' The, Standard Reliance Mortgage Corporation of. Toronto held its annual Meeting of eharehelders on Monday, lVfitech 2, 1914, in the offices of the Company at 84-88 King Street East, • Toronto, The following report was submitted and appreved:— Your Directors have much pleasure In submitting herewith the first A:t nual Report and Statement for the, past year accompanied by the Balance Sheet to December 31st, 1913, show- ing the result of the Company's oper- ations. The Directors are pleased to submit the First Aanual Report and Balance Sheet of the Corporation for the per- iod ending 31st of December, 1913. The Orderin-Councll approving of the merger of the Standard Loan Com- pany and the Reliance Loan and Sav- ings Company of Ontario' was pearled on the Wist day of April last, and the actual merging took place on the first day of May. It will be noted that after paying all fixed charges and expenses, in - eluding outlays consequent upon the amalgamation, the balance available for distribution has been sufficient to allow of payment of the usual divid- ends to the Shareholders, and an ad- dition of $100,000 to the Rederve Fund. which now stands at $400,000. We are pleased to be able to report a substantial increase in tbe Deben- tures placed by the Company, and also In the Saybegs Accounte. By reason of this our total Asaets now stand at over $5,100,000, or an Increase of over $300,000 since the merger, and the net earnings of the Corporation are greater by over $30,000 than the com- bined net earnings of the two Com- panies prior to the amalgamation The shares held by the Corporation In tbe Dovercourt Land, Building and Savings Company, Limited, represent assets consisting of real estate having an actual value largely in extess of the par value at which the shares are now standing on the books. To fill a vacancy In the Directorate since the amalgamation, Dr, E. Jessop. of St. Catharines, a large and influen- tial shareholder in the Company, was elected. 4 Since the last Ahnual Meeting of the Standard Loan Company, now an Integral part of the amalgamation, the death or one of the most distinguished Canadians, Lord Streehcona, has taken place. We feel sure that all our share- holders deplore the great loss which the Dominion of Canada has sustained by the passing of one of the most not- able figures in the history of our coun- try. He was, at the time of his death, g Director of this Corporation. We take great pleasure in bearing testimony to the efficiency displayed by the offitials and agents of the Cor- poration in performing their resneo- tive duties.
