I am pleased to report that the annual returns for the year ended 31st December, 1913, have reached this office in greater numbers and more promptly than hitherto. The tables contain a record number of returns. Many societies, however, failed to strictly comply with the Act, which requires the returns to reach me on or before the 31st March. The number outstanding at that, date in each society was as follows : — Annual Returits Outstanding at 31st March, 1914Name of Society. Central „ , MU.1.0.0.F.— Body. Branches.

Departmental Offices and Staff. The offices ol' the Registrar, together with the National Provident Fund, have been transferred from the Government Buildings to the Bank of New Zealand Building, Te Aro, owing to spacepressure. The change enabled the whole staff to be accommodated under one roof, which conduces to a more efficient supervision of the work. I have to report that the staff, in the face of changes and interruptions, have loyally performed their duties, although this has on several occasions involved considerable inroads on their own time. General Statistics. Membership and Funds. The following table shows the increased membership in 681 lodges" of the Dominion, which furnished returns for 1913 :— Number of members, Ist January ... ... ... 73,579 Number admitted by— Initiation, &c. ... ... ... ... ... 6,048 Clearance ... ... ... ... 764 6,812 80,391 Number who died ... ... ... ... ... 523 Number left by— Clearance . ... ... ... 844 Arrears, (fee. ... ... ... ... ... 5,333 6,700 Number of members at 31st December ... ... ... 73,691 The increase in membership during 1913 was 0"15 per cent., as compared with 220 per cent, for 1912, a result not unexpected in a year noted for industrial upheavals. The total funds of the societies and branches as on the -list December, 1913, amounted to £1,643,177, made up as follows: Sick and Funeral Funds (inclusive of amounts transferred to special funds out of surplus). .£1,517,708; Medical and Management Funds, goods, &c, £125,469. 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 £22 6s.

Taking the several years 1904—1913, 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 next 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 Dominion of New Zealand, according to the latest received statistics, arranged in order of membership : —

Sickness. The number of members sick dining 1913 was 1 I .s:i<), equal to 1670 per 100 members at risk. The sickness experienced during 1913 was 107,934 weeks, equal to '•> weeks I day per sick member, and 1 week 3 days for each member at risk.

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 large orders for 1913 are found to be as follows : —

The percentage of members sick for the year 1913 was therefore highest in the A.0.F., while the average sickness per member at risk was highest in the M.1'.1.0.0.F. and lowest in the 1.0.0. F. In 1912 the percentage of members sick was 17'."i7. the average sickness per member sick was B'sB weeks, and the average sickness per member at risk I'sl weeks.

Mortality. The following statement of average mortality experienced for the year is given herewith, but it takes no account of age incidence: —

Sick and Funeral Fwnds. The contributions and entrance fees paid to Sick and Funeral Funds in 1913 amounted to £111,475. Divided by the mean number of members the average was £1 Ids. 3d., which is the same as in 1912. The interest and rent received by the lodges and central bodies amounted to £68,723 in 1913, equal to 18s. Bd. per member, as against 17s. lid. for 1912. The amount of sickness benefit paid was £74,783 in 1913, equal to £6 (is. 4d. per member sick, and £1 os. 4d. per member-, as against £5 [Ss. 9d. and IDs. lid. respectively for 1912. Viewing the amount paid in relation to the weeks of sickness, the average benefit per week is found to be 13s. lOrl. in 1913, which is the same as in 1912. The funeral benefit paid amounted to £15,229 in 1913, equal to Is. 2d. per member, as compared with 3s. lOd. for 1912. The total worth of the Sicl; and Funeral Funds of 6f<l lodges at the beginning of 1913 was £1,380,750, and at the end of the year £1,465,159. as compared with 664 lodges, worth £1,298,137

and £1,383,954, at the beginning and end of 1912. The balance of gain for the year was £84,385, or £1 2s. lid. per member in 1913, as compared with £85,517, or £1 3s. Bd., in 1912.

The averages for the live leading orders and for all societies are given in the following table for the year 1913 : —

Investment of Funds. The net income from investments credited to the Sick and Funeral Funds for 1913 amounted lo £68,723, the average rate being -1-D5 per cent. (say. CI Ills..), as against £4 Mis. 2d. in 1912.

