9. In Tables 1., V., and VI., attached to this report, the respective district totals include the funds of the central bodies. 10. In the final column of Table I. is entered the average surplus or deficiency per member, as shown at the last valuation of the society. 11. In the monetary tables, except the first, shillings and pence have been omitted, there being no apparent advantage in publishing the values more accurately than as shown by the nearest pound. 12.

15. Averages and percentages deduced frotn the tabulated returns for the years 1880-92 are given in Appendix I. 16. In 1890 and 1891 there was a marked rise, as compared with the experience of former years, in the percentage of members sick as well as in the average duration of sickness per member. This was attributed to the influenza epidemic. In 1892 the percentage of members sick and the average duration show an additional increase. As in this year the epidemic had abated, it is difficult to account for the high rate, unless a large amount of acute sickness be due to organic weakness left by the influenza as a painful reminder of its ravages. 17. The following epitome of the course of Parliamentary legislation in England affecting friendly societies is extracted from the Eeport of the Chief Begistrar for 1892 : — The 21st June, 1893, will be the hundredth anniversary of the passing of the first Friendly Societies Act, commonly called Sir George Rose's Act, the 33 Geo. 111., c. 54. One would like to see it marked by some observance on the part of the societies, for there are few statutes which have had a more beneficial effect. Though this Act was five times amended (1795, 1803, 1809, 1817, 1819), and the law has since been five times consolidated (1829, 1850, 1855, 1875, 1887), with numerous amending Acts intervening, its essential principle and many of its details have remained unaltered to this day. That essential principle is the liberty of people to combine for provident purposes with or without registry, the granting of registry upon easy conditions, and the attracting towards registry by the offer of privileges rather than the enforcing it by the threat of disabilities. The numerous amending Acts show that the mind of the Legislature has swung backwards and forwards like a pendulum—now in the direction of freedom, now in that of restraint; but it has always settled down where it now rests, and where the Act of 1793 first placed it. One recurs with delight to the quaint language of that Act, defining friendly societies as " societies of good fellowship, for the purpose of raising from time to time, by subscription of the several members of every such society, or by voluntary contributions, a stock or fund for the mutual relief and maintenance of all and every the members thereof in old age, sioknese, and infirmity, or for the relief of the widows and children of deceased members," asserting that " the protection and encouragement of friendly societies in this kingdom is likely to be attended with very beneficial effects, by promoting the happiness of individuals, and at the same time diminishing the public burthens," and empowering the members of each such society " to make, ordain, and constitute . . . proper and wholesome rules, orders, and regulations for the better government and guidance of the same." Among the privileges which the Act of 1793 afforded to enrolled friendly societies, continued by the present law to registered friendly societies, are the following:— 1. A cheap and speedy means of recovery against defaulting officers. County Courts not being in existence in 1793 (except in the rare survivals of the ancient historical form), recourse had to be made to the High Court of Chancery or the Court of Exchequer (now both abolished) ; but those Courts were directed to proceed "in a summary way "; no officer or minister of the Court was to receive any fee, reward, emolument, or gratuity whatsoever, for anything done by him; the Lord High Chancellor, the Master of the Rolls, and Barons of the Exchequer, respectively, were to assign counsel learned in the law, and appoint a clerk of the Court to advise and carry on the proceedings on behalf of the society, who were required to do their duties therein without fee or reward; and no proceedings were to be chargeable with any stamp duty. 2. Priority on the death or bankruptcy or insolvency of an officer over all other debts. This privilege has been frequently threatened in Bankruptcy Acts and otherwise, but has survived. 3. Vesting of property in treasurer or trustees by virtue of their appointment, without assignment or transfers; and provision against abatement of actions on death or removal of treasurer or trustees. 4. Protection of the funds against misapplication or illegal distribution. 5. Rules made receivable in evidence, and no certiorari allowed. 6. Provision for the settlement of disputes by arbitration, and for the ordering of grievances by Justices where the rules do not provide for arbitration. 18. The admission of women as members of friendly societies is being gradually extended. In some societies the membership is mixed; in others, branches are established for women members only. No statistics relating to the sickness of women are available for the purpose of determining the ratio of contributions to benefits. It is said that the executive of the M.U.1.0.0.F. in England are about to issue tables of contributions for women's benefits. These will probably furnish a valuable guide as to the relative risks of men and women members. 19. Information as to the forms kept in the Begistry Office for the convenience of societies, and sent free on application, is to be found in Appendix IV. Valuations. 20. Valuations were made as on the 31st December, 1892, of the following societies: — Societies with Branches. M.U.1.0.0.P. —New Plymouth District, 6 branches ; Ashley District, 9 branches. 1.0.0.F. —Grand Lodge of New Zealand, 29 branches. A.O.F.—Canterbury United District, 10 branches ; United Otago District, 18 branches. I.O.E.—New Zealand District, 6 branches; New Zealand Central District, 27 branches. S.D.T.—Grand Division of New Zealand, 13 branches. Societies without Branches. A.O.P.—Court Coromandel. ■ U.A.O.D.—Star of the West Lodge, Eoyal Oak Lodge, Linden Lodge, Eose of Palmerston Lodge." I.O.E.—Star of Hope Tent. E.E.B.S.—Otago Society. 21. Summaries of the results of the valuations are given in two tables (Appendix VI.) Table A shows — 1. Number of members at the date of valuation ; 2. Present value of benefits ; 3. Present value of contributions to benefit funds ; 4. Value of accumulated benefit funds ; 5. Surplus or deficiency ; 6. Average surplus or deficiency per member; 7. Average age of members ; 8. Average annual contribution, per member, to benefit funds; 9. Average value, per member, of accumulated benefit funds ; * All the valuations, except of this lodge, were made in the office of the Registrar,

