warded after the 31st December, the Department would be in a position to effect the reform. The result has been most satisfactory, and the tables for 1906 will be found with those for 1905 in the appendices. At the end of April the number of returns received for 1906 was 529, and at the end of May 560, out of a possible total of 634. The tables were closed with 574 returns furnished for five months, against 586 included in the 1905 tables furnished in fifteen months. The promptitude of district secretaries in forwarding the branch returns to the Department during January, February, and March assured the success of the undertaking, and with the improving accounting methods of the leading societies the difficulties should be lessened in future. The following societies forwarded all returns in time for inclusion in the report:— M.U.1.0.0.F.— Otago District. A.O.S.— Auckland District. Southland District. Sanctuary Sir George Grey. Hawke's Bay Distriot. N.1.0.0F.— U.A.O D.— New Plymouth District. Auckland Provincial Distriot. Grand Lodge of Canterbury. Wanganui DUtriot. 8.U.0.0.F. — Lodges separately registered.

The first return to hand was received on 2nd January from Court Robin Hood, A.0.F., Nelson District. On the 31st May, two months after due date, the following societies' returns were outstanding:—

Membership and Funds. The following table shows the increased membership in 501 lodges which furnished returns for 1905, and the increase in 500 lodges during 1906: —

The increase during 1905 was almost 6 per cent., and during 1906 it was 6'ol, as compared with 4J per cent, for 1904. The total funds of the societies and branches as on the 31st December, 1906, amounted to £1,057,821 7s. 2d., made up as follows: Sick and Funeral Funds (inclusive of amounts transferred to special funds out of surplus), £975,137 os. 2d.; Medical and Management Funds, goods, &c, £82,884 7s. 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 13s. 6d. ,

* The word " lodge," when applied to all societies, is to be understood as embracing the synonymous terms court," " tent," &0., as used in the various orders.

Taking the several years 1900-1906, the number of lodges whose returns were tabulated, the number of members, total funds, and average capital per member at the end of each were as under: —

The following table shows the number of members of friendly societies, the amount of their accumulated capital, and the average capital per member, in each of the Australian States and in the Colony of New Zealand, according to the latest received statistics, arranged in order of membership:— __

The following statement shows the total funds (including those of the central bodies) as on the 31et December, 1905 and 1906 respectively: —

Progress of Friendly Societies' Business. Tables have been prepared illustrating the increase in membership and contributions compared with life-insurance business and the population. The dissimilarity of the items does not facilitate a ready comparison, and the numbers have therefore been reduced to the common basis of 100 at 1887. This shows that for every 100 persons in the population at 1887 there were 118-36 at 1896 and 146-26 at 1905; whilst for every 100 friendly societies' members at 1887 there were 127-67 at 1896 and 205 at 1905. Friendly' societies' membership had therefore increased at a considerably greater ratio as compared with its 1887 figures than the population has done, and the same result is disclosed in the case of friendly societies' contributions. It is interesting to note that the amount insured in life companies, the friendly societies' membership, and the friendly societies' contributions have all increased at almost exactly the same ratio. The greater rate of increase in life-insurance premiums as compared with friendly societies' contributions is probably due to the employment of paid canvassers.

Table A —continued.

In order to illustrate the facts in another way Table B has been prepared. In this table the various figures are shown per head (or in the case of friendly societies' membership per 100) of the population. From this it will be seen that although there is now a much larger population than in 1887, still each member of the population now carries—(l) a greater insurance, (2) pays more in premiums, (3) more in friendly societies' contributions, and (4) every 100 of the present larger population contributes more friendly societies' members than was the case in 1887; the results as a whole disclosing a remarkable increase in thrift during the period under review, of which friendly societies' business has had its due share.