Administration of Consolidated Societies. The process ni' consolidating the branch benefit funds of societies into one central fund is still occupying the close attention of many societies throughout the Dominion. Some of the legal difficulties consequent upon these consolidations are now beginning to show, more particularly lhe question of eoiit rolling the investment of those funds held in various parts of the Dominion and which constitute the assets of the central fund of tlie main body. The Friendly Societies Act vests the funds of a society in its trustees, and no separate persons outside those trustees can be legally held responsible for the investment and control of those funds. Any extension of these powers of' Controlling the funds implies a corresponding extension of the penalizing sections of the Act in respect of officers responsible for the safe custody of moneys, securities, &C, and societies that are effecting these changes would do well to bear in mind this important point when adopting new rules. Relations between Central and Branch Funds. A judgment of considerable importance to societies was delivered at the Supreme Court, Wellington. The first part of the judgment deals with the powers of a society to take moneys from branch benefit funds collected for a said purpose, and transfer them to a central fund established for the same purpose. The second part of the judgment dealt with a contingency that could seldom happen in a friendly society, and is consequently of less interest to members. The following is the text of the Chief Justice's judgment :— "This is an action brought by plaintiffs as trustees of a branch of a friendly society called the 'Court Sir Charles Napier,' the branch being a branch of the friendly society called the 'Ancient Order of Foresters,' against the defendants, who are the trustees of the friendly society. The plaintiffs ask the Court to declare that certain rules passed and registered by the friendly society are ultra circs and void, and ask for the issue of an injunction to restrain the society from enforcing compliance with these rules. The new rules with respect to which complaint is made are two. viz.,— " Rule 22. new clause (/i : ' That those Courts who at the end of 1910 have drawn out more than they have paid in should refund the amount.'