10. Bate of interest, per annum, credited to benefit funds (average for quinquennium); 11. Surplus or deficiency at previous valuation (average per member). Table B shows— 1. \Eatio to liabilities of— (a) Present value of contributions to benefit funds ; (b) value of accumulated benefit funds ; (c) total assets ; (d) surplus or deficiency. 2. Causes of surplus or deficiency. For convenience of publication, the causes assigned for the surplus or deficiency disclosed by valuation are indicated in Table B by means of letters referring to a list prefixed to the table. 22. Societies, on application to the Eegistrar, may have their valuation made free of cost. The experience of the societies which have been valued in the office has been tabulated, and compared with other experience, and statistical and comparative tables relating to their sickness and mortality are here given.

23. The valuations of the 1.0. E. and S.D.T. societies, whose members are pledged to abstinence from intoxicants, were based on the 1.0. E. experience, 1378-87 ; all others being based on the M.U. experience, 1866-70. The following tables show the actual and expected sickness in each group. The total sickness of the first group is about 20 per cent, less than the expectation, while that of the second group is about 2 per cent, above the expectation : —

24. A comparison of the actual and the expected sickness of all societies valued shows a total sickness less than the expectation by 3 per cent. But, when the sickness is analysed, the experience of those lodges which have been established more than twenty years is found to be higher than the expectation by 9 per cent., and that of those established more than thirty years by 27 per cent. The sickness of members under forty years of age is light, but the sickness of members above that age is about 20 per cent, greater than the expectation. 25. The following table shows very little variation in the total sickness of members of societies valued, as compared with English experience, although at the higher ages there is considerable difference in the distribution :—

Average Sickness per Member (Men only), in Quinquennial Age-periods, in Societies valued in the Office compared with the M.U. 1866-70 Experience.

26. The average sickness per death among New Zealand societies, as compared with the experience of the M.U. in England, is shown by the following table to be very high, the least difference for any quinquennial period being 14 per cent., and the greatest difference 157 per cent.

Ratio of Sickness to Mortality in Quinquennial Age-periods.

27. These figures may be interpreted to mean that one effect of a light mortality is to raise the sickness liability. The gain resulting from the postponement of the payment at death, as well as from the continuance of the annual contribution for a longer average period, is small in comparison with the possible and, it may be said, probable increase of expenditure on account of sickness. 28. The following table exhibits an exceedingly light mortality:—

29. In the following table are shown in quinquennial age-periods the numbers of lapses among those who were sick and who were not sick, respectively, during the quinquennium preceding the date of valuation. Of 6,681 members admitted before the quinquennium 212 died. Of the remaining 6,469 the number sick was 2,767, and the number not sick 3,702. Of the 2,767 who were sick 220 lapsed, i.e., less than 8 per cent. ; and of the 3,702 who were not sick 1,364 lapsed, i.e., more than 36 per cent, Of 5,246 members admitted during the quinquennium 26 died. Of the remaining 5,220 the members sick and not sick were respectively 864 and 4,356. Of the 864 who were sick 82 lapsed, i.e., less than 10 per cent.; and of the 4,356 who were not sick 1,534 lapsed, i.e., more than 35 "per cent. These figures illustrate the adverse effect of lapses upon the average health of the members remaining in the society, and support the argument that no allowance can safely be made for possible secessions which, although affording an immediate gain, may yet result in an eventual loss by reason of a higher average sickness.

