APPENDIX VI. Notice to Friendly Societies relative to Payment for Valuations under " The Friendly Societies Act, 1882." The Treasury, Wellington, 7th May, 1891. I am directed by the Hon. the Colonial Treasurer to inform you that the Government have decided to discontinue the present system of payment to Public Valuers for the quinquennial valuations required under " The Friendly Societies Act, 1882." In order that societies may continue to be relieved of the cost of valuation, it will be at their option to have the valuation made by the Actuary attached to the office of the Registrar of Friendly Societies. Should any society desire to elect its own Valuer, such Valuer must be approved of by the Governor in accordance with "The Friendly Societies Act, 1882," the fees of such Valuer being paid by the society. This notice will apply to all societies whose next due valuation shall not have been furnished to the Registrar of Friendly Societies before the Ist July, 1892. James B. Heywood, Secretary to the Treasury,
