FRIENDLY SOCIETIES (SEVENTH 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 FOE THE YEAE 1883. In order to publish the operations of friendly societies for the year 1882 at the earliest possible date* a table embodyii.g the chief features as to niKiberahip and funds, compiled from the returns which had up to date beeu received at thia office, wag printed and laid before Parliament during the session of 1883. The tables which are appended to this -report are compiled from the returns, as completed and amended, for the say io period, and show the transactions of the various societies in detail. 2. That societies are satisfied generally with the working of the Friendly Societies Act might at first sight seem to be evidenced by the large number of registrations effected during the year 1833. It is to be feared, however, in spite of this encouraging fact, t] iafr a considerable proportion of the societies are deeply dissatisfied with those sections of it which impose duties and obligations, although in the case of other societies the reverse can with confidence be affirmed. It is the earnest wish of the Ecgistrar to remove, as far as possible, any real ground of complaint, but it has been his duty to carry out the Act faithfully. lie has, however, been in correspondence with several leading members of friendly societies respecting suggestions they have made for modifying some of the provisions cf the Act, and has recently had personal interviews on this matter with gentlemen in Auckland and New Plymouth representing societies in those localities. 3. It is satisfactory to be able to report that the advice given by the Eegistrar, as well as by the Public Valuers, who have b^en unanimous in urging the adoption of a sufficient scale of contributions, has not been offered altogether in vain. Some of the societies, which on valuation showed a deficit, have raised the scale; but it must be admitted that the majority do not appear to place faith in the actuarial valuations. On the other hand, the secretary of a recently-formed lodge of Druids, in the return for 18-32, which showed a considerable number of lapses, stated, by way of comment, that many members had left the lodgi, fearing that, at the low rate of contribution adopted by this body, a society would not be likely to fulfil its promises. Very lately it has been decided by the Grand Lodge of Druids in Australia to adopt a higher scale. Pome of the reasons for the want of confidence displayed by so many New Zealand societies in the reports furnished by the Public Valuers are discussed, below, and suggestions are made towards increasing their faith in the conclusions of actuarial science. i. During the calendar year 1883 payments amounting to £236 16s. were authorized for valuations of societies; and Mr. Alfred Y/iggins, of Wellington, a gentleman who had given evidence of the requisite actuarial attainments and rare logical power, as well as much familiarity with the practical working of friendly societies, was appointed a Public Valuer under the Friendly Societies Act. One of Mr. Wiggins's valuation reports is appended as Schedule I. hereto. 5. The St. Patrick's (Christchurch) Branch of the New Zealand Hibernian Catholic Benefit Society having neglected to furnish returns required by the Valuer, it was necessary to enforce compliance by prosecution. This was the only case in which legal proceedings were instituted during the year. 6. In consequence of applications from societies, the opinion of the Crown Law Officers has been taken on the interpretation of. sections 13 (2) and 29 (1) of " Tlie Friendly Societies Act, 1882." In reference to the former, it is held that bank cheques do not come within the exemptions made in favour of friendly societies ; and, in reference to the latter, that trustees are not included among the officers of a friendly society by whom security is required to be given.

Court Sherwood Forest, Nelson District, Ancient Order of Foresters. ~ Eobin Hood „ ~ From Schedule 11. appended to this report it will be seen that 36 bodies, which are actually branches of societies within the colony, still retain their place on the register as separate societies. It is obvious that at the present rate of conversion it will be long before the registration of all these bodies will be placed on its proper footing—before their legal status will correspond to their de facto position; and, as the Friendly Societies Act makes the conversion dependent on the will of the branch, it is open to lodges and courts which value the anomalous position of independence secured to them to resist a change which would legally subject them to the control of the District authorities. CANCELLATIONS OP EEGISTEY. 12. The registry of the following societies was cancelled on the ground that they had ceased to exist:— Limehills Working-Men's Club. North Waimate Working-Men's Club. New Zealand Prudential Assurance Society. Instruments of dissolution were registered in respect of— Winchester Lodge, Independent Order of Odd Fellows. New Zealand Bail way Employ6s' Benefit Society (Christchurch Branch). Waimea Branch, Hibernian Australasian Catholic Benefit Society. STATISTICAL TABLES FOR 1882. 13. Appended to this report are seven tables, compiled from the returns for 1882, showing the progress during that year as respects both membership and funds ; the receipts and expenditure both of the Sick and Funeral Fund and of the Management Fund; the nature of the investments, with their respective rates of interest, &c. 14. The number of societies and branches (exclusive of central bodies) dealt with in these tables is 272, distributed according to orders as follows : — Manchester Unity Independent Order of Odd Fellows ... 107 Lodges. Independent Order of Odd Fellows (American) ... ... 13 Lodges. National Independent Order of Odd Fellows ... ... 2 Lodges. Ancient Order of Foresters ... ... ... 75 Courts. Ancient Order of Shepherds ... ... ... 2 Sanctuaries. United Ancient Order of Druids ... ... ... 22 Lodges. Loyal United Friends' Benefit Society ... ... 1 Lodge.