The rates of interest earned according to the above table show that the importance of investing funds profitably is receiving attention, as the average of 467 per cent, compares favourably with the previous year, 1904, when the rate was 4 - 52. I am of opinion that the rate earned would be still more satisfactory if central investment funds were generally established for the convenience of branches whose position and circumstances prevent them from obtaining suitable investments for small sums. The practice of borrowing benefit funds for management expenses shows a tendency to increase, and must be checked, as the use of funds for this purpose is depriving the benefit funds of the earning-power necessary to maintain the profit-rate which will insure the solvency of the societies' finances, as based on contributions. The following amounts were borrowed by the various societies from benefit funds for management purposes: —

The funds of societies can only be invested in those forms of securities specified by the Act and the rules, and it is the duty of the Registrar to closely scrutinise any investment outside those forms. Attention has before been drawii to the illegality of investing the funds on personal security, and in a recent instance of an investment by loan to a trustee on the security of his endowment policy, the Registrar declined to accept the balance-sheet containing the entry of such an item, with the result that the amount advanced had to be called in and invested in a legal manner. The borrowing of funds by trustees, no matter on what security, cannot be too strongly condemned, and societies should in every way discourage the practice. Valuations. The valuations completed during the year 1906 are set out in Appendix V. Mr. A. T. Traversi, Associate of the Institute of Actuaries, Great Britain and Ireland, of the Government Insurance Department, was appointed Actuary and Valuer attached to the Friendly Societies Department on the Ist November. On taking up his duties, the Actuary made a preliminary examination into the bases which have hitherto been used for valuation purposes. Some years ago it was the practice to assume that the rates of mortality and sickness in New Zealand friendly societies would coincide with English friendly societies' rates j but as time went on it was found that this assumption did not accord with facts, and, indeed, was quite unsafe, thus causing in recent years the employment of New Zealand statistics—viz., sickness-rates deduced from the New Zealand friendly societies' experience, and mortality-rates deduced from the census returns embracing the population of New Zealand. The examination now made has shown that, whilst these sickness-rates agree well on the whole with the facts, the mortality of New Zealand friendly society members is somewhat lower than that of the general population, a result that might have been expected, seeing that—to mention only one reason —friendly society members are in a sense selected lives who have to pass a medical test before admittance. It is well known that in an ordinary friendly society, a light rate of mortality increases the liabilities by swelling the number who survive to participate in the sickness benefits, and the Actuary, Mr. Traversi, has deemed it desirable that he should be in a position to use the lighter mortality of the friendly societies in the valuations. The necessary tables have therefore been constructed, although in carrying out the work the Actuary has been unable for want, of time to personally verify some of the detailed data. For the present, owing to paucity of data, the rates above age seventy have been taken from the Healthy English Table, which, of course, shows a very light mortality. The new mortality table has been amalgamated with the New Zealand friendly societies' sickness rates, so that the Actuary is now able to value the societies by their own data exclusively as far as age seventy. The new tables have so far been subjected to several tests, which have all proved highly satisfactory. It has been considered that a comparison with the mortality of the population of New Zealand on the one hand and New Zealand assured lives on the other hand would prove very interesting, and Mr. J. H. Richardson, the Government Insurance Commissioner, has very kindly agreed to the use for this purpose of the figures relating to an unpublished investigation into the mortality of lives insured in the Government Insurance Department. The accompanying diagram (No. 1) illustrates the comparison. As would be expected, the friendly society lives show a lower rate of mortality than the population of New Zealand, but a higher rate than that of New Zealand assured lives. The crossing of'the curves at ages thirty-six to forty-six is to some extent due to peculiarities of graduation. In order to illustrate the effect which a lighter mortality rate has in increasing the present value of ordinary sickness and funeral benefit liabilities in making a valuation, a diagram (No. 2)