After this action was commenced these rules were slightly amended, and were registered as follows : — "Rule 22, new clause (y) : 'That one-fourth of each member's contributions paid into the Court's Sick and Funeral Fund be paid into the Central Sick Fund.' " '22. (/.) Those courts who at the end of 1910 have drawn out of the Central Sick Fund more than they have paid in will refund the amount to the said fund.' " ' 22. ((/.) One-fourth of each member's contributions payable into the court's Sick and Funeral Fund shall be paid into the Central Sick Fund, to meet cases of sickness continuing after twelve months, together with the levy under clause (c).' " The court or branch has a court fund usually called the ' Sick and Funeral Fund.' This is the main fund of the court, and the rules provide for the payments according to the age of the members being paid to this fund. These payments vary for males from 2s. 6d. per month when under nineteen years of age to 4s. lid. from thirty-nine to forty. Every member has to pay in addition 6d. per quarter to the Central Sick Fund, which is a district fund. The Sick and Funeral Fund has to bear the cost of funeral allowances and sick-charges up to twelve months. After twelve months' sickness the sick-pay is paid by the district out of the ' Central Sick Fund.' Up to the passing of these new rules this ' Central Sick Fund ' was kept up by the payment of (id. per quarter already referred to, and by 3d. per quarter by the court paid by it out of its Sick and Funeral Fund, in all a sum of 3s. per member per year. I am dealing only with male members. A different charge is made for female members. Then comes clause (g), which enacts that in addition to the 3s. a year, a court must pay one-fourth of each member's contributions to the court's Sick and Funeral Fund to the Central (or District) Sick Fund. " The plaintiffs complain that, the district not having raised the contributions of members to the Sick and Funeral Fund of a court, it will be impossible for a court to pay the sicknesscharge hitherto paid and by the rules payable to its members if, in addition to the levy or contribution of 3s. per year, one fourth of its Sick and Funeral Fund is taken from it for the Central Sick Fund. "What is termed the funeral benefit is really a life-insurance benefit. On the death of a male member his relatives are entitled to £30. This funeral benefit is due to be paid by the court, but the court practically reinsures in the district, and for the payment of a certain sum out of the Sick and Funeral Fund the district undertakes this liability. What, then, has happened in the past is that a court out of the Sick and Funeral Fund has paid to the district a sum for reinsurance of funeral benefits, and has also paid out of its Sick and Funeral Fund a contribution to the Central (or District) Sick Fund, the district paying for sickness which continues after twelve months. " The question raised by the plaintiffs as to the new rule (g) —l prefer to take that rule first —is. Can a district transfer from a Sick and Funeral Fund a share of that fund to the Central Sick Fund? The plaintiffs contend that such an action is a violation of the provisions of the Friendly Societies Act. 1909, section 40. Subsections (1) and (2) of that section are as follows :— " ' (1.) In all registered friendly societies and registered blanches thereof all moneys received or paid on account of each particular fund for which a separate table of contributions has been adopted shall be kept separate and distinct, and shall be entered in a separate account distinct from the moneys received and paid on account of any other fund; and a separate fund or funds shall be established for the payment of all expenses of management, and of all expenses (if any) on account of medical or surgical attendances, including medicine and medical and surgical requisites. " ' (2.) Save as in this Act expressly provided, no transfer shall be made of the moneys of any one benefit fund to meet the liabilities of any other fund, nor shall such moneys, or any interest accruing therefrom, be in any manner applied for the use, whether temporary or permanent, of any fund save the fund to which they properly belong.' " It is urged that what is being done is to take Sick and Funeral Funds to lie used for Sick Funds only. "To this the defendants make two answers: (1) They say that it is not taking funds from one fund and placing the/n to a fund for a different purpose; (2) they raise the point that this Court has no jurisdiction to deal with the internal affairs of a society unless there is some express law violated. " I am of opinion that, so far as this rule is concerned, the Court cannot inquire as to what its effect may be in making a court what is called unfinnncial or insolvent ; and I am also of opinion that this is not a violation of section 40 (2). All the sick and funeral benefits have to come out of the Sick and Funeral Fund. I see no violation of that subsection in the court taking a sum out of that fund to reinsure funeral benefits, and I understand that this has been done for years. The Sick and Funeral Fund is still to be used for sick and funeral benefits. All, in fact, that Rule 22 (g) does is to take from the fund more for the Central Sick Fund than has hitherto been demanded. It is not transferring a Sick Fund to another purpose : the fund is to be used for sickness. It is not a case wdiere there has been such a taking as to leave nothing for funeral purposes: they are provided for. If it should happen that the usual contributions to the Sick and Funeral Fund of a court are not sufficient to pay for sickness up to twelve months, then it seems to me under Rule 49 (a) contributions may be increased, for that rule states that a male member shall contribute, &c, ' not less than provided in the following scale.' Rule 49 (b) makes provision as to the contributions of female members. lam of opinion, therefore, that as to Rule 22 (g) the claim of the plaintiffs has not been substantiated. " The question as to whether Rule 22 (/) is ultra, vires is one of considerable difficulty. The first inquiry must be. What power has a district to make rules?