New Zealand Hibernian Catholic Benefit Society..-. ... 4 Branches. Protestant Alliance Friendly Society of Australasia ... 5 Lodges. Eailway Employes'Benefit Societies ... ... ... 2 Societies.] Isolated Local Society ... ... ... ... 1 Society. 15. The number of members of the above-mentioned lodges* was 19,206. The total funds amounted to £232,469 14s. Bd., of which £204,780 os. 9d. belonged to the Sick and Funeral Fund. This gives an average of £12 2s. Id. per member in respect of the total funds, and £10 13s. 3d. in respect of the Sick and Funeral Fund, and shows, as compared with the previous year, a decrease in the former of ss. 7d., and in the latter of 7s. Id. The difference is accounted for by the fact that nearly all the lodges which appear in these tables this year for the first time have been established at a recent date, and have therefore a small average fund per member. 16. The numerical progress, mortality, and sickness are shown in Table 11. The total number of admissions during 1882 was 3,386, of lapses (including transfers—styled " clearances " —to other lodges) 2,109, and of deaths 129, giving a net increase of 1,148. As in the year 1880 a net loss was reasonably assumed to be a consequence of depression of trade in the colony, it seems only fair to suppose that the above considerable increase in membership indicates that there was in 1882 some improvement in the general prosperity at any rate of the working-classes. The following table gives a comparative view of the numbers of lodges varying in membership from under 50 to over 400 :—

The average number of members in a lodge was 70-6. The number of deaths of members for the year was 129, or 6'92 per 1,000 members, as against 7'36 in the year 1881. The number of deaths of members' wives was 68, or 3'65 per I,ooo 'members, as against 3-86 in 1881. Owing to the incompleteness of the marriage statistics furnished, it is not possible to give the death-rate per 1,000 members' wives.

* The word "lodge" is to be understood throughout as embracing all synonymous terms, as court, tent, &c, as used respectively in the various affiliated orders.

The number of members sick was 2,586, or 13'9 per cent.—a percentage almost identical with that of 1881. The total amount of sickness, 16,972 weeks 6 days, gives an average of rather more than 09 week per member, and of 6-6 weeks per member sick. The comparison of these results with corresponding averages obtained from the experience of eight of the earliest-established lodges of the Manchester Unity affords, like the similar comparisons instituted in the Registrar's former reports, striking proof of the rapid rate at which the sickness experience of a society increases with increasing age. The average ago of these eight lodges was 36 years, and the number of members sick was 16-5 per cent. The average sickness was 1-83 week per member, and above 11 weeks per member sick. The sickness experience for the years 1881 and 1882, when classified so that acute attacks may be distinguished from sickness more or less chronic, is divided as follows: — *First Six Months. fSecond Six Months. {After Twelve Months. 1881 ... ... ... 67-53 9-17 23-30 1882 ... ... ■ ... 66-44 8-89 24-67 —showing an exceedingly slight variation; but the experience of the eight lodges above mentioned is of a very different character, being 45-66 per cent, for the first six months, 12-01 per cent, for the second six months, and 42-33 per cent, after twelve months, the increase in the proportion of chronic sickness being thus very marked. The number of lodges which had sickness experience extending beyond the first six months of continuous sickness was 29-41 per cent, in 1882, as against 39-64 per cent, in 1881; and the number which had sickness experience extending beyond twelve months was 21-32 per cent., as against 31-36 per cent, in 1881. The diminished percentage is, of course, due to the inclusion of a large number of recently-established lodges in the tables for 1882. 17. Table 111. shows the number of members classified according to age and conjugal condition. The proportion of married to unmarried was very nearly as 13 to 7, the married members comprising 64-76 of the total number. From the columns relating to age, it will be seen that 808 or 4-21 per cent, of the members were under 20 years of age, 7,047 or 36'69 per cent, were between 20 and 30, 6,481 or 33-74 per cent, between 30 and 40, 3,784 or 19-70 per cent, between 40 and 50, 749 or 3-90 per cent, between 50 and 60, 95 or -49 per cent, between 60 and 70, and 16 or -08 per cent, over 70, while the ages of 226 or 1-17 per cent, of the members could not be ascertained. On the other hand, in the eight lodges established before the year 1850, it will be seen that, out of 1,727 members, 43 or 2-49 per cent, were under 20 years of age, 525 or 30-40 per cent, were between 20 and 30, 525 or the same percentage between 30 and 40, 396 or 22-93 per cent, between 40 and 50, 158 or 9-09 per cent, between 50 and 60, 54 or 3-13 per cent, between 60 and 70, and 11 or -69 per cent, over 70 years of age, while the ages of 15 or -87 per cent, were not specified. It will thus be seen that the percentage of members over 60 was between 6 and 7 times greater in these old lodges than in the societies taken altogether, while the percentage of members over 70 was between 8 and 9 times as great. Nevertheless, it must be admitted that the absolute number of aged members in the long-established lodges is exceedingly small, and this result is doubtless due to the large number of secessions which have taken place. The secession-rate in the colonies is very high, and the average duration of -membership is consequently small (notwithstanding a lower mortality) as compared with that in English societies. 18. Table IV. deals with the Benefit Funds of the various societies, giving the particulars of the annual receipts and expenditure, together with the amount of the fund in each lodge at the beginning and end of the year. The contributions to this fund amounted to £25,177 os. 9d., being an average of £1 7s. per member. This average is nearly the same as that of the three previous years. Although several societies have increased their rate during that period, the effect on the statistical tables has been neutralized by the registration of a large number of Druid lodges with very low rates of contributions. The receipts from entrance and clearance fees were £1,766 17s. 3d., or 10s. sd. per member admitted. The average for the year 1881 was 10s. 9d. The total amount paid as sick benefits during the year was £13,738 12s. 3d., or 14s. 9d. per member, and £5 6s. 2d. per member sick, as compared with 15s. 6d. and £5 13s. 3d. in the year 1881; and the average weekly pay, which has been nearly constant for four years, was 16s. 2d. The funeral benefits amounted to £2,853 Bs. The amount of levies to the District Funeral Funds was £3,942 3s. lid., or an average of 4s. 6d. per member in those societies which have a District Funeral Fund. In 1881 the average was 4s. sd. The total receipts of the Sick and Funeral Funds were £46,459 9s. 4d., or £2 9s. lOd. per member, as against £2 10s. 3d. in the previous year. The total payments were £23,452 Bs. 10d., or £1 ss. 2d. per member. The expenditure, therefore, was, as in 1881, a little more than 50 per cent, of the receipts. 19. Table V. exhibits the transactions of the Medical and Management Expenses Funds. In each lodge there is a single fund, usually called tho "Incidental" or tho "Management" Fund, from which medical and management expenses are jointly defrayed. The total amount of expenditure from this fund, for all the lodges, was £31,567 Is. lid., distributed as follows : —■

