government life insuhanci DEPARTMENT. doweet Premiums. State Guarantee. Participation in Profits. Present Accumulated Fund, over £1,500,000. Annual Income exceeds £282,000. Gash Surplus in 1885, over £242,000 (lANT DISTMiaUTION). THE Batea of Premium now in force in thia Office are lower than thoae charged to participating Policyholders by any other Office doing business in the Australasian Colonies. It ia nevertheless anticipated that, owing to cheap management and light mortality, very handsome bonuses will become payable to Policyholders insuring under existing- rates. That this is not a mere estimate may be judged from the fact that, under the old scale of premiums, from which comparatively littleprofit was expected to accrue. no lesa than £242,000 of CASH SURPLUS, or nearly 25 per cent, of the whole accumulated fund at that date, was found to have accrued during the quinquennium ended the 31st December, 1885. Of this amount £150,000 was divided, and the balance carried to reserve. All Participating Policies are entitled, on becoming claims, to a Prospective Bonus in accordance with the amount of premiums paid rinoe the preceding distribution. Thus, the advanages of an annual distribution are eecnred witM* Jnt the Maty cost attaching thereto. . 6* 9. W. FRANKLAND, I* JIL, □2 Onmnihslunsr and Govt ▲etwarv.