is appended. This shows the present value at given ages of a benefit for the remainder of life according to the following scale: £1 per week for the first six months', 10s. per week for the second six months' sickness; ss. per week after twelve months; £20 on death; £10 on death of wife. The red line shows the value at the various ages if population mortality-rates are used, and the black line the higher value if the lower rates of friendly societies are assumed. The same sickness-rates are used in both cases. As an example, in valuing a society granting the above benefits, the present value of the future benefit liabilities for each member now aged thirty would be £37"90 if it were assumed the lighter friendly societies' mortality would prevail in future; but only £3640 if the heavier population mortality were assumed. Similarly, at age forty the values would be £4760 and £45 - 60 respectively. It will be seen that the value in both cases steadily increases with age, but that the lighter mortality table always brings out the higher values. The same sickness-rates have been assumed in both cases. From the above it can be gathered that the gain to the Funeral Fund from the lighter mortality is more than wiped out by the heavier liability in the Sick Fund. Other circumstances entering into the valuation tend to modify somewhat the difference between the results of the two tables. Although, as shown, the present value of the benefits is greater owing to the lower mortality of the new table, yet the annual rates of contribution are not higher, but are, in fact, equal to those given by the population table. This results from the compensating fact that a greater number will survive to pay premiums according to the lighter mortality table. Whilst the rates of contribution are not higher, the new tables tend to divide the rates differently between the Sick Fund and the Funeral Fund. The general effect on friendly societies' finance of the substitution of friendly societies' mortality rates for New Zealand population rates may be briefly summed up by saying that the annual contributions for the total benefits set out above remain unaltered, but a larger amount requires to be retained in hand by the societies to provide for the greater number of. members who will survive to draw sickness-allowance. This will affect the Sick Fund, the Funeral Fund coming off a little easier under the new tables than hitherto. Audit. This important branch of friendly society business came into public notice during the year in consequence of two serious cases of embezzlement of societies' funds. The secretary of the Grand Lodge of the United Ancient Order of Druids, Canterbury District, was sentenced to a term of imprisonment on a charge of embezzling the society's funds to the amount of £495. The fraud appears to have been effected by failing to account for repayments of mortgage moneys, a method of embezzling which the present system of audit in many societies is apparently quite inadequate to detect. A case on a larger scale and extending over many years was shortly afterwards brought to light in Wellington by the prosecution of the secretary of the Court Sir George Grey, Ancient Order of Foresters, for embezzling sums amounting to about £2,600 out of the court's benefit funds. The Crown Prosecutor, in his opening address, is reported as follows:- — " He did not know why friendly societies, through whose accounts large sums of money were passed, should not be made subject to compulsory public audit; but the fact was not so This society had auditors elected out of its own members, and the result was that any member who might have no knowledge of accounts- —no business knowledge, in fact—might be elected an auditor. That was a fact the jury should bear in mind while considering this case." The jury, in bringing in a verdict of " Guilty," made the following recommendation for mercy: — " On account of the facilities placed in the way of accused through the neglect of the court auditors of their obvious duties." In summing up, His Honour the Chief Justice remarked, — " No doubt they based the recommendation on the fact that the auditors had not performed their duties properly, but, on the contrary, had performed them perfunctorily, or otherwise they would have discovered your shortcomings some fourteen or fifteen years ago. Ido not know that that is a very good ground on which to base such a recommendation." It is to be hoped that these cases will have the effect of bringing home to those responsible for the safeguarding of benefit funds the desirability of providing for a thoroughly efficient audit, the need for which is also referred to in the Inspector's report hereunder. Inspection. The report of the Inspectors appointed in 1905, in terms of "The Friendly Societies Act, 1882," to inquire into the affairs of the District Grand Lodge of the North Island of New Zealand United Ancient Order of Druids was received on the 20th January, 1906, and is appended hereto. To the Registrar of Friendly Societies. Sir,— In pursuance of our appointment, dated the Ist day of November, 1905, under section 28 of " The Friendly Societies Act, 1882," in the matter of an application dated the 6th day of March, 1905, signed by 101 members of Lodge Pacific and a member of Lodge Coronation, U.A.0.D., we, the Inspectors appointed, have the honour to report that full inquiry has been made by us into the affairs of that society incidental to the charges submitted to us and preferred against the governing body of the order. We have given every reasonable facility to either side, and we think that the facts necessitating our attention have been exhaustively brought before us.

H.—l.