* 1.e., sickness which had not yet lasted more than six months since the commencement of the attack. t Sickness which had already lasted more than six months, but not more than twelve months. For such sickness societies usually make a weekly allowance at a reduced rate. J Sickness which had already been protracted beyond twelve months. When illness is protracted beyond this, point, the weekly allowance is usually still further reduced.

The sum of the contributions and levies to these funds was less than in 1881 to the extent of 2s. Id. per member. This may probably be accounted for by a diminution in the levies required to be made during the year. 20. Table VI. shows the distribution of the societies' funds as on the 31st December, 1882. Of the total amount, £130,109 was placed at interest, and the value of laud and buildings was set down at £81,597. Cash in hand amounted to £13,876; and £6,888 represented value of goods, regalia, debts, &c. The following is a statement of funds and assets as at the end of tho year : — Funds. £ Assets. £ Sick and Funeral Funds ... ... 204,780 Investments at interest ... ... 130,109 Medical and Management Expenses 21,529 Value of land and buildings ... 81,597 Funds Cash not bearing interest ... ... 13,876 Other funds and property ... ... 6,161 Value of goods, regalia, &c. ... 5,728 Other assets ... ... ... 1,160 £232,470 £232,470 21. Table VII. shows how the funds at interest were placed, with the rates per cent, earned by the various investments. £13,263 was in the Post-Offiee Savings-Back, and £28,095 in other banks. The average interest on the latter was 4 T 7^ per cent. £731 was on deposit with companies, &c, at an average interest of 5f per cent.; £75,936 was on mortgage of freehold property, yielding on an average B T^j per cent. ; £7,648 was invested in Government and municipal debentures, at an average of 6£ per cent.; £3,561 in shares in companies, &c., yielding about 8 per cent.; and £875 on securities other than those above mentioned, at an average of 8^ per cent. QUINQUENNIAL STATISTICS OF SICKNESS AND MORTALITY. 22. In the year 1881 a report was issued by the department on the sickness and mortality experienced by New Zealand friendly societies during the five years ended 31st December, 1877. This report was based on the quinquennial returns supplied to the Eegistrar during 1878 in accordance with the Friendly Societies Act of the previous year. By the Amendment Act of 1878 an annual return of sickness and mortality, and an annual spt of cards for members newly admitted, were substituted for the quinquennial returns previously in use. These returns and sets of cards have been supplied to the Eegistrar year by year, and it follows, therefore, that in 1883 the materials for a second quinquennial tabulation had been accumulated-. It was found impossible, owing to excessive pressure of work, to enter upon this compilation during the year 1883; but at the present date tin; work is well in hand, and the Eegistrar subjoins herewith a summary table showing the percentages resulting from that portion of the statistics which has already been completely dealt with.

23. During the .year 1883, and to a still greater extent during the current year, much dissatisfaction has been expressed by societies at the requirement, imposed by the Act of 1878, to supply these sickness returns and sets of cards. The feeling among the complaining lodges has usually been that the department might reasonably demand an annual return of the finances and numerical

