Changes of Trustees. There were a large number of changes of trustees registered during the year. The warning conveyed in my report of last year has been responded to favourably; and notices prescribed by the Act and regulations have been forwarded for registration more promptly. There is, however, still room for improvement. Eeturns and Statistics for 1904. By the Friendly Societies Act, all societies and branches registered under it are required to forward to the Eegistrar before the Ist April in each year a general statement of the receipts and expenditure, funds, and effects of the society or branch, made out to the 31st December then last, termed the Annual Eeturn ; and, as respects friendly societies proper, they are required to supply at the same time a list of the members admitted, and the names and particulars of the periods of sickness, deaths, and other contingencies experienced by the members during the year. During the month of December, 1904, a supply of forms to contain the above information, with a memo, of instructions, was sent to each of the societies with branches (with the exception of the 1.0. G.T.) for the use of the same, and also to all the societies separately registered. These returns and lists, having been filled up and sent to this office, were examined and compared with the totals at the end of 1903, and entries found to be defective, incorrect, contradictory, or not in accordance with law were queried, for the purpose of having the necessary corrections made and an explanation given of the cause thereof. The number of returns issued and received, and the months in which they reached the Eegistry Office, are shown in the following table :• —■

It will be seen by the foregoing that, while over 80 per cent, of the required returns were furnished during the first four months of the year, only 159 reached this office before the Ist April. Seeing that the figures embodied in the returns relate to the year terminated in December, it does not seem too much to expect that the whole of the returns should be sent in some time during the first quarter of the year. A large amount of delay also arises in the compilation of the statistical tables, on account of the difficulty experienced in obtaining satisfactory corrections in the returns from a number of the branches of societies. It may also be pointed out that so long as one branch of a society withholds the particulars of its proceedings it is impossible to finally deal with the figures of such society, and that the dilatoriness of a few secretaries causes much loss of time in a variety of ways. The number of lodges* of the affiliated type whose returns are tabulated is 479 (being two less than the number received), and of central bodies 36, distributed according to Orders, thus:—

The number of secretaries in arrear with their returns in the several Orders is as follows : 1.0.0. F., 6; A.0.F., 4; U.A.0.D., 2 ; 1.0. E., 1 ; H.A.C.8.5., 9 : total, 22 (or nine less than for the previous year). In Table I details are given of the name, place, and year of establishment of each lodge, with the membership and funds of the same at the end of 1904. The funds under the control of the central bodies are also included in the district totals. In the final column is entered the average surplus or deficiency per member in each lodge, as shown at the last valuation. Tables II to VI contain a summary of the details relating to the membership, ages, mortality and sickness, receipts and expenditure, funds and investments, of each separately registered society, with totals for the several Orders. In Tables 111 to VI shillings and pence have been omitted, there being no apparent advantage in publishing the values more accurately than as shown by the nearest pound. Membbbship and Total Funds. The number of members in these 479 lodges at the beginning of 1904 was 45,253; the members admitted by initiation and reinstatement were 5,264 ; those admitted by clearance were 360 : total admitted, 5,624. The number who left by arrears, resignation, and expulsion was 2,965 ; by clearance, 263 ; and by death, 347 : total left, 3,575. The net increase for the year was 2,049, or slightly over 4J per cent., and the number of members at the end of 1904 was therefore 47,302. The deaths of members' wives during the year were 155. The total funds of the societies and branches as on the 31st December, 1904, amounted to £936,388, made up as follows : Sick and Funeral Funds (inclusive of amounts transferred to special funds out of surplus), £858,624; Medical and Management Funds, goods, &c, £77,764. Dividing the total funds by the number of members at the end of the year, it is found the average capital per member is now £19 15s. lid. Taking the several years 1900-1904, the number of members, total funds, and average capital per member at the end of each were as under : —

