GOVERNMENT LIFE INSURANCE DEPARTMENT. Premiums. State Guarantee. Participation in Profits. Present Accumulated Fund, over £1,500,000. Ahnual Income exceeds £282,000. Gash Surplus in 1885, over £242,000 (XiAST DXSTBZBVTXOK). THE Rate* of Premium now in force in thia Office are lower than those charged to participating Policyholders by any other Office doing busmens in the Australasian Colonies. It is 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 little profit was expected to accrue, no less than £242,000 of CASH SURPLUS, or nearly 25 per cent, of the whole accumulated fund Bt 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 since the preceding distribution. Thus, the advanlagee of an annual distribution are secured witbMt the cost attaching thereto. P. W. FRANUAND, Hl OosniniMloner and Govt Aetuara.