progress of a society, but that it is unreasonable and vexatious to insist upon a series of detailed statistical documents, which shall enable the Eegistrar to trace the progress of each individual member. It was the desire of the Government to consider favourably any well-grounded complaint on the part of societies; but, as the Eegistrar could not report that the statistical documents, in question—which consist of the form of card and form of experience return appended as Schedules 111, and IV. hereto—were unessential to that periodical compilation of sickness and mortality experience which it is one of the objeois of the Act to secure, it was decided not to dispense with the requirement objected to. Nevertheless, as the compilations aimed at were recognized as not likely, owing to insufficiency of numbers, to possess any great actuarial value until the lapse of nearly a generation, it was considered only fair to remunerate secretaries for their trouble in supplying the necessary data. The experience returns and cards for the year 1883 have accordingly been paid for by fees graduated according to the following scale: For lodges with 50 members or under, 7s. 6d.; with an additional ss. for each additional 50 members or part of 50 members. VALUATIONS. 24. During 1883 no less than fourteen complete valuations were returned to the Eegistrar. Six of these were valuations of districts, each containing several affiliated lodges and courts, respecting each of which a separate valuation report was forwarded to the Eegistrar. The report made by Mr. Wiggins to the Wellington District of Manchester Unity Odd Fellows is given in extenso as Schedule I. hereto, as it deals in a very able manner with an unusually large number of important questions affecting the welfare of friendly societies; and a table summarizing the results of all valuations made under the Act, and returned to the Eegistrar before the Ist January of the present year, is appended as Schedule V. 25. From this table it will be seen that the majority of lodges hitherto valued exhibit what is technically called a deficiency. Much misapprehension appears to exist among members of lodges as to the intended significance of this term. By some it has been held to imply that the outstanding debts of the lodge are in excess of its present assets, and that the lodge is therefore, in the commercial sense of the word, insolvent. Great has been the indignation of members possessed with this idea at being told that their lodge, which has possibly a large accumulated fund, "exhibits a deficiency." It is necessary therefore to explain that the deficit announced by a Valuer is not one in the ordinary commercial sense. It arises by comparing the fund actually possessed by the lodge with the fund which, in the opinion of the Valuer, it ought to possess in order that, with the contributions and interest expected to be received, it may be reasonably certain to meet the liabilities of the future as they accrue. But even amongst those who are aware that the valuation is a discounting of the future, and not a mere inventory of present assets and liabilities, there is often a misunderstanding as to what is exactly implied when a lodge is pronounced "insolvent." It is readily understood that a certain standard is set up by the Valuer by which to discount or estimate the future. Certain assumptions are made as to the future experience of the lodge, both with regard to the interest its funds will realize, and with regard to the sickness and mortality which will befall its members. And when, as often happens, these assumptions are less favourable than what the experience of the past would indicate, great discontent is expressed at what is considered an unnecessarily severe valuation. A further assumption is uniformly made by the Valuers which is certainly contrary to all the experience of the past, and admittedly most unlikely to be realized in the future. It is assumed, namely, that all the existing members of a lodge will remain in it till death; whereas all experience shows that a large proportion secede after having been members for a comparatively short time, and after having paid into the funds far more than they have ever drawn out. It is easy to see that this assumption has a tendency to produce an over-estimate of the liabilities of a lodge. On all these grounds a considerable number of societies seem to have lost all faith in the valuations, and to be in no way disconcerted, but only indignant, when they are declared by a Valuer to be insolvent. What reply can be made to the position thus taken up by the societies? It must be admitted in the first place that the use of the term "insolvent," as applied to all societies which do not come up to the. Valuers' standards, is objectionable. The word " unsafe," or even " unsound," would be more legitimate.- - For it does not follow from the fact that a lodge is unable to stand the Valuer's test, that the lodge is certain or even likely to fail in fulfilling its obligations, but only that there is a very appreciable danger of its so failing. A distinction must be recognized between the most probable future liabilities of societies, and those heavier liabilities which, though not most probable, are not by any means very improbable. It is clear that a society must be able to face these heavier liabilities before it can be called " safe," although it cannot fairly be called " insolvent " unless it is unable even to cope with those lighter liabilities distinguished as the "most probable " ones. 26. Under these circumstances the Eegistrar has made the suggestion that, in the case of each lodge, a second valuation should be made, showing the sum the lodge ought to have in hand to meet its engagements on the most probable assumptions respecting its future experience. Where the funds are well invested, a higher rate of interest than 4 per cent, would be used in this second valuation, and also a reasonable allowance would be made for the profits likely to accrue from future secessions. The Valuer would of course point out candidly that the reserve fund thus indicated could not be sufficient to put the society in a reasonably safe position, and he would make his more rigid valuation as heretofore in order to indicate the heavier reserve fund required for safety. The two results would appear side by side, and each could be taken for what'jt is worth. Many societies, which now console themselves with the reflection that the deficiencies which Valuers allege against them are merely due to over-severity in the standards of valuation employed, would be wholesomely astonished to discover that even by the more lenient methods their financial condition was demonstrated to be unsound. 27. Although the Eegistrar thus considers that a change in the direction demanded by many of

H.—i

the societies would have a beneficial effect, provided that the original and more severe method of valuation be conserved, and its results exhibited side by side with those of the proposed new method, he is bound in fairness to admit that some highly-competent judges hold the opposite opinion. A gentleman who has for many years been connected with one of the largest societies in the colony, and whose knowledge of friendly society finance is both accurate and extensive, has lately condemned the proposed change as decidedly impolitic. In a memorandum to the Eegistrar, courteously furnished in reply to a request for his opinion, he has expressed his views in the following terms:— " After full consideration of the subject, and conversations with Messrs. , I am decidedly opposed to effect being given to the desire expressed by Mr. Wright* and some others for the employment of a higher rate than 4 per cent, in our valuations, and for an allowance being made on account of secessions. " (1.) Because, in my opinion, 4 per cent, is as high a rate of interest as can be adopted with safety, and to employ a higher rate would therefore be misleading and dangerous. " (2.) Because neither the Valuer nor the Eegistrar can control the use to which the results of a valuation at a higher rate than 4 per cent, may be put. In the great majority of cases members would regard, and lead other persons to believe, that the valuation most favourable to their own society was the correct one; and, where much was required, little or nothing would be done to improve the condition of the society. " (3.) Because all, or nearly all, those persons who ask for the employment of a higher rate of interest and an allowance for secessions in the valuations, have not acquainted themselves sufficiently well with the nature and conditions of the various matters involved to be capable of forming a just opinion on the merits of the case. With fuller knowledge and more experience this agitation will soon die out in the North, as it has already died out here. " (4.) Because members generally will carp and cavil at any method of valuation which fails to show a surplus in their particular society. " (5.) Because Valuers ought to leave a margin for safety somewhere. Their advice regarding the rate of contributions to be charged is not taken; they cannot control the number of members, or the safe and profitable investment of the funds, or secure honest administration in the societies; and the determination of the rate of interest to be used, and the method of dealing with protracted sickness and secessions, are the only items left them. " For the foregoing reasons, and others that might be mentioned, but which will be obvious to yourself, I am decidedly opposed to any alteration being made in the rate of interest employed in our valuations. When sufficient experience of the rates, of sickness, mortality, secessions, &c, in this colony has been collected to afford some real guidance, then alterations may be required in our present methods of dealing with these matters; but that time has not arrived yet." Of the reasons here urged, the Eegistrar considers that the one marked (2) possesses great weight, although he holds that the danger there indicated is more than counterbalanced by the advantages to be anticipated from the introduction of the new method. The reasons marked (1) and (5) would bo conclusive if it were proposed to abolish the old method of valuation, but they do not seem to the Eegistrar to have any force against the proposal to establish the new method side by side with it. Lastly, arguments (3) and (4), though undoubtedly tending somewhat to weaken the grounds on which it has been proposed to make the change, can scarcely be held to remove those grounds. 28. It should be distinctly understood that, under the present Act, the Eegistrar has no power to determine the r^te of interest at which a valuation is to be made, nor whether secessions are to be taken into account or not. These points are left to the discretion of Valuers. The Eegistrar can only advise, and express his opinion after a valuation is completed as to the correctness or otherwise of the principles on which the valuation has been made. His opinion, however, as frequently expressed and still held, is to the effect that the standards hitherto adopted by the Valuers are necessary and sufficient to insure the safety of societies (with prudent management), although —or rather, because —they considerably over-estimate the most probable liabilities which the society under prudent administration is likely to have to meet. It is evident that if only the most probable liabilities are provided for, a society is in a thoroughly unsafe position,, even with the best management, for the chances of permanent success and ultimate failure are, so far as they depend on the existing contracts, nearly even. TRADE UNIONS. 29. By " The Trade Union Act, 1878," the Eegistrar of Friendly Societies is constituted Eegistrar of Trade Unions, and is required to report annually on his proceedings in that capacity. It therefore becomes his duty to report that, during the year 1883, applications for registry were made by two unions, viz., the "Wellington Licensed Victuallers' Trade Union Association," and the " Lyttelton Lumpers' Union." Both these societies were duly registered during the year, although the registration of the former has since been cancelled at its own request, on the ground that the number of its members had fallen below the minimum number required by the rules.

