your surplus fund aid seed yos' esbedules, showing .udt• 'dual elle.:•tto•s of surplus to

For the year 1895, you made • very band.ome gain in surplus, adding to that amount
some 467,000 for the year, after setting aside 425 (CO as an eldittooal contingent reserve
to aonapate any chang. the Governmsot may make n the ..nes upon which policy re.
serves are computed. This amount, however, reaming as actual surplus whsle no credit
is taken for it in the surplus account.
The Company has made great progress daring the year. showing large ioereaw is
the Reserve Fuad tor the protection of polies -holden. and in Anew. aid other atoms Re-
dman.* of mild and he•lthr growth.
