14. Averages and percentages deduced from the tabulated returns for the years 1881-99 are given in Appendix I. 15. Information as to the forms kept in the Registry Office for the convenience of societies, and sent free on application, is to be found in Appendix IV. 16. Valuations were made of the following societies : — M.U:l.O.O.F.—Hawke's Bay District; New Plymouth District; Hokitika District; Otago District; Invercargill District. I.O.O.F.—Grand Lodge of New Zealand. A.O.F.—South Canterbury District. U.A.O.D.—Excelsior Lodge. I.O.R.—New Zealand Central District. 17. Summarised results of the valuations are given in two tables (Appendix V.). 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 ; i. 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 ; .10. Rate of interest, per annum, credited to benefit funds (average for quinquennium); 11. Surplus or deficiency at previous valuation (average per member). Table B shows— Ratio to liabilities of— (a) Present value of contributions to benefit funds; (b) value of accumulated benefit funds; (c) total assets ; (d) surplus or deficiency. 18. Societies, on application to the Registrar, may have their valuations made free of cost. The experience of the societies valued in the office during the year represents 36,113-5 years of life at risk. This experience has been grouped with that published in tabular form in last year's report, and the combined results are exhibited hereunder. An analysis of the following table shows that the mortality of members of friendly societies is very light as compared with the general experience of the colony. While this is a subject for congratulation to the individual members, it cannot be so regarded from a financial point of view; for the average sickness per member at risk increases with age, and the additional average expenditure on account of sick-pay is likely to exceed the gain arising from the deferred death-claim and the increased value of the contribution.