H.—l

"There seems no direct statement as to what rules a society may enact. Section 31 of the Act of 1909 provides that no amendment of rules shall be registered unless the rules as amended contain all the provisions that would lie required in such rules in accordance with the Second or Third Schedules of the Act. The Second Schedule deals with the rules of societies, and the Third Schedule with the rules of branches. There is nothing very precise in these rules. Rules can be altered: but I apprehend that rules, like other laws, can speak only from their registration. What Rule 22 (/) purports to do is to demand from a branch a return of benefits paid to the branch and which the branch has disbursed to its members. It is, as was put by Mi. Skerrett, to demand from the shareholders of a company the dividends paid to them. It is even more than that, for the sick-benefits paid were paid in pursuance with the rules, and it is ordering that these benefits be repaid. " It is not unusual for friendly societies by rules to make levies on branches or courts; but I am not aware that it has been held that they may make a levy that bears unequally on branches, and that is not in conformity with some general principle. This rule, if it can be construed as a lew, is not on the principle of equality. It is making a levy by seeking to set aside or treat as null a rule that has been in existence and has been acted upon. " Further, the rule may have the effect of taking all the Sick and Funeral Fund : and it was stated that in one court this would happen, thus preventing members getting possible funeral benefits, for the lodge may have no money to reinsure its members for funeral benefits. Were this to happen the provisions of section 40 of the Friendly Societies Act, 1909, would be violated, for no funds for funeral benefits would be left. "The power to alter rules is not clear: Rule 39 (h) shows how rules can be altered. It reads as follows : — " ' 39. (h.) Any courts wishing to make or alter any of these rules shall summon a meeting of the whole court for that purpose, and should the court sanction an alteration in any rule or prepare a new one, notice thereof, duly certified by C.R., S.C.R., and secretary, with court seal attached, shall be sent to the district secretary and each court in the district at least two months prior to a district meeting, at which meeting such new or amended rule shall be brought forward for confirmation or rejection. The executive shall also have power to prepare any new rule or the amendment of any district or subordinate court rule, and it is hereby provided that a copy of all proposed alterations to rules by the executive shall be sent to each court at least two months prior to a district meeting, at which they shall be brought forward for confirmation or otherwise.' " I assume, however, that this rule is sufficient to authorize the society to alter the rules, and the altered rule would bind a member of the society; and a branch or lodge or court is a member. How far this power of alteration can go is seen in Allen v. Gold Reefs of West Africa (Limited) (1900, 1 Ch. 657) in the case of a company, in Smith r. Galloway (1898, 1 Q.B. 71) in the case of a friendly society, in Pepe v. City and Suburban Permanent Building Society (1893, 2 Ch. 311) in the case of a building society, in Baily v. British Equitable Assurance Company (1904, 1 Ch. 374), reversed on appeal (1906, A.C. 35), in the case of an assurance company. These are all cases—and more might be quoted—in which it is clear that where there is a legal power in a company or society the members are subject to it in their future relations with the company or society. All these cases are applicable when considering the new Rule 22 (g); but Rule 22 (/) is not the alteration of a rule to affect future cases, but it is the negation and repeal of a subsisting rule and current arrangement. It is treating the existing rules as having been non-existent and ordering moneys paid under them to be returned. This is more than what is called a retrospective or retroactive law. Such a law may modify or even destroy existing rights. This law does more :it orders a matter ended and concluded to be reopened and dealt with as if the law now enacted had been in existence in the past. As to retrospective by-laws see Smith v. Cox (1910, 13 Gaz. L.R. 181); Smith v. New Zealand Express Company (1910. 13 Gaz. L.R. 183). " The question is. Has the fact that the rules were registered made them valid? Our statute has not the words used in the statute 4 and 5 Will. IV. cap. 40, sec. 4 (referred to in Dewhurst v. Clarkson (1854, 3 - E. AR. 19!), and in Osborne v. Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants (1909, 1 Ch. 163; 1910, A.C. 87). making the rules binding on all members and officers. Further, the rules of a frietidly society must be ' consistent with the requirements of the Friendly Societies Act and the law of New Zealand.' It was admitted by counsel for the defendants that if an amending rule were not consistent with the Act and with the laws of New Zealand, this Court had power to declare the amending rule ultra vires, and that it was not necessary to invoke the aid of the forum set up in the rules. " I am of opinion that the proposed alteration in Rule 22 (/) goes beyond a mere alteration, and is tint in accordance with the rules. I am further of opinion that Rule 22 (/) may take all the Sick and Funeral Fund, and will do so in the case of one court, and leave nothing for funeral benefits. It is a violation of section 40 to take a Sick and Funeral Fund and apply it to one object only. " For these reasons I am of opinion that the Court should, so far as paragraph (/) is concerned, make the order asked for and grant an injunction if the defendants attempt to carry out the provisions of Rule 22 (/.)." Ownership of Hai.i.. It is found that there frequently exists considerable doubts as to the particular fund that can legally claim the hall property of a society as an asset. Many of these properties have been acquired years ago. and the mode of financing their purchase is lost in obscurity. What has repeatedly come before the Department is the fact that lodges have financed hall properties out