At the same date these funds were disposed of as follows :—

Sickness. The number of members sick during the year was 8,994, equal to 20-55 per 100 members at risk; the sickness experienced was 67,028 weeks 2 days, equal to 7 weeks 3 days per sick member, and 1 week 3 days 17 hours for each member at risk. The ratio to the total of the sickness in the first six months was 58 per cent., in the second six months 8 per cent., and after twelve months 34 per cent. These averages and percentages are compared with those for previous years in Appendix I. Owing in great measure to differences in the proportion of members at the several ages, the averages in the several districts differ considerably, also in the several societies or Orders. The figures for the five larger Orders are found to be as follows :—

From the above it will be seen that the percentage of members sick for the year 1904 was highest in the 1.0.8., while the average sickness per member at risk was highest in the M.D.1.0.0.F. and lowest in the U.A.O.D. In 1903 the percentage of members sick was 2003, the average sickness per member sick was 763 weeks, and the average sickness per member at risk 1 week 4 days. Deaths. The number of members who died during 1904 was 347, equal to 7-93 per 1,000 members at risk, as against 8-49 in 1903 and 7-88 in 1902. The number of wives who died was 155, equal to 354 per 1,000 members, as against 379 for 1903 and 3-61 for 1902. Sick and Funbeal Funds. The contributions and entrance fees paid to Sick and Funeral Funds were £67,791; and, dividing by the mean number of members, the average is found to be £1 9s. 4d., as against £1 9s. Id. for 1903. The interest and rent received by the lodges and central bodies amounted to £35,897, equal to 15s. 6d. per member, as against 15s. 4d. per member for 1903. The amount of sickness benefit paid was £48,537, equal to £5 7s. lid. per member sick, and an average of £1 Is. per member, as against £5 9s. sd. and £1 Is. 4d. respectively for 1903. Viewing the amount paid in relation to the weeks of sickness the average benefit per week is found to be 14s. 6d.; in 1903 the average was 2d. less. The funeral benefit paid amounted to £10,098 ; this is equal to 4s. 4d. per member, and is 9d. less than the average for 1903. The total worth of the Sick and Funeral Funds at the beginning of 1904 being £791,090, and at the end of the year £835,027, the balance of gain on the transactions of the year was £43,937, or 19s. per member as against 19s. 7d. in 1903.

The averages for the five leading Orders, and for all societies, are given in the following table:—

Bate op Inteebst eealised. The total income from investments, less depreciations, credited to the Sick and Funeral Funds for 1904 amounted to £35,897, which is found to yield an average rate of £452 per cent. (say, £4 10s. 5d.), as against £4 10s. 2d. in 1903. But, while the average rate for societies in the aggregate may be regarded as satisfactory, affording as it does a fair margin for safety over the rate hitherto employed in valuations —-namely, 4 per cent. —it has to be remembered that as each lodge is for most purposes under the control of its own committee of management in matters affecting investments, its position will depend in great measure on the care' and attention bestowed on this subject by the responsible officers. Hence the position of a district or Order depends almost entirely upon the good or bad management which has characterized the several branches in respect of the investment of the funds. While the rate of interest realised by each lodge cannot be set forth here, some idea of the position in the several societies or Orders will be obtained by an examination of the figures in the last column of the following table : —

Table showing the Total Worth of the Sick and Funeral Fund as on the 1st January, 1904, and the 31st December, 1904, inclusive of the Accumulations held by the Central Bodies; also the Amount and Average Rate of Interest earned.

It may also be added that in the M.U.1.0.0.F., with its seventeen districts, the average rate per cent, realised varies from £3-04 in the case of the New Plymouth District to £551 in the Marlborough District. In the A.0.F., with eight districts, the rate varies from £3 - 24 in the South Canterbury District to £5-45 in the Nelson District. A consideration of the foregoing rates makes it evident that, while the responsible officers in a large majority of the lodges have laboured with zeal and intelligence to invest the funds profitably, there is a minority of managers who, through ignorance, carelessness, or indifference, have never realised the fact that the regular and judicious investment of the funds at the highest rate of interest obtainable consistent with perfect security is a primary condition of success in every friendly society. It matters not how carefully the rates of contribution and benefits may have been adjusted if this important item has been neglected. And, while strongly opposed to other than adequate rates of contribution being charged in any lodge, examples are not wanting where defects in this particular have been successfully overcome by superior management in the investment of the funds. One way in which the rate realised may be improved is by a strict compliance in all cases with the terms of the statute in regard to the separation of the several funds, and the payment of all expenses of management out of the Management Fund. In a number of lodges it is found that the expenses of trustees in connection with the management of the investments, as well as the cost of collecting interest by agents or secretaries, have been paid out of the Sick and Funeral Fund, whereas it has been held by high legal authorities that the contributions to this fund and the whole of the interest arising from the investment of the capital thereof should be applied exclusively to the payment of sickness and funeral benefits, except in the case of lodges which have obtained the