SCHEDULE I. Eepoet by Public Valuer on the afpaies op the Wellington District, 1.0.0.F., M.U. To the Grand Master, and other District Officers. Gentlemen, — In pursuance of instructions received from your Corresponding Secretary, in a letter dated the 10th<July last, I have made a valuation of the lodges in your district, the particulars for such valuation having been furnished me as at the 31st December, 1882. Prom the particulars thus furnished I find that there were in the district, at the date of valuation, 834 members, distributed among eleven lodges. This is exclusive of two lodges from which no returns have been received, viz., the Masterton and Petone Lodges. The latter, lam informed, has been formed so lately that at the date of valuation it had no members entitled to benefits. Of these 834 members, 532 were married, and 302 single. Their average age was 34 years and 9 months, and the total contributions to benefit funds, or net premium income of the lodges, amounted to £900 15s. Id. per annum. In Table A, appended to this report, you will find these and other particulars of the various lodges tabulated. With regard to the benefits promised, I find that they vary in different lodges. Six of the lodges allow 20s. per week during the first six months' sickness, and £20 on the death of a member ; while in the remaining five the benefits in these cases are respectively 15s. per week and £15. In nine lodges the rate of sick pay for the second six months is 10s. per week, in one it is 155., and in another 7s. 6d. Nine of the lodges pay 7s. 6d., after twelve months' continuous sickness, for the remainder of sickness; one pays 10s.; and the other divides the periods, and pays ss. per week during the third six months, and 2s. 63. thereafter. The contributions vary considerably. The District Rules prescribe a graduated scale of contributions for the following benefits: £1 per week sick benefit during the first six months, 10s. per week during the next six months, and 7s. 6d. during remainder of illness; £20 on death of member, and £10 on death of member's wife. These contributions vary from 2s. 7d. per lunar month for members entering at age eighteen, to ss. Id. for those entering at forty. An entrance fee varying from 20s. to £4 10s. is also prescribed. I regret to find, however, that only two lodges (the Combination and Kainapoura) have adopted this scale. In other lodges the contributions vary from 13s. per annum at all ages to 265. at all ages. In some of these lodges the inequality of these uniform contributions has been somewhat mitigated by the imposition of an annual additional rate varying with age from 2s. to 7s. 6d. In others, half the rates prescribed in the district rule appears to be charged. At present lam merely recounting the statements of fact on which this valuation was based. Any comments which it may be necessary to make on these circumstances I reserve for a later peribd of this report, and for my reports to the individual lodges. Before laying the valuation balance-sheet before you, it may be well, seeing that a great amount of misconception appears to prevail on the subject, to explain briefly what the valuation of a friendly society is, and why it is a necessity for every society which desires to be in a position to meet its engagements. A valuation of a friendly society, then, is exactly equivalent to the periodical stock-taking which every prudent man of business takes care to have made of his property and liabilities. The merchant who should neglect this precaution would rightly be held guilty of a grave neglect of duty, and if, in consequence of this neglect, he went on trading in a manner which brought him to the Insolvency Court, and involved others in disaster, he would lay himself open to the gravest censure. But all the considerations which affect the trader apply with even greater force to the case of a friendly society, for the latter receives money saved by the thrifty and selfdenying of the wage-earning class; these payments may often be continued for a long term of years, and frequently are made at the cost of great temporary inconvenience. In return the society promises help when that help is most sorely needed —when the bread-winner is stricken down by sickness, or laid low by the inevitable hand of death. How great is the responsibility, therefore, of those who direct the operations of the society! A harder case cannot well be conceived than that of a man who, during the best portion of his life, has made payments into a society, and in the evening of his days finds that the assistance on which he had relied, and which was his by right, is not forthcoming. Some over-sanguine members of societies appear to think such a supposition imaginary and impossible; but those who choose to acquaint themselves with the facts are aware that such cases have been only too frequent. In the inaugural address of the Grand Master of your own noble order, delivered at the Grand Annual Movable Committee, held in Nottingham on May Ist, the Grand Master, quoting from a return which had been laid before Parliament, said : " It appears that 647 Unions made returns, containing 11,304 adult male paupers who had been members of friendly societies, of which number 7,391 had ceased to be members from non-payment of contributions, &c, and 3,913 from the breaking-up of the societies." Now, how are such disastrous results to be rendered all but impossible for the future ? Various provisoes are necessary, on which I hope to touch briefly before concluding this report; but, however sound the basis and however good the management of a society, I have no hesitation in affirming that a periodical investigation into the state of its affairs is absolutely essential to its stability. Mr. Charles Kardwick, Past Grand Master of your order, and the author of a manual which is an acknowledged authority on friendly society matters, enumerates among the conditions which are " indispensably necessary to insure stability" the following : "A quinquennial or other periodical revision or investigation into the state of the assets and liabilities, with the view to the adjustment of any irftsgularity which the conditions may have failed to provide for." And, commenting on this periodical revision, he further says : " Even if all-powerful necessity did not demand it, a proper sense of equity and honour would suggest the adoption of some such provision, in order that the errors or imperfections of the passing years of any society should not be exclusively visited upon the heads of those who may join the club long after they were committed. On the other hand, if any particular institution, owing to the

