The Deadly Automobile --Congestion of Population
—Premier on a Wheel—The June Brides
Eight automobile accidenta oa the
streets of Torcinto since the first of the
seasonresulting in the deaths of eight
children, -reveal the serious proportion to
which the tradle problem has suddenly
grown. The truth of the matter is. the
peophi on the streets havct not yet rea-
lized that Torouto leas become a big
city. They are not taking any more pre,
cautions than when it. was half the size,
and the traffic was less than half as
heavy. The children play on the pave,
meats, or dasb suddenly from one side-
walk to the other reg,ardiess of the fact
that everY thato they do so they take
their lives in their hands.
It is not the inerease in automobiles
alone that has caused the new cOnditf.OnS.
Every type of vehicular traffic, has in.
ereaSed -enormously. Dewit town, and
even on many outlying streets, there is
now serious trao congestion, It is now
no nncommon sight te see eight or ten
lorries, autonu,ibiles and deliverY wag -
seas lined up waiting to got across a
street intersection. .At dozens of busy
corners traffic policemen have now been
installed. These officers have nothing to
do hut stand at the center of the inter-
section and by uPlifted hand or beacon-
ing gesture say whether the four streams
of traffiektug to get Past, the inter*
section may no or stand still. This is
one of the outward waYs in which the
ritli is beginning to show a sitailaritY to
New 'Teich or London.

In 'connection with_ this matter other than
those et the reader.
In speaking of municipal bonds in this
column some months ago it was remarked
that they stood a very small chance of
appreciating in value. There have been
cases, however, where a very fair amount
of profit Ime been made by advances in
price, so this rule is not invariable. Six
or seven years ago Port William 4 1-2 per
cent,. thirty-year bonds sold at a price to
yield 5 per cent, or about 921-4. At the
present time these same aatats on a 5
per cent basis r,,auld sell at about 93. But
iu the past five years Port William has
grown in population and importanee, With
the result that these debentures now sell
at a price to yrelci 41-2 per cont.; that. is
par. So, as 'happen'ed '50 the ""ce se of an
estate 3 know of, there is a nice prolit,of
7 'points in these bonds't after inaking dne
allowance for that proportion of the `adt

A five-year bond bearing interest at five

That is, a man buying such n bond of a

bership for the year under review
was 5,022, being 903 in excess of the
previous year's net additions to the
Order. The total membership a,t
the end of 1911 was 83,120.
In respect to the Insurance Fund,
495 Death Cla,ims were paid during
the year, amounting to $500,570.68.
When, it is considee•ed That in 1910
three more Death Claims were paid,
amounting to a slightly larger gross
total than that paid in 1911, such
a, favorable showing reflects credit-
ably on the physical selection
made of business taken by the Or-
der. After paying this SUM of over
half a million for Death Claims out
of the Insurance Fund the Order
was able to add the very substan-
tial sum of $330,754.64 to its Insur-
ance Fund on hand, being a larger
addition to this Fund than that
made in any previous year. The
total amount standing at the Credit
of this Fund on the ist of June,
1912, was $3,740,359.97.
In respect to the Sick and Funer-
al Benefit Branch, this department,
id,.%0, has 'shown satisfact)ory pro-
gress. There was a net increase in
„membership in this department for
the year of 4,120,- showing a. total
membership on the 31st of Decem-
ber,- 1911, enrolled in this depart-
ment of 53,448. The net, amount
added to the funds of this depart-
ment, after -paying 6,638 claims,
amounting to $161,485.95, was $38,-
460.23; the position of this fund on
the let day of June 1912, showing a
credit balance of ii251,769.36. In-
terest, earned by this Department
on its funds in 1911 amounted to
It Will he seen from this
fact that interest earned is becom-
ing an important factor in this de-
partment of the Order's work.
The General Fund of the Order is
also in a good „position, and on the
ist of June, 1R12*,, showed a credit
balance en hand of $24,127.28! The