To facilitate the inquiry, we have marshalled the charges contained in the application in alphabetical order. These were presented to us by Mr. Bold, the secretary of the Pacific Lodge, on behalf of the applicants, and Mr. Mackay, the District Grand Secretary, represented the governing body. A. Disfrcmchisement of the Pacific Lodge No. 8 at the Biennial Grand Lodge Meeting by the Wrongful Exclusion of its Duly Appointed Representative on the 9th February, 1905. This heading of the inquiry has caused us more serious consideration than any other. It appears that Mr. Bold attended as representative of the Pacific Lodge at a meeting of the District Grand Lodge held at New Plymouth in February, 1905, and there brought certain charges against the executive. These, with the exception of A, and one other which has since been dropped, are the same as those submitted for our consideration. They were brought up and examined into by a committee of the whole, at which Mr. Bold conducted the case on behalf of his lodge, and Mr. Mackay replied on behalf of the executive, the result being that the committee decided that the charges were frivolous and vexatious in the extreme, and stated their regret that he (Mr. Bold) should have seen fit to take such action, and that they had every confidence in the executive's action. If the committee had stopped here no difficulty could have arisen. Mr. Bold, in his evidence at page 13, said, in answer to the question, "What course do you suggest the Grand Lodge should have taken?" "In the motion they could have stopped at the fifth line. We should then have had no cause of complaint had they stopped at that line." The fifth line referred to is that line in the minutes which completes the committee's decision so far as above-mentioned. The decision went further, however, and passed the following : " That Bro. Bold be asked to tender the executive a satisfactory apology, failing which the executive be recommended to either suspend Bro. Bold or inflict a fine." We learn from the evidence (though the minutes do not specifically record it) that this recommendation was adopted by District Grand Lodge, and that Mr. Bold refused to apologize, and was suspended for the remainder of the session. We consider that here District Grand Lodge went further than was justifiable. There is no suggestion of any personal misbehaviour on his part. He was there as the representative of his lodge, and as such had a right to bring forward any supposed grievance, no matter of what nature, of which due notice had been given. It must be understood that D.G.L. consists of an aggregation of subordinate lodges, and we know of no rule or authority which would justify the action of D.G.L. in excluding the representative of any lodge from participation in its proceedings, excepting under very exceptional circumstances, which in this instance did not take place. We emphasize this, inasmuch as there can be no doubt that District Grand Lodge is not all-powerful. But at the same time we feel that the utmost freedom within certain bounds should be accorded to such a representative body to manage the domestic affairs of the order. We further recognise that there may be inherent rights in D.G.L. in so far as they are not restricted by statute or rule. We have shown that Mr. Bold has stated that he would have had no cause of complaint if the committee of District Grand Lodge had confined themselves to the issues before them. The applicants, however, have brought all but one of these charges under our consideration, and we must therefore deal with them. We consider that this charge is sustained. The claim, however, of the applicants, as set forth on pages 13 and 14 of the evidence, that the proceedings be annulled cannot be recognised. B. Execution of Agreements in the, Name of the Society with regard, to the Affiliation of Late Victorian Lodges, granting Privileges in connection therewith which were unauthorised, ultra vires, and, detrimental to the Members of the Society. To thoroughly understand this charge we think it necessary to summarise the causes which led up to the creation of District Grand Lodge in New Zealand. The Order of Druids in New Zealand owes its origin to the Grand Lodge of Victoria. It was found unsatisfactory that contributions should be forwarded to that Grand Lodge, which was beyond the legal jurisdiction of New Zealand, and, moreover, the feeling existed in favour of local autonomy, which prevails throughout the colony in regard to other societies and the body politic—in other words, a desire to manage its own affairs. We find that eleven of these Victorian lodges in New Zealand obtained a charter from the Grand Lodge of Victoria and formed the District Grand Lodge, so called because it still holds some kind of allegiance to the Grand Lodge of Victoria, though it is to all intents and purposes an autonomous body financially. Other lodges joined from time to time, so that at the present time there are forty-eight lodges who are under the jurisdiction of the District Grand Lodge of the North Island of New Zealand. In carrying out this scheme, financial arrangements had to be made with the Grand Lodge of Victoria. These financial arrangements seem to have passed through three separate stages, each subsequent one being more stringent as against the District Grand Lodge of New Zealand. Charge B refers particularly to the admission of three lodges, viz., the Maitai, the Excelsior, and the Star of the West. It may be assumed that D.G.L. under force of circumstances submitted to more stringent conditions dictated by Grand Lodge of Victoria than were satisfactory. But we consider that the executive honestly did their best in the interests of the order in New Zealand. Mr. Bold quoted in support of his contention from the Friendly Societies Act, and also relied upon the fact that there was no rule empowering the taking over of any lodge (vide his evidence at page 1?). Considering that D-.G.L. was formed for the purpose of taking over the Victorian lodges in New Zealand, we think his argument is groundless. The advantages of adding these lodges to the number of the New Zealand lodges may reasonably be considered to have outweighed the price at which they were taken over. In this matter we are of the opinion that D.G.L. acted within its powers. It is not to be expected that an amalgamation of this kind could be given effect to without some incidental difficulties. For these reasons we consider that the applicants entirely fail to substantiate this charge. 2-H. 1.