H.-l

8

of their Sick and Funeral Funds, and in cases where the property turns out to be a paying investment almost invariably an attempt is subsequently made to transfer that property to the Management Fund. I have no record, however, of any hall property having been transferred to the Management Fund where the hall was a losing concern. Lodge officials would therefore be wise to note that where benefit-fund moneys have been advanced for the purpose of acquiring a hall, the property remains as an asset of that benefit fund, and any transfer of the property to another fund is illegal. Two such eases came under notice during Ihe year. In one instance I found on personal examination of the society's books that the original advance for the purchase of the property had actually been made from the Management Fund, although for every subsequent year the property had been shown as an asset of the Sick Fund. In this case, as the intention of the lodge to place the liability on the Management Fund was clear, the accounts were adjusted, and ihe property will in future be accounted for as a Management Fund asset. In the other case it was obvious that there was an attempt to transfer the property from the Sick Fund which had borne the risk of the investment up to that date. After considerable trouble and continued objection on the part of the lodge, the officials complied with the Act. Irbegular Transfer of Surplus Moneys. I find it necessary to draw the attention of societies' officials and management committees to section 41 (2) of the Friendly Societies Act, 1909, which prohibits the appropriation and transfer of surplus funds unless with the consent of ibis Department. Any such transfer can only be authorized when the conditions laid down by the departmental officers have been com plied with. I regret to state that during the year a case arose where the lodge authorities illegally transferred a considerable surplus sum from its Sick and Funeral Fund to Management Fund. As a portion of the surplus consisted of a hall property that would require to be written down, the transfer could lie authorized only after reducing the total by the amount of depreciation. The Lodge, however, persisted in ignoring the conditions, and showed its disregard for the Act by transferring the unreduced amount. It was impossible to pass over such a defiance of the Act, and with the authority of the Minister proceedings were authorized to be taken against the trustees requiring them to return to the Sick and Funeral Fund the amount over-appropriated. I am glad to say, however, that the lodge saw fit to comply with the Act before the matter reached the Magistrate's Court. Attention is directed to the case for the purpose of intimating to societies that the terms of the Act respecting the transfer or appropriation of surplus benefit-moneys must lie strictly adhered to. Prosecution for Falsifying Balance-sheet. On the 19th February, 1913, a charge was laid against J. McLean, secretary of the Hope of Amberley Lodge, U.A.0.D., Canterbury, for an offence against the Friendly Societies Act in that he did make false entries in the balance-sheet of the lodge as submitted to the Registrar's Office. This constituted an offence under sections 74 (c) and 78 of the Act. The defendant was duly convicted and ordered to pay the costs of the prosecution. British Insurance Act. 1 append for the information of societies some extracts from the first annual report of the Commissioners administering this Act. "The Work of the Commission in relation to Approved Societies. "The relations between the central authority and the approved societies, over two thousand in number, which, with their over twenty thousand branches, have undertaken national insurance business, are in certain respects of a kind not previously familial- in English government. Fach approved society retains its-own identity, and is a voluntary, an independent, and often a purely local body. The sickness and maternity benefits provided under the statute are administered for the whole insured population (except deposit contributors) through these thousands of separate Societies and branches, so that the individual insured person can continue to draw benefit under the State scheme from the voluntary body to which he has been accustomed. "The advantages which were foreseen, and have proved to arise, from the adoption of this method of administration have been mainly three: First, the initial impetus necessary to secure that a very great number of persons should enter State insurance by the 15th July, 1912, was gained by using for this purpose the existing machinery of frequent meetings, regular dissemination of information, and übiquitous canvassing which the societies had in working for private insurance purposes; secondly, the reception of the Act by the insured population was made much more favourable by the association of State insurance with societies created by the people themselves and inspired by a tradition of forethought, thrift, and financial stability: thirdly, the State insurance scheme obtained the advantage of operating through bodies which in the course of many years' working had adjusted themselves in an almost infinite variety of details to the needs of the many different types of the population who had been enrolled in voluntary insurance. "The changes in the organization of societies which a uniform scheme of national insurance, and a uniform financial system set up under the scheme, made necessary have been carried out through the governing bodies and the officials of societies. Where the individual insured person comes in contact with the detailed administration of national insurance he finds, if he lias been in voluntary insurance before, remarkably little change in the system to which he is

