The Sixty-seventlli Annual Meeting
of the Shareholders of this company
was held(: at its offices, Toronto, on
Thursday; 28th" February, 1901.
The President, Bon. Geo. Al Cox, oc-
cupied the chair, and Mr. T. Hi. Sims,
who . tva.s appointod to act as Secre-
tary, read the annual report, of which
l.he following is a summary :—
Your directors have the honor to
present the annual report and finan-
cial statement of the company's sixty-
seventh year, duly•vouched for by its
auditors.
It will<be noted that. therejias been
a considerable increase in the premium
income for the year; this being+ mainly
due to the business derived from the
now fields in which' the company bas
established business, connections, and
also to the improved conditions that
have prevailed in the marine business.
Two, half -yearly dividends have been
declared at( the sato of 7per cent, per
annum, amounting to $60,323.96, and
the. reserve fund has been increased to
$581,457.22.
In view of th'e abnormal fire losses
on this continent during the year 1900,
including :the disastrous conflagra-
tion in April last in the cities of Hull
and Ottawa, which involved a loss of
property to the value of about ten
million dollars, your directors feel
that the statements herewith sub-
mitted must be regarded as satisfac-
tory by the 15hareholders.
The capital stock of the company
has been increased to ane million•..dol-
lars,. in acotordance- with the 'by -lacy
passed at the •last 'annual meeting, the
$250,000,00 new stock . `authorized to
be issued at a premium of 15 per cent.
having been all taken up.

The President, who moved the adop-
tion of the report, which we''s second.-
ed.
econded by the Vice -President, referred to
the exceptionally heavy losses by
fire on this continent during the year
under review, and said that, although
the report just read did net present
so favorable a showing, as far' as the
balance between income and expendi-
ture for the year was concerned, as
the. preceding ' annual statements
which he had, had the honor • during
the past eight years of submitting to
the shareholders,' ho felt that there
was 'perhaps a$ much matter for eon -
gra tulatiOn
an-gratulation in the figures embraced-
in the accounts for the year 1900 as in
those of some preceding statements
which have shown a rupee favorable
balance sheet. It was gratifyingto
observe ,the continued increase' in the,
volume of business transacted.While.
there had been a satisfactory' growth
of income from fields in which the
company had for ;years past been car-
rying on operations, he was glad. to
be able to:,say, that, from. the agen-
cies recently established beyond the
limits of this - continent, very en-
couraging ` returns have been re-
ceived. The predictions that the di-
rectors ventured to make a year ago
as to a probable improvement ha con-
ditions of
onditionsof marine business had, bewas
pleased to say, been realized, and, as a
fesuLt of the better rates which,
speaking generally, had prevailed
both upon inland lake and ocean"risks
there had been a fair margin of profit
upon the . business written in: ` that
branch during the year. But _what,
in his estimation was more a matter
of congratulation than any of the
'figures to whichl he had referred was
the fact that at the close of a year
in which the fire lasses in Canada and
the United States have been very,
largely in excess of those of average
years they were able to present a bal-
ance sheet which showed a loss ofless
than one per cent. upon the premium
income as the result of the year's un-
derwriting transactions — that is,
the income derived from in-
terestignoring and rent.

A Pleasant Medicine.—There are some

turbances in the patient, adding to his
troubles and perplexities rather than
diminishing them. One -might- as well
swallow some corrosive material. Par

are easy to take, are not unpleasant "to

The IiierlleA substantial increase has taken place in our premium income, which
,
amounted to$2.95t,087.33, or, including considerations for annuities,
to 93,055,905.33. The income from Interest amounted to the large sum
of $906.426.21;” These figures exceed the highest point yet reached the Company ,both

as to premiums •:nd interest.

For the s '

exceeded the minion dollar mark, the payments amounting to;
$1,112,367.43, which. however was well within the amount expect-

+.Tho totnl,payntents to policy -holders and annuitants amounted to $2,282,810.50.
Omitting all annuityy transactions, the actual expenses of management for the year
(including taxes and government fees) amounted to 14.03 per cent. ot•the income from pre
minms and interest. This percentage is Iess than the corresponding one for the previous
year. In this connection, a respectful "protest should be entered against the unfair meas-
ure of taxation which life insurance companies are subjected' to by some Provincial and
State enactments,
The Assets. Owing to the temporary stringency in the money market during the
past year, little difflcnitywas experienced in, securing desirable invest-
ments. The assets of the Company increased duringyear

to $22,018,201,03, being more than double the amount reported ten years ago.

new standard, as well as for all other liabilities to roliey-holders, there remains a surplus.
on policy -holders' account of $1,005,513,33. At 31st December last the paid-up capital

I venture to think that our Financial Statement this year is one that will command the
confidence of the public in the sound and prosperous condition of the Company. Inde 'd, the
Delando Sheet, does not, perhaps, fully reveal the strength of the Company, As most of you
are aware, the Directors or this Company, as far back as'iSeu, commenced to look forward to a
change of valuation basis from 4, per cent. rate of interest, and the progress' we have made
from that time to this is best illustrated by showing what surplus margin the Company would
now have, if its policy liabilities wero valued firer, upon the usual American standard; and
secondly upon the Dominion Government standard.
THE STRENGTH OF THE COF1PANY,
The surplus upon policy -holders' account, according to the Conipany's'standari, is note
$1,005,513,53. Now, if we,adopted the usual American valuation .'standard (Actuaries 4 per
cent.), and had set aside no special reserve fund for a higher standard, Our ; surplus upon
policy -holders' account would have been $1,673,415.00.
Similarly, upon the Dominion Government Standard (Hm. 4i per cent. add 3} per cent.
for new business), our corresponding surplus would have been approximately $2,674,000,00. The
relative positions are thus shown to be as follows :
Surplus on policyholders' account, as pet Company's standard . ...... ......:.. „$1,005.513.63
Sur his on police holders' account, at per American. Government standard,., ....... 1.673 415.00
Surplus on policyholders' account, as per Canadian Government standard.......... 2,671,000 00
While our position is' thus shown to be a strong ono, t donut haliero it erre on the side of
being too strong, in view of the 'transformations .that are now taking place in the financial
world generally, and by many leading tom aniesinparticular The great benefi s that will
lie
aceruoto our po yholder$on account of the increased earning power noir established will
become more and nmoreInanifea as time elapses.
The large benefits' that aro now conferred upon the holders of the Company's policies aro
shown by the report, from which it will bo seen that $2,251,813.36 was di tributed to policy-
holders by way of death claims and matured endowments, profits, surrender values and
annuities.