30. The following table contains the sickness experience of women members of the 1.0. E. and S.D.T. societies. The total is greatly in excess of the expectation. As might be expected, in consequence of the small numbers, there is great irregularity in the average sickness per member per annum at the respective age-periods. Indeed, the numbers are too few to render the statistics valuable.

31. For the valuation of widow and orphan societies, present values of contributions and of widows' and orphans' benefits have been calculated from New Zealand statistics of mortality and orphanhood. The numbers living and dying at each age are taken from an unpublished table of mortality (male lives) compiled by Mr. George Leslie, Assistant Actuary, Government Life Insurance Department, and based on the numbers living at the census dates in 1881, 1886, and 1891, and on the deaths daring the years 1880-92. The numbers and ages of orphans at death of father up to age 64 were tabulated in the office of the Eegistrar-General from returns for the years 1890-92. The Eegistrar acknowledges the courtesy of the gentlemen who have placed this valuable information at his disposal, and his indebtedness also to Mr. George King, P.1.A., whose paper on " Family Annuities," read before the Institute of Actuaries in 1893, treats of this form of insurance. 32. As it has been suggested that scales of contributions and benefits might be calculated on the basis of New Zealand experience and published for the guidance of societies, it may be well to explain, in connection with the above-mentioned computation of present values of widows' and

orphans' benefits from New Zealand statistics, that similar calculations cannot yet be made in respect of sickness benefits by reason of the absence of data relating to the higher ages. It is observed that, while the average sickness in early life is light as compared with the English experience, as the age advances the average rises more rapidly than the expectation. The difficulty of the problem is further complicated by the fact that the mortality of members of friendly societies, in common with that of the general population of the colony, is very light. For a length of time an impression prevailed that a favourable sickness might be looked for in conjunction with a favourable mortality. Results have, however, disproved this. With greater average longevity there is an increase in the total sickness, while, as partly accounting for the high ratio of the total sickness per death, as contrasted with English experience, it cannot be doubted that, in New Zealand, sufferers from chronic ailments linger for years who in a less genial climate would die off rapidly. It may be added that insolvent societies which have been long established need something more than standard tables to refer to. Such tables would doubtless afford excellent guidance for societies about to be established, but would be of little value to a society already existing and found to have a large deficiency, for such a society needs advice specially adapted to its particular circumstances. 33. Appendix V. contains lists of the societies and branches valued as at the end of 1892, and established prior to 1888, arranged according to the average rate of interest per annum credited to the benefit fund during the quinquennium 1888-92, exclusive of those which earned less than 4 per cent. The number of societies and branches included in these lists is fifty-nine, and the number excluded is forty. In respect of one society and four branches the rate of interest cannot be calculated owing to the information being incomplete. The investment of capital in hall property accounts for the low rate earned by nineteen, and the only cause which can be assigned in the case of the remaining sixteen is that there has been negligence on the part of the trustees. 34. During last session of Parliament a return was compiled by order of the House of Eepresentatives " in continuation of a return dated 31st August, 1889, relating to friendly societies ; also, a comparative statement setting forth the increase or decrease in the several particulars mentioned in said return between the two last valuation reports of the several Districts and Orders, so as to indicate whether the several Districts and Orders are improving their financial position or otherwise." 35. That summation of the assets and liabilities, and amalgamation of the balances, whether surplus or deficiency, of branches whose funds are not held in common, does not afford a correct indication of the financial position of branches so grouped together, is very clearly explained by the English Chief Registrar in his examination before the Royal Commission on Labour. Speaking of the affiliated societies he says, — Every branch is as financially independent as if it were a distinct society. One branch may have charged proper contributions, carefully supervised its claims, been economical in its management, husbanded and properly invested its funds, and thus accumulated a large fund; no other branch has any claim whatever on that fund, or any portion of it. Another branch may have charged insufficient rates, been loosely managed, wasted its money, and thus have incurred losses, or may have been merely unfortunate, and suffered from a severe run of sickness, and thus have small funds; but it cannot call upon the prosperous branch to contribute to meet the deficiency. 36. It may be noted that, in respect of the several branches of each society valued from time to time, a comparison is made between the results of two successive valuations, and published in an appendix to the Registrar's annual report to Parliament in the following year. Trade-unions. Registration of New Rules. 37. A complete amendment of rules was registered in respect of the undermentioned societies : The Amalgamated Shearers' and Labourers' Union of New Zealand, the Christchurch Operative Bootmakers' Society, and the Wellington Operative Bootmakers' Society. 38. A list of registered trade-unions, as on 31st December, 1893, is given in Appendix 111. Edmund Mason, May, 1894. Registrar of Friendly Societies and Trade-unions.