H.—l.

('. The Payment of Grand Lodge Funds in respect of the Deaths of Persons who were not legally entitled to Benefits, and making Levies on Lodges in respect thereto. The consideration of this charge is involved with that of charge B. A certain bargain was made with regard to the above-mentioned three lodges on taking them over from the Grand Lodge of Victoria. These three lodges were penalised for six months' dues from the Ist day of .March, 1904. Therefore, from the Ist day of September, 1904, they were entitled to reap equal advantages with other lodges working under District Grand Lodge, the D.G.L. receiving the benefit of any refund from the Wrand Lodge of Victoria in pursuance of the agreements. They were (it seems clear) equitably entitled, though not registered under the Friendly Societies Act until the Bth November, 1904. The whole of the applicants' contention is founded on the technicality with regard to the date of registration being subsequent to certain special death levies having been paid in the interim between the Ist September and the Bth November, the date on which the certificate of registration was issued. The issue of the certificate was delayed for reasons that we need not dwell upon, inasmuch as they in no wise affect the fact that the bargain was made and faithfully carried out. We may mention that the evidence goes to show that a member of the Pacific Lodge died during the period mentioned, and that a special death levy was contributed to by the above-mentioned three lodges. We consider that this charge has not been sustained. D, Also vn respect of the Travelling Allowances of Delegates in Excess of the Amount authorised to be paid. A small sum was involved in this charge, which was paid by the executive in error. The mistake has been admitted. In two or three instances delegates travelling to District Grand Lodge at New Plymouth under misapprehension charged first-class in lieu of the second-class fare authorised by the rules. We recommend that the excess be refunded. F. . The Omission of Notices of Motion from the Grand Lodge Order Paper, which had been duly forwarded for Insertion therein, thereby preventing Consideration thereof. This charge lias taken up a great deal of our time, and we have come to the conclusion that the matter should not have been brought before us. It was dealt with by the tribunals of the order, and we have no reason to consider that they were incorrect in their decision. F. Failure to have Lodge Books examined, periodically, as required by Rule 31 The rules with regard to audit are so complicated that one hesitates to say on whom the responsibility should lie beyond the auditors themselves. Kule 17 states that the District President shall be the examining officer of his district, and shall attend as directed at lodge audits, and shall see that the lodge books are properly kept and audited. Rule 31 seems to throw upon grand officers the duty of directing this examining-officer to do iiis. duty, and on comparing the two rules we find that they have similar powers to his powers; but the duty of the examiuiiig-officer is to report to the Board, whereas Grand Lodge officers have to report to District Grand Lodge. We do not find from minutes of reports submitted to D.G.L. that full reports have been made touching the audits since the meeting at Palmerston North in 1901; but we do remark that in District Presidents' reports to District Grand President there are references which would imply that the District. President made himself conversant with the financial position of at least some of the lodges— e.g., in 1902, at Levin, there is a reference to the incidental fund of Moturoa Lodge being in a very sound condition, and praise is given to the secretary for the admirable way in which his books are kept. In 1903, the copy of the minutes handed to us is imperfect. In 1904, at Auckland, there is an express reference to the financial position of Pacific Lodge. At New Plymouth, in 1905, the financial position of Poneke Lodge is referred to. There is no suggestion that during the last few years (from 1900 onwards) any difficulty has arisen in respect of accounts being improperly kept; nor do we discover that during that interval lodge audits have been neglected. We do not consider that this charge has been substantiated. G. Refusal to allow Inspection of Board of Management Minute-books. In support of this charge Mr. Bold quotes provision 7 in the First Schedule to " The Friendly Societies Act, 1882," and the last paragraph in Rule 26 of District Grand Lodge. We consider that each of these was passed for the protection of persons having an interest in the funds of the society, and that the books referred to are such as have reference to the finances of the order. The executive refused to allow Mr. Bold to examine the minute-book of the board of management. The financial matters of the order are contained elsewhere, and are open to inspection in books kept for the purpose. We consider that the executive were justified in refusing to submit their minutes to inspection. The part of the Act and the rule referred to make use of the expression "every person." It cannot be a reasonable construction of the provision that a mere creditor should have access to all the books of the order, though interested in its financial condition. Such a liberty is not permitted to a shareholder in a joint-stock company, though statutory provision is made somewhat similarly for the examination of books. We consider that the applicants have entirely failed in their contention. H. Neglect and Great Delay in supplying Information legitimately asked for. We have considered the details of this charge. It has been shown that no similar complaint has been made by any lodges (some forty in number) other than Pacific Lodge, and in regard to that

