The Hall was filled to capacity. Reports were given showing the good finan- cial standing of the company. Los­ses amounted to $19,019.25*, total cask collected $17,22i6,85, total ex­ penditure $21,798.01, total assets $103,217,86, liabilities $5,063.10, total resources $437,001.36. Mr, John Allison who had been a director for a great many years ask­ ed to' have his name withdrawn from the list of those nominated, Many nice things were said of Mr. Allison and his faithfulness as a director over a long period. •Mr. William Hamilton, of Hibbert and Mr. Thomas Ballantyne were elected directors for the ensuing three years; Wm. Johns and Gilbert Duncan were elected auditors. The secretary read a very vauable paper from the Fire Marshall’s Depart­ ment showing the cause of most thresher fires to be fr.om matches, cigarette stubs or smoking. A warn­ ing was >given that all matches and smoking material should be handed in and placed in a box before thresh­ ing operations begin, Mr. W. H. Coates, the president, gave the following address; Gentlemen,'—■ The year 1936 has been a very fortunate one for our Company and our annual report gives a very good showing. 'Our losses have been greater than for any one year since 1932, when they were over $21,000. 193'6 was the first year the year­ ly instalment was reduced to ten cents per one 'hundred dollars of in­ surance, but with this exceptionally low rate our cash surplus has de­ creased in 193 6 cnly about $5,000. IThe Company has collected $402 - 25 as a new risk change from new members coming into the Company. We now have 3,029 policies cover­ ing an insurance of twelve million, five hundred and sixty thlousand, four hundred and fifty dollars. This is an increase of 105 policies during the year. All claims but one have been set­ tled by the Board. In the case of the disputed claim the directors of­ fered a fair settlement which was refused by the claiment. The caus­ es of fires were various. House fires were caused mostly by defec­ tive (pipes or chimneys. Lightning was responsible for a few losses of stock, also one barn and one house. Policy holders have been urged to keep their policies in force by paying instalments when due. The agents have been icareful in the -el­ ection of new risks and have suc­ ceeded in keeping the amount of in­ surance on each building below its actual cash value. During the year two fires were prevented by the bravery of two persons. In the one case a barn and its contents was saved from des­ truction through a threshing fire, by one man who fought the fire and smothered it. out. In the other case a woman carried a blazing gasoline lamp out of a house, burning her­ self severely but saving the house. In both cases the Board remunerat­ ed the parties and received the com­ mendation of the Fire Marshall for so doing. The success of the Company de­ pends on the carefulness of each in­ dividual policy holder, -and if you will each do your best to prevent fires, there is no reason why we cannot maintain our Company for years to come on the present rate of 'instalments. At the Directors’ meeting immed­ iately following the annual meeting Mr. Angus Sinclair was elected President, and Mr. John Hackney, Vice-President. DEATH OF M. REGAN Residents of McGillivray Town­ ship were shocked to learn of the sudden and unexpected death on Saturday January 23rd of Mr. Matt.
