution of the great affiliated orders in the Acts of 1856 and 1867 that a large number of lodges and courts which are, as a matter of fact, branches of registered societies, are either not registered at all, or are registered as independent societies. This being so, a doubt has arisen whether the annual return required to be furnished, and the valuation required to be made, by a registered " district " of one of the affiliated orders, are to be understood as including returns and valuations respectively of all the lodges comprised in that district, whether registered as branches, as separate societies, or not at all. The spirit of the Act of 1877 clearly required that this comprehensive sense should be attached to the provisions referred to ; for the annual return, and still more the valuation of a "district," must be fatally incomplete unless all its lodges are taken into account. Section 12 (4) of the new Act, therefore, explicitly provides that returns and valuations relating to districts of the affiliated orders shall be complete in the sense that they shall include all lodges (whether registered as branches, as separate societies, or not at all) which are, in fact, affiliated to such distriets. The effect of this provision is also to throw more distinctly on the district secretary the responsibility of making these complete returns to the Registrar, and, as a consequence, to render him liable for a default if he should neglect to furnish them. To enable such complete returns and valuations to be made it is also provided that lodge secretaries shall furnish the district secretary with every assistance that may be necessary to enable the returns to be supplied and the valuations to be made. Section 12 (6) renders it an offence under the Act if any registered branch wilfully fails to send any return or document, or wilfully neglects or refuses to furnish any information, required for the purposes of the Act by the Registrar or - other person authorized under the Act. Section 12.—Societies are, under the new Act, relieved from the duty of furnishing quinquennial returns of sickness and mortality, all the information formerly required in quinquennial returns being now supplied from year to year in the return specified in the second half of section 12 (1, d). The obligation to furnish the last-mentioned return is now expressly limited to friendly societies, to the exclusion of cattle insurance societies, benevolent societies, working men's clubs, and speciallyauthorized societies. Section 14 (5).- —Returns to District Land Registrars are no longer required to include the names of treasurers, but only of trustees, the latter being the only persons in whom the property of a registered society or branch is or can be vested. Section 14 (30).■ —The penalty for fraud and misappropriation of funds, and the obligation to make restitution, are now expressly annexed to the offence of applying to management or medical expenses, except on the authority of a Valuer's report made in accordance with the Act, any moneys (including interest) belonging to a benefit fund. The person so misapplying the funds becomes liable, not only to a heavy penalty, but also to the repayment of the money so misapplied. A treasurer or secretary effecting such a misappropriation will not be relieved of his liability to punishment and to make restitution even if his act is dictated to him by a general meeting or is authorized by the rules of his society or branch. Section 16. —The statutory provisions respecting the dissolution of registered societies are made capable of being extended to branches, if the central body of the society (i.e., the district executive) consents to have them so extended. Section 16 (7,"c). —In any case, however, the dissolution of a branch in an illegal manner (i.e., in a manner contrary to the rules and authority of the society of which it is a branch) renders every person aiding or abetting such dissolution liable to three months' imprisonment. Lodges or courts

10

H.—l.

registered as branches cannot dissolve except with the consent of their respective districts, or in accordance with the laws of their district or ordor, and any violation of these conditions is equivalent to a violation of the Act. Such an illegal dissolution would also involve some of the officers in the punishment imposed by section 14 (10) for misappropriation. Section 18 (2). —Section 18 (2) makes it obligatory upon registered societies to take the necessary steps for the registration of every existing branch not previously registered, as well as of every new branch; for this purpose, sending to the Registrar notice of its establishment, the name of the place where it is established, a list of the names of trustees and officers to sue and be sued, and a statement whether or not the rules of such branch are identical with those of the other branches of the society, and, if not so, a copy of the rules (if any) of such branch. Section 18 (4).I—Registration1—Registration of branches is rendered easier than heretofore because by virtue of section 18 (4) the necessity of separate lodge rules, i.e., of lodge rules distinct from the rules of the district, is dispensed with, provided always that the district rules make adequate provision for all matters relating to lodges. In cases where the district was registered before the Act of 1877 came into force, and where a complete amendment of rules has. not been since registered, it will usually be found that there is not adequate provision in respect of lodge matters. In such cases, therefore, if it is desired that any benefit be derived from this facility for registration, it will be needful for the district to register a sufficient amendment of rules to meet the necessary requirements. It is important to observe that the registration of a lodge as a branch is now no longer dependent on the consent of the lodge itself, except where the lodge is registered as a separate society, as the duty of taking steps towards that end is in all other cases absolutely thrown upon the district. Section 28. —The important privilege accorded by section 21 of the Act of 1877 to a dissatisfied minority of the members of a registered society of petitioning the Registrar to authorize either an inspection or an extraordinary meeting of the society is extended, by section 28 of the new Act, to the case of registered branches, provided that the central body of the society consents to such extension. Hitherto this privilege has been confined to the case of bodies registered as separate societies. Section 29.—A1l officers, both of registered societies, and of the lodges, courts, &c, affiliated to registered districts, are required by the new Act to become bound with one surety or else to give the security of a guarantee society, -whether the rules of the society or branch require it or not. But the amount of such bond or security is left to the discretion of societies and branches respectively. The necessary steps should at once be taken to give effect to this provision. Societies and branches are recommended to obtain copies of the new Act, which may be procured from the Government Storekeeper at a charge of ninepence. m I have, &c, Wm. R. E. Beown, The Secretary Registrar of Friendly Societies.

SCHEDULE 11. Paper op Test Questions which have been submitted to Applicants toe the Office of Valued. 1. To what sum will £15 accumulate in ten years at 7 per cent, compound interest? Explain each step of your process. Explain what is meant by the present value of an annuity certain. 2. According to Mr. Eatcliffe's latest mortality table, out of 100,000 persons living at age 18 half will die before they reach the age of 65. Yet the " expectation of life "at age 18 was, not between 46 and 47 years, but between 42 and 43 years. Explain how this is possible. On what data was this mortality table based ? 3. The probability that Smith will remain a member of his court at the end of ten years from the present date is two-thirds. There is one chance in eight of his dying in the interval. Estimate the probability of his seceding from the court during the interval. 4. What is the present value at age 25 of a sick benefit of £1 per week during life according to Mr. Ratcliffe's sickness and mortality tables, interest being reckoned at 4 per cent. ? Would it be more dangerous to reckon interest at 5 per cent, in the case of old members or in that of young members, and why ? 5.