9

H.-l

accustomed, while, if he is entering insurance for the first time, he can still exercise a free choice between a number of different systems, and receive his benefits through the one which accords most exactly with his individual needs and tastes. " The payment of contributions by means of stamps on cards is in itself novel, but the old member of a society takes or sends his card to the same official to whom he formerly paid his club subscription, lie receives benefit through his old society. He calls for it as before on the meeting-day of his local lodge, or receives it from the agent of his society whom he already knows, or, if his society is centralized, he receives it as before by postal remittance. "Practically every variety of organization previously engaged in insurance in any form is now represented in the administration of the Act. from the slate club covering a single village to the industrial assurance company with representatives through the United Kingdom. Societies which previously gave sickness benefit, and trade-unions, to many of which work of this character is new, have alike taken steps to make State insurance easily available for their members. Under the Act societies retain their own methods of self-government, with every variation in their internal arrangements, and, if they have branches, in the degree of local autonomy and independence assigned to them. " Two important facts require to be remembered in considering the autonomy left with approved societies under the Act. On the one hand the normal scheme of benefits is laid down in the Act itself, and is not determined, as in private insurance, by the society or its members. The consequent general uniformity of benefits, and security against variation except under defined conditions, must be borne in mind in considering how the requirements of the Act as to self-government were translated into effect in the rules of particular societies. On the other hand, successful administration of the benefits laid down in the Act depends upon societies themselves, who have as great an interest as in private insurance in securing efficiency and economy. There is no common fund out of which benefits are payable. The ' National Health Insurance Fund ' consists of the separate credits of individual societies. Every society in paying benefit is drawing on its own credit and spending its own money. Any undue laxity may impose upon the society, when it has undergone a valuation, the necessity of making a levy, or of reducing the rate of benefit which it pays to its members; while, conversely, economical administration may enable a society to provide additional benefits.

REPORT BY THE ACTUARY. To the Registrar. During the year a considerable amount of attention was occupied by that portion of my duties relating to the advising of societies on actuarial matters. As these strike at the very root of friendly societies' financial organization, it is gratifying to note the increasing tendency of the societies to seek actuarial assistance; and I should not fail to record appreciation of the earnest co-operation and assistance afforded by so many of the leaders of the societies in suitably bringing the somewhat complicated points home to the members. 1 am able to state that during the last four years the financial progress of societies from the actuarial point of view has not been retarded by any of those sudden launchings upon unsound schemes or ill-considered financial measures which were formerly such a prolific cause of trouble. Coming now to the valuations, I have to report that, as in previous years, the valuations made during 1913 were based upon the experience of the New Zealand friendly societies up to age 70, and upon Sutton's English Sickness Tables and 'Fan's Healthy English Mortality Tables after that age. Where a society's experience showed a systematic deviation from the above standard, as in the case of miners and females, the results were suitably modified. Brief notes regarding the societies valued in the year are appended. New Zealand Branch, M.U.1.0.0.F. At the valuation date the New Zealand Branch of the Manchester Unity comprised the following districts, which, while more or less financially independent, are subject to the rules of the branch: Auckland, Taranaki, Wanganui, Hawke's Bay, Wellington Nelson, Marlborough, Motueka, North Westland, Westland, Ashley. North Canterbury, and Ashburton. As this is the first occasion upon which the valuation dates of these districts have been made to fall together, a bird's-eye view of the position of the branch as a whole can be given. The membership at the valuation date was 15,377. An examination shows that the sickness experience in the four or five years preceding the valuation differed by less than 2 per cent, from the standard New Zealand societies' tables, whilst the mortality was a little below the standard. The mean rate of interest earned on the benefit funds as a whole was 4f per cent. At the date of the valuation the Sick and Funeral Funds amounted in all to .£354,739, or considerably over one-third of a million, and the valuation disclosed the following result: Surpluses in solvent lodges, £68,990; deficiencies in deficiency lodges. £39,000: net surplus, £29 990. If the surpluses of £68,990 were assumed to be drawn out and used for other purposes (as will certainly be done with part of the amount), the branch would remain in a deficiency of £39,000. This may look a large amount, but it must be remembered that all the figures of the branch are large. ' In point of fact it represents a deficiency of only lid. in the pound. On the whole the position is certainly very good indeed, a result very largely due to the fact that the branch has always insisted upon an adequate scale of contributions. It is quite clear also that a steady improvement will be shown in the near future. Some of the districts affiliated to the branch are dealt with individually hereunder. Auckland District, New Zealand Branch, M.U.1.0.0.F.: Valued as at the 31st December, 1910. At the valuation date there were thirty-six branches, with a membership of 3,787. The sickness experienced for the four years was unfavourable to the extent of £4,138, or 24 per cent. The mortality for the past nine years has agreed fairly closely with the standard, the deaths over the period numbering 219, as compared with an expectation of 212 by the table. Of the thirty-six lodges only eleven succeeded in earning more than 4 per cent, on their funds, eleven more than 3 per cent,, and the remainder failed to reach 3 per cent. The valuation shows that eighteen lodges have deficiencies amounting to £18,184, and thirteen have surpluses amounting to £11.900. the net deficiency over the district as a whole being £6 284 This represents a considerable improvement on the preceding valuation, the more so in view of the fact that on this occasion a special addition has been made to the liabilities of mining lodges. The outlook for the future is promising. North Westland District, New Zealand Branch, M.U .1.0.0. F.: Valued as at the SJst December. 1910. At the valuation date there were seven branches, with a membership of 471. The sickness experience for the past three years was unfavourable to the extent of £537, or about 28 per cent., while during the past eighteen years the mortality has agreed very closely with the standard tables, the number of deaths in that period being fifty-six, as against fiftyseven expected. The interest earnings were good in all excepting two new lodges. Three of the seven lodges earned over 5 per cent,, one exceeding 1\ per cent. The mean rate earned over the soeietv as a whole was 5-39 per cent. . The valuation disclosed deficiencies in six lodges amounting to £2,185, and a surplus in one lodge amounting to £712. the net deficiency over the society as a whole being £1.473.