H.—l.

lodge the executive considered that some of the communications were of an offensive nature, and should not be answered. There is no doubt there was irritation on both sides. We conclude that as far as we are concerned this charge should be dismissed. /. Neglect to carry out Resolutions of Grand Lodge re Establishment of a Supreme Legislature-. We do not see how this can be a charge. If the executive have neglected to carry out the orders of Grand Lodge, the remedy lies with Grand Lodge. That body, however, has adopted the notion of the executive. J . Circulating Official Documents without Proper Authority. This is a charge which is rather surprising. A measure affecting friendly societies was brought before the House of Assembly, and Mr. Bold, without any authority, took upon himself to move in the matter (vide pp. 45 to 49 inclusive of the evidence). It is true, however, that he was afterv. ards upheld by his lodge. His complaint is that what he considered he had a right to do as a private member of the society in advancing a legislative enactment, the executive had no right to object to without the authority of the Grand Lodge. We do not agree with this contention. Moreover, by signing his letter to the Premier on this subject as "' E. Bold, Secretary of Pacific Lodge," he gave an official character to his communication which it otherwise would not have possessed. This charge is not sustained. K. Circulating officially Incorrect and Unauthorised Statements calculated to mislead and misrepresent. There was a clerical error in a letter written by District Grand Lodge to Mr. Bold with regard to some communication between the District Grand Secretary and the Registrar of Friendly Societies, and a difference of opinion between Mr. Bold and the D.G.S. touching a local in a newspaper authorised by the latter gentleman : but inasmuch as nothing eventuated therefrom, and no one was prejudiced thereby, we cannot understand why this charge should have been brought. L. Also mutilating and misrepresenting Communications transmitted through the Office of Grand Lodge. This charge seems to be the same as the last one, and we have no other remark to make with regard to it. We much regret ti.at this inquiry was considered necessary, a proceeding which, while provided for in the Friendly Societies Act, is one that hitherto has not been called into operation by any friendly society in New Zealand. We think that the fraternal spirit inculcated by all friendly societies, guided by a liberal interpretation of the rules and mutual forbearance, should have sufficient influence to confine disputes for settlement within the jurisdiction of their own appointed tribunals. It is within the powers of all friendly societies to frame or amend their rules in the direction of Ihe prevention of any injustice to lodges or individual members, and undoubtedly the aim of the societies is to make the settlement of any dispute under their registered rules final and without appeal to outside authority. This, we think, is the correct view of the matter, because it is the duty of all members of a society to treat each other with the utmost fairness, as also it is their duty to take care that the machinery provided in their rules for this purpose is ample and complete. A perusal of the rules of the U.A.O.D. for the North Island of New Zealand to our minds shows that in many respects they are in need of amendment, and that further rules are required to meet deficiencies, some of which have become apparent during this inquiry. We consider that the duties of District President relating to lodge audits could be well abolishedA portion of the duties expected from this officer in connection with lodge books at audits would be better discharged by a book-examiner appointed hj the District Grand Lodge, who, by his training, should be adapted to this special purpose. The presence of a D.P. at the lodge audit conveys no guarantee that the books are financially correct. We have evidence that the Arch Druid of the lodge has to be present to see that audits are properly conducted, so that the presence of the D.P. ought to be unnecessary, while the Grand Secretary by means of the lodge returns and other sources of information should be in the best position to report to Grand Lodge. However, should the office of D.P. be continued, we think that his status and powers should be better defined. We have only mentioned this as an illustration of the weakness of the present rules. We have not the time, nor does it come within the scope of our inquiry, to open up the question of a complete revision of the rules ; but we would like to take this opportunity of urging the order to endeavour to improve the existing system by which the board of management (or executive) transact business. We do not think the present method is the best which can be devised for effective government of the order between the meetings of the Grand Lodge. The members of the executive often reside at long distances apart, consequently executive business has to be conducted largely by correspondence, tending to delay questions which probably may require prompt attention. Besides, there cannot be that full consideration which would be gained by a personal interchange of views. We think it would be more satisfactory if the executive could meet periodically for this purpose, and not at such times as " it may think expedient.' . During the inquiry references were made to the financial affairs of two lodges, discrepancies or errors being; discovered which , should never have escaped the lodge auditor's investigation. We think this is a suitable opportunity to urge upon all lodges the desirability of availing themselves of the services of a public auditor for inspection and audit of the annual balance-sheets. We are aware that custom and the rules provide for this work being done by members of the lodges, whe may or may not be competent for the work : still we would urge that, in view of the large sums oi money accumulating, and the numerous securities requiring examination, the members should avail

