The Registrar of Friendly Societies to the Hon. the Minister. Sir, — Wellington, Ist July, 1927. I have the honour to submit herewith, in accordance with the Act, the annual report of this Office for the year ended 31st December, 1926. I have, &c., R. WITHEFORD, Registrar of Friendly Societies. General. Mr. William M. Wright vacated the office of Registrar during the year. The membership of friendly societies increased from 91,353 to 94,467, a gain of 3,114, equal to 3-41 per cent. This increase, although slightly less than in each of the three preceding years, indicates the continued popularity of the friendly-society movement in New Zealand.

Bd., as compared with £34 6s. 7d. for the year 1925. The total net interest earnings of the Sick and Funeral Funds during the year was £159.103. This represents a rate equal to 5-81 per cent., as against 5'75 per cent, for the previous year. The average contributions and interest per member credited to the Sick and Funeral Funds increased from £3 10s. 3d. to £3 lis. 4d., and the cost of sickness and funeral benefits per member at risk from £1 9s.