H.—l

generally healthy character of its members during any given period, or through superior management and investment, has realized a profit, it is but equity that they who have earned the surplus should receive a bonus upon their claims as in a regular assurance company. If the reverse be the case, it is equally an act of justice that they should be called upon to pay a small levy to counterbalance any deficiency in the ascertained assets resulting from the excess of their claims over the general average expectation." In contending thus for the necessity of a valuation, I am not supposing that the district officers are either unaware of its importance, or in any manner averse to its taking place. But in the course of the prosecution of my duties as valuer I have become aware that there is a feeling in existence among societies against the necessity or usefulness of valuations. As you will probably take some means of circulating this report among the lodges of your district, I take the opportunity of placing before members, who may be more or less imperfectly informed on the matter, some of the reasons which go to show that it is both necessary and beneficial. It has been urged that the returns required to enable a valuation to be performed are "inquisitorial and vexatious." I suppose by this is meant that information is asked for which the society wishes to keep secret. But, as before remarked, a friendly society offers certain future benefits in exchange for present payments of money. The question, therefore, naturally suggests itself, whether such an institution has any moral or equitable right to keep back from its members, or intending members, such information as will enable them to judge, with some degree of confidence, as to the stability or otherwise of the society. What would be thought of an assurance society which declined to permit any investigation into its affairs? Evidently the public would lose confidence in such an association, and its less reticent rivals would carry off its business. No sound society can possibly suffer by the most searching investigation into its affairs, and the widest possible promulgation of the results. On the contrary, a society constituted on a safe basis, and properly managed, must have everything to gain by such a proceeding. If, on the other hand, a society is in an insecure position, a valuation will point out the causes of such an unsatisfactory state of affairs, and the members may probably bo able to rectify it. If they fail to do this, they cannot complain if would-be members pass such a society by, and make choice of its financially sounder neighbour; and in this case men, who are incapable of judging correctly themselves on such a point, will be saved the disastrous consequences which must flow from uniting themselves to a society which is on a wrong path, and declines to amend its ways. It has been further alleged that valuations are worthless, because the dicta of actuaries are unwarranted by experience, that they are mere "theories," and are contrary to "practice." Now, if there is one branch of inquiry to which this objection is -more utterly inapplicable than any other, it is the one in question, viz., investigations as to the probabilities of human sickness and mortality. For the expectation of the rate at which these events will occur in the future is based —not upon any " theory," but—upon the results of careful, laborious, and extensive observations of the manner in which they have occurred in the past. How utterly groundless such an assertion is, and how valid the doctrine which lies at the basis of the science, viz-., that under given similar circumstances we may expect similar results, may be seen from the subjoined table, which I extract from the latest and, in many respects, the most complete contribution to vital statistics yet published, " The Rates of Mortality and Sickness according to the Experience of the Ancient Order of Foresters Friendly Society, by Francis G. P. Neison, F.S.S., &c": —

Comparative Amount of Sickness in Various Periods of Years, according to the Adjusted Results of Different Inquiries.

From this table it will be seen how wonderfully close is the approximation between the sickness experience of the two largest orders and that of friendly societies generally, on which the Government returns are based; and this although nearly forty years have elapsed between the first and last dates included in the compilation. Whichever of these tables, be taken as the basis of a valuation, it seems to me, then, that the assertion that it was based-on "theory" as opposed to " practice " is & singularly groundless one. It has further been objected that these tables are derived from the experience of an old and thickly-populated country like Great Britain, and that here we may expect better results, as our conditions of life are superior to those of the members of friendly societies in England. Well, it may be so. Reasoning a priori we might reasonably hope that such will prove to be the case. But 2—H. 1.