H.—l

themselves of the authority granted by section 5, subsection (6), of the Friendly Societies Act and have a thorough audit by a public auditor at least annually. We desire to bear testimony to the able manner in which the representatives of both sides placed before us their views upon the questions submitted. For our part, we have endeavoured to give every facility for an impartial investigation, and we trust that all irritation will disappear, and that both sides will work for the advancement of the order, which in recent years has made such magnificent progress in the North Island of New Zealand. We forward herewith, for your consideration, a copy of the whole of the evidence taken on this inquiry. We have, &c, W. H. Quick, Chairman. H. Birch. Wellington, 20th January, 1906. On receipt of the report, the Registrar, in terms of section 28 of the Act, apportioned the cost of the inquiry (viz., £60 18s.) to be borne as follows: Grand Lodge, North Island (one-fourth), £16 4s. 6d. ; the applicants (three-fourths), £45 13s. 6d. Othek Societies on Register. At the end of 1906 there were 16 isolated friendly societies, 4 juvenile societies, 16 workingmen's clubs, and 21 specially authorised societies: total, 57. Returns for 1906 were received from 39 and for 1905 from 49 of these societies, details of which will be found in Tables VII and VIIa. Trade-unions. There were no changes in these registrations during the year 1906. Unclassified Societies Registration Act. The Department has the administration of this Act. During the year 50 incorporations were effected, making the total number of registrations 411, less 7 cancelled, leaving 404 as the number of societies on register. A statement is appended hereto grouping the societies now on the register: — Sports— Number.

Section 16 of the Act of 1895 authorises the cancellation of the certificate of incorporation should it be found that the society is other than an unclassified society, but the Act provides no means of ascertaining whether or.not a society is conducting its operations in conformity with its registered objects. 6 J Robt.