The principal features of this district are the high sickness-rates (which are common to all mining districts) and the high interest-rates. In the past the good interest earnings have tended to make up for the excessive sickness claims, and, could a permanent continuance of such high interest be relied upon, the financial position might be stated much more favourably. Taranaki District, A.0.F.: Valued as at the 31st December, 1910. At the valuation date there were nine branches, with a membership of 1,281. The sickness experience of the quinquennium was favourable to the extent of £311, or 6 per cent. The mortality-rate for the past ten years has been very low, the number of deaths in that period being forty-nine, as against seventy-two expected by the standard table. All but one court earned an interest-rate of over 4 per cent, on their funds. The mean rate earned over the district as a whole was a little over 5 per cent. The valuation discloses surpluses in five courts amounting to £4,001, and deficiencies in four courts amounting to £1,483, the net surplus being £2,518. The society shows a marked improvement on the results shown at the previous valuation, and the generally good position is in no small measure due to efficient management. Grand Lodge of Canterbury District, U.A.0.D.: Valued as nt the 81st December, 1910. At the valuation date there were twenty-three branches, with a membership of 2,900. The sickness experience of the quinquennium was favourable to the extent of £925, or 7 per cent., while the mortality for the past twenty years has been low, the deaths in that period being 216, as against an expectation of 239 by the standard table. Out of the twenty-three lodges only five earned less than 4 per cent. The mean rate over the whole district was over 4J per cent. The valuation discloses deficiencies in twenty-two lodges amounting to £18,099, a surplus in one lodge amounting to £176, and a deficiency in the District Funeral Fund of £5,721, the net deficiency over the district as a whole being £17,923. Though the deficiency is large, the society has during the last fifteen years slowly improved its position, the rates of solvency being now 17s. 2d. in the pound, as against 15s. lid. in 1898. If this improvement is maintained it will be well. During the quinquennium the society abolished the special fund which undertook to give special funeral benefits on the notorious equal levy or assessment system, and which was the subject of criticism in my last valuation report. The society is entitled to credit for grappling with the problem. The society possesses a fund designed to relieve members of their contribution payments after age 70, but the fund promises a great deal more than it is constructed to perform. A. T. Traversi, Actuary.