H.—l

as yet no sufficient body of data has been procured to enable us to make such an assumption, and, as far as the collection of statistics has gone, such an hypothesis cannot be sustained. In the case of your own district, the sickness experienced during the past five years had been in excess of that to be expected according to the experience of the English societies. The question raised, however, shows the great importance of the collection of universal and reliable statistics of the experience of friendly societies in the colony. It is entirely in the interest of the societies that these statistics should be collected, and it is to be regretted that in some instances the department charged with the duty of collecting and compiling them meets with anything but cordial co-operation on the part of those who really are chiefly interested in their completeness and accuracy. The tables used in this valuation are those compiled by the late Mr. Ratcliffe, comprising the experience of your own order during the years 1866-70. This experience is the largest ever collected by any person or society, and includes the observation of persons passing through 1,321,006 years of life, and experiencing 1,975,032 weeks of sickness. It has been assumed that all funds will be invested, as fast as they accrue, at 4 per cent. I regret to find that this last assumption is not altogether warranted by the experience of the past. In Table C will be found the rates of interest which have been credited to the Benefit Fund of the lodges during the past quinquennium, and in six out of the eleven lodges composing your district less than this rate has been earned, while in three instances no interest at all appears among the receipts. The necessity of prompt investment of every shilling of capital as fast as it accrues cannot be too strongly impressed upon all officers of friendly societies. That this necessity is only too generally ignored is quite evident, and in many instances the neglect of the practice of prompt investment is sufficient of itself to account for the bad financial position of a society. In your district I find that, out of total funds amounting to £18,360, no less than £672 14s. 6d. was deposited on current account in banks or in the hands of officers, and thus earning no interest, while .£13,711 4s. Id. was invested in "land and buildings." Of this sum, £11,780 belonged to the two Wellington lodges, and was yielding some interest; but the remainder, nearly £2,000, the value of the halls belonging to country lodges, is yielding, I fear, only a nominal return. It is urged by some officers having control over lodge funds that it is necessary to have a considerable sum on hand in order to meet with promptitude any claims that may arise. No doubt these claims ought to be met without delay; but I would venture to suggest that, for such funds as it is deemed necessary to have ready access to, the Post-Office Savings-Bank offers a mode of investment which, while allowing the account to be operated on almost, if not quite, as easily as an ordinary bank account, yet yields interest on all that portion which it may not be necessary to draw out. I append the valuation balance-sheet of the district as a whole. The first two items on the debit side show the amount of capital which it would be necessary to have in hand to enable the lodges to provide the benefits promised to their members, supposing no further contributions were receivable from them. On the other side appears the capitalized value of those future contributions. The difference between these two sums ought to be in hand to enable the society to be in a position to meet its liabilities. I regret to say that in your district, as a whole, this is not the case, there being a net deficiency of £1,284 12s. 4d. Following is the balance-sheet :— Valuation Balance-sheet as at the 31st December, 1882. Dr. £ s. d. Gr. £ s. d.

It is also an encouraging fact that the deficiency is not so great but that it may probably be remedied if the matter be taken in hand at once. With regard to the causes of the deficiency, I am going into this matter in detail in my reports to the various lodges. The principal cause, however, is one that rests probably with the district to remove, viz., utter inadequacy of contributions. In the lodge in which the largest deficiency is found, the Eose of the Valley, the contributions range from 13s. to 20s. 6d. per annum for a sick benefit of 155., 10s., and 7s. 6d. per week for the usual periods, £15 on death of a member, and £10 on death of a member's wife. And out of the whole number of 167 members, 114 pay the minimum contribution of 13s. In the Antipodean, where similar rates prevail, even larger benefits are payable. As a natural result, this lodge would have come out with even a greater deficiency than the former but for its having reaped the benefit of a large increase ill the value of its landed property during the quinquennium. Now, I find in the District Eules (page 13) an excellent graduated scale of contributions for benefits, varying from 2s. 7d. to ss. Id. per lunar month for new members, and it is further provided that all members admitted previous to these laws coming into operation shall " continue to pay 6d. per week and an additional annual contribution, &c." I venture to state that, if this rule had been carried out, you would not have found your district exhibiting a deficiency on valuation. It appears

H.—l.

