The twenty seventh annual meeting of
the Oonfrde•ation Life Association VMS
held at the Head Office of the Company,
Yonge, Richmond and Viotoria•atreete,
Toronto, on Tuesday, March 14tH, 1899,
at2p m.
There was a large attendance of those
interested in the affairs of the Aseooi
ation.
Hon, Sir W. P. (lowland, President,
was appointed to act as Chairman, and J.
K. Macdonald, Managing Director, as
Secretary.
After the usual formalities the follow•
ing report and statements of the affairs
of the Association for the year 1898 were
presented.
Baron%.
Tho Directors herewith lay before the
Polieyboldera and Shareholders the re.
port of the business for the year 1898,
and in doing so they feel that both Policy
holders and Shareholders will find ground
for congratulation with the results of the
operations for the year. The business
generally has been well maintained, and a
satisfactory volume of new business has
been enured on the lines which have
guided your Di
re t r in the
past.t.
Thera were received during
the year
2381 applications for a total new insur-
ance of 58,883,898 ; of these 2251 for 53,.
164,448 were approved ; 118 for $205,450
were declined, not coming up to the Com.
pany's standard, and 12 for $13,500 were
deferred for further information. In
eluding bonus addition, the new business
for the year was 58,186,450. The total
business in force at the close of the year,
was $29,677,418, under 19,930 policies on
17,106 lives.
The claims arising from death among.
the insured were very favorable, and con-
siderably under those for the previous
year. There were 99 deaths, calling for
the sum of 5183,991 under 112 policies.
The valuation of the policy and annuity
obligations of the Aesooiation has been
made on the conservative basis used for
the two previous years, namely, a rate of
interest of 3i per cent, for all business
written since 1895, and 4i per Dent, for
business written prior to that date.
The usual financial statements are
herewith submitted, and they will be
found to exhibit the position of the Oom-
pa.ny at the close of the year.
The auditors have continued to make
their audit each month, and their report
will be found appended to the financial
statements.
By reference to the financial state.
menta, it will be noticed that sub•
otantial payments have been made to the
Polioyholders in the way of profits, th e
sum of $85,390.22 having been paid dur•
ing the year. Taking the last four years,
a total sum of 8345,975 has been paid to
Policyholders in this way, giving an aver:
age of $86,819. During the same four
years the net interest and rents received
have been ouflivient to pay the net claims
arising frotn deaths and leave a surplus
of 5158,840 ; and, during the same period,
the expense ratio has beengradually
brought down, a result, in view of the
volume of now business n'laintained and
the existing conditions, your Director,
believe will bear most favorable Compari-
son.
Your Directors, after oareful consider-
ation, concluded that the improvement in
business generally would Warrant them
building on the vacant land on Queen
street whioh forms part of the Head . Of-
fice block, and they have accordii gly
erected a three storey brick building con•
raining eight stores and two flats; the lat-
ter used as show rooms. All were oar
copied as soon as finished,. The . balance
of the vacant land South of the stores
has been grouud•rented, and the lessee
has erected a brick building thereon for
warehouse purposes, so that what was
non•productive Is now yielding a very
fair return, in addition to paying taxes
and all other ohargee.
Your Direobors, also, though receiving
a good rental for Yong street ,hope in
the Head Office building, deemed it wise,
when the corner store became vacant
some time ago, to make changes in the
construction of the fronts on Yonge
street and part of Riohmond street, by
Which the heavy piers, wliieh were undo.
mm Dial stand
eirable from a co er standpoint,
that will
will give place -to a constructionwl
admit of mole window apace and by that
means be more suitable for the purposes
for which the space is likely' to be used.
These changes are now beingmade, and
will shortly be finished, and the whole
epaoo has been let at oatisfaotoey rentals
and will' be occupied fie soon as the
chanoee are completed, It Will also be
satisfactory to ]Darn that tat th o Head Moo
bonding is filling up with good tenautd at
fair rentals and with good prospects.

report to the returns from the properties

The Directors are pleased to report
continued diligent and faithful 9ervioee
on the part of our field staff, and also of
• the employees. generally.
All the Directors retake, but are eligible

the adoption of the report and financial
statement, said;•—
"It affords us alumni) pleasure, gentlemen,

somewhat in excess of that obtained in the
prevloe° year, and at the eud of the year we
had fusurunee in force aggregating 5e0,077,418
au increase of 61,846,418 over the amount in
force at the and of 1807. This large and
eatiefaetor yamou ut of buss nese has all been
obtuiued while the expeuee ratio of the
company has been less than that of the
previous year, which proves that the busi-
ness of the aesooiation continuos to be of a
hernlnnent and reliable character, The
death claim's for the pear aggregated 518a,-
981, which were 500,893 less than those of the
previous year. Our financial eteteinents
show an increase in income for the year of