consent of a valuer to an appropriation of surplus capital or interest; and hence that any deduction from the interest received is wholly illegal. In lodges which have invested part of the Sick and Funeral Fund capital in halls, it is found in a number of eases that little or no rent has been paid by the Management Fund for the lodge-room, but unless a fair rent is paid in all cases the Sick and Funeral Fund is being defrauded. Another matter connected with these investments in halls and buildings which it is desirable the responsible officers should take into consideration, is to see that proper steps are taken to reimburse the lodge for the original outlay in building and furnishing, against the time when these halls or buildings will have to be renewed. If this is not done, either by periodic depreciations or the establishment of a sinking fund out of the annual income, lodges will one day have nothing to show for the funds so invested. In a number of cases the Sick and Funeral Fund suffers from unauthorised transfers of the funds for management purposes. The offending societies and the amounts improperly spent at the end of 1904 are as follows: M.U.1.0.0.F., £509; 1.0.0. F., £325 ; A.0.F., £146; U.A.0.D., £151; 1.0. R., £57; S.D.T._ £4; H.A.C.8.5., £42: making a total of £1,234. Not only is no interest earned on tnese amounts, but care has to be exercised that the principal is correctly brought forward in the annual returns. It is to be hoped the amounts irregularly transferred will be restored as quickly as possible, and so prevent the necessity of any further pressure to secure compliance with the provisions of the statute. Medical and Management Expenses Funds. The contributions, entrance fees, and levies to the Medical and Management Expenses Funds amounted to £63,866; interest, £1,517; and other receipts, £8,266: making a total income of £73,649. The total outgo for the year was £70,704, including £43,539 for medical attendance and medicine, £22,894 for management expenses and levies to central bodies, and £4,271 for other expenses. The total worth of the funds at the end of the year, including goods, &c, was £40,830. The averages of the chief items of income and outgo in each of the five leading Orders and in all the societies combined, also the percentage of total contributions (to both the Sick and Funeral and the Medical and Management Funds) spent for management, are given in the following table:—

The total amount paid by the societies for the year in providing the several benefits of sickpay, funeral benefits, and medical attendance and medicine amounted to £102,174. x\ssuming that for each member three other persons besides participate in these benefits, over 185,000 persons may be regarded as sharers in the beneficent work performed by these fraternal organizations. Averages and percentages dedticed from the tabulated returns for 1894-1904 are given in Appendix I. 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. Application foe Inspection. An application for the appointment of Inspectors, in terms of section 28 of the Friendly Societies Act, for the purpose of inquiring into the affairs of the District Grand Lodge of the North Island of New Zealand United Ancient Order of Druids, was acceded to, and Messrs. W. H. Quick and H. Birch were appointed to conduct the same, but had not reported up to the end of 1905.* Valuations. The Friendly Societies Act is based on the assumption that men who combine for mutual aid may be trusted voluntarily to take such action as may be found necessary to secure the solvency and permanence of their institutions. By means of periodical investigation the State has provided that, if any loss is suffered through errors in finance, members shall not be able to plead ignorance of their society's unsound position. The values of the prospective assets and liabilities have been calculated on the general mortality experience of the colony, on the sickness experience of New Zealand friendly societies up to age 70, and on English sickness-rates (Sutton's Friendly Societies, J 876-80) above that age, the rate of interest assumed varies from 2-J- to 4 per cent., according to the rates actually realised in the several lodges.

* The report of the Inspectors was received on the 20th January, 1906.