from a letter from Mr. Edwin Bannister, Permanent Secretary of the Antipodean Lodge, as well as Secretary to the District, that some twenty years ago members thought their sick and funeral funds were increasing more rapidly than was necessary, and so obtained leave of the district to appropriate half of the contributions due to the Sick Fund (6d. per week) to assist the Management Expenses Fund; and this arrangement has been continued ever since. Now, this circumstance shows, among others, most forcibly the necessity of periodical valuations of a friendly society. Members of the lodges and officers of the district were doubtless equally unaware how fast the benefit fund of a young society ought to increase to insure future solvency. Of the two lodges which reduced their rates by onehalf in consequence of this permission, one is about £2,000 behind in its funds, and the other is only saved from occupying even a worse position by a slice of good fortune which could not have been foreseen at the time the rates were reduced. There is perhaps no better method of utilizing a surplus than by reducing the rates of contribution to those members during whose membership the surplus funds have accrued. But a society should first be sure that such a surplus really exists, and this can only be ascertained by means of an actuarial valuation, not by mere observation of an increasing fund. For example, the old members of the Antipodean Lodge may now legitimately claim the benefit of the increased value of their property in the shape of contributions lower than would otherwise be necessary, but I see no reason why they should admit fresh members at rates that vmst entail a loss, and thus deprive themselves of the benefit of this increased value. I find that in your district the funeral benefits are provided for by an equal levy made from time to time as funds are required, each lodge being called upon to pay in proportion to its numerical strength alone, or, in other words, each member contributing equally quite irrespective of his age, or the time he has been in the society, and the consequent value of the risk undertaken by the district on his account. Now, the system of spreading the funeral liability over the whole district, and thus equalizing the risk, is an excellent one. In fact, it would be well worth consideration whether the various districts of your order in the colony might not unite, and form one funeral fund. The wider the area over which such risks can be spread the better. The system of equal levies, too, you have inherited from the fathers of your order, and there is no doubt that the plan was intended to be wise and equitable, and on the commencement of the operations of the society it may have been so. It is, however, perfectly clear that the system becomes utterly inequitable and the inequalities inseparable from it increase as time goes on, while the better it is understood the more will the numerical progression of your society be hindered, unless some remedy be applied in time. If a new lodge be started in an old district where there is no accumulated Funeral Fund, the effect is that it is at once burdened with a liability in the shape of its share of the funeral liabilities of the older lodges. Supposing its contributions to be just adequate to secure "the benefits promised, it would on valuation show an immediate deficiency on this account. Or, to put the case in another way, the contributions of a hundred young and healthy men, instead of being reserved against the time when they will be required to meet claims arising among them, are used up to meet claims arising among a hundred old men, for which no provision has been made. The effects of this system have not had time to develop themselves fully as yet here, as your district, as a whole, cannot be called an " old " one. Nevertheless, the difference in the amounts paid and received as funeral levies and funeral benefits respectively is sufficiently marked as between the old and the new lodges respectively. The old lodges receive more for benefits than they pay in levies. The conclusion is therefore irresistible that the newer ones pay more than they receive. But, as if the necessary inequality of the equal-levy system were not bad enough, I find it increased in your district by a further inequality. Some of your lodges grant a funeral benefit of £15, and others one of £20. Yet both these classes of recipients pay the same levy. I am informed that in the former the members pay a lower rate of contribution. This may be so, but, as just as much per head is exacted from them by the district, it merely means that they have so much less left to meet their sickness claims. I am aware that, when exception is taken to any apparent inequality in a friendly society, the objector is frequently informed that these societies are governed by the " principle of fraternity." And an admirable principle is this same fraternity. It is a moral agent which many of us hope will yet regenerate the world. But it cannot associate itself with injustice without being defiled. It may be very "fraternal" for A, whose representatives are to receive £15, to pay as much for that as B pays, whose heirs will receive £20, but it is difficult to discover the " fraternity "in B's share in the transaction. I should strongly recommend the district to put an end to this injustice at once. The remedy for the inequalities of the equal levy may need much thought and care to work out, but this is a mere question of arithmetic. As long as the equal levy prevails it should be really equal, and those members assured for only £15 should pay only three-quarters of the amount paid by those assured for £20. Before concluding, I will just notice briefly one further objection which is sometimes made to the principle on which the valuations of friendly societies are conducted. It is complained of them that no allowance is made for the possibility of future secessions. Now, in this point I will quote the testimony of a Past Grand Master of your order, Mr. Reuben Watson, Actuary to the Manchester Unity. He says: "If they wanted to calculate on secessions, he would like to know who would secede, how old the secessionists would be, and what the value of their relinquished contributions. Let them know all these things—for they should be ascertained with unfailing accuracy—before they calculated on secessions. He would leave that subject with the remark that, if there was any advantage received from secession, the next valuation brought out every farthing which had been gained by the society from that secession." In another place, the same gentleman describes taking future secessions into account as " counting the chickens before they are hatched;" and there is no doubt that this describes the operation correctly. The rates of contribution of a society should be sufficient to enable it to meet all its liabilities. If some of its members quit the society and forego their claims, the profit thus accruing may fairly be apportioned among those remaining, but it,

H.—l

cannot be anticipated, for such anticipation would very likely be falsified. Every secession that has taken place in your district since the inauguration of the first lodge has necessarily been taken into account in the accompanying valuation, in that all the liabilities of the society in respect of members who have seceded have ceased, while the payments made by such members remain as a portion of the funds. Any secessions which may take place during the current five years will equally affect the next valuation, so that the rate of secession does materially influence the results as disclosed by valuation, only it is allowed to do its work first, and is only taken account of when its effects have been experienced. But, as a matter of fact, secessions are not nearly as profitable to a society as many members imagine them to be. If adequate rates are charged, most secessions would mean rather loss than gain to the society. For who are those who secede ? Generally the young and healthy members. The selection is against the society. Members who have once experienced its benefits, and feel that they are likely to do so again, will strain every nerve rather than lose a membership which promises to be so valuable an aid to them. That this is not conjecture, but is based upon experience, may be seen from the subjoined extract from the tables of the Foresters' experience, 1871-75 :— Bate of Withdrawal per Cent, per Annum among the Members who had been Sick and those who had not been Sick during the Five Years 1871-75. Ages. Members sick.

In conclusion, then, as a result of the valuation which I have made of the financial position of your district, I would simply recommend you to enforce your own rules. If the contributions prescribed in your District Eules are enforced for the future, I have little doubt that nearly, if not quite, all the lodges which now show a deficit will have got themselves into a sound condition by the time the next valuation is made. Of course I must be understood to include, in this recommendation, one that the contributions shall be proportional—that is, that those lodges which grant lower benefits shall pay lower rates of contribution, not only to their own Sick Fund, but also to the district funeral levy. An exception might be made in the case of the older members of the Britannia and Antipodean Lodges, on account of their ownership of a valuable property; but the latter should pay more than the utterly inadequate 13s. per annum at present contributed by so many of them. Besides the resumption of adequate contributions, some special effort will be requisite on the part of the members of the Eose of the Valley, St. George, and Heart of Oak Lodges, whose deficiencies amount to about £12, £13, and £14 per member respectively. Attached to this report you will find Tables A, B, C, and D, giving various particulars elicited in the course of the valuation in a succinct form. "Wishing you a large measure of success in your philanthropic work, I am, &c, Alfred G. Wiggins, Wellington, 20th November, 1883. Public Valuer.
