AshT-urton Permanent Building and Investment Society.

The annual general meeting of the' share ho'ders iit the Ashburton Permanent Build* - ing and investment Society was held m the office yesterday after oon. Dr Trevor, Chairman of the society, presided, and there was a fair attendance, as a tendances go at the annual meetings of thia society, the shareholders apparently having ever confidence m those gentlemen who have the management of the society's business m thei hands. ANNUAL BEPOBT. The annual report was read as under : — The Directors have pleasure m submitting to the shareholders the twenty-third annnal report. After allowing .interest at 7 per cent on capital and investment shares, the profit and loss accounb shows a credit balance of £721 3s 7d, which yonr direotors recommend to be appropriated as follows :— The payment of 3 per cent npon " A '," oapital, adding the same percentage to the "B " investment shares, and oarrying for ward the balance, £194 Is Bd. The retiring directors are Messrs William Baxter and Alfred Harrison, who have offered them* selves for re-eleotion. Dr Trevor, m moving the adoption of the report, Baid that waß the twenty third time he had bad the honor of. doing so, and on every occasion had had, as he did now, to congratulate them on the fitm condition of the society. The society had grown steadily, like the Britißh Empire, and waa now more solid than ever it had been. There had been ninety-five loans issued last year for a total, of £15,456, or an average of £150. Of the many loans the sooiety hai issued not one had failed, and the only property the society had upon its hands was the section oh whioh the offices stood, and this property was being further builb upon. He had every reason to believe that next year would be a prosperous one, though he was not prepared to say that a dividend oi 10 per cent would be declared, and m the E resent state of the money market, that could ardly be expected. In giving a short summary of the society's business for the last ten years, he said that there had been 107 applications for loanß this year of whioh 95 had been granted. In 1894, the loans on their bookß represented £47,860; deposits, £27,718 j capital, £14,849. There had bßen a Bteady increase every year under each of these headings until the figures m 1898 Bhowed — loans, £57,419 ; deposits, £36.933 ; capital, £18,670. Mr Bullook seconded the motion, re marking upon the large number of invest ment shares that were taken up. He always made it a point to impress upon the young men of his acquaintance the advisableness of taking these shares, and would be all the better pleased to see the amouDt reduced to ±25. .he lower priced shares would run out sooner. Depositors m the society had a very safe investment, getting a high rate of interest; and it waa also a grand means of providing the people with homes. Mr Hugo Fried'ander said ib was hardly necessary to dwell upon the soundness of tho society, itverybody knew that it was sound, but he would be glad to see a larger number of the shareholders of the society present afc those annual meeting lo hear what, the directors bad to say about the management. Shareholders by absenting themselves from these meetings had to de pend up-m the report iv the newspaper for their infurm.tion, bub they ought to show greater interost m the business that was being done for them, no matter how great the confidence they had m the directors. He pointed cut that the profits were drawn from entrance f.es, working expenses, and interest charged. Mr Bullock said that there was an im pression abroad that the Society was only for- the well-to-do. He wished to correct this impression. The shares were 5s a month, aud the humblest could take advan tage cf it. Ib would be far better for many to pay this money than to spend it m a less laudable way. Mr Harrison wished to add that the Directors had never yet refused to allow shares to bo withdrawn, and this was a fact ( hat ought to be widely known, although ib would be desirable also to bear m mind that though Ike withdrawal of shares had never been refused yet they were uot sup posed to be withdrawn at call, tho director having it m their option to require three months' notice. lhe report was adopted. ELECTION OF DIBECTOBS, The retiring direotors — Messrs William Baxter and Alfred Harrison— were re-elected, both of whom paid high compliments to the excellent manner m which the board of directors worked, tbe enthusiasm they threw into their work, and the punctuality they observed m all that appertained to the bu.i uess of the society. Kindly reference was also made to Mr Douglas, who for a lengthened period had been a director, but had been compelled to resign when he lefb the distriob. THANKS. Dr Leahy moved a vote of thanks to the directors, The bashfulness of the directors themselves was such that they had refrained from saying all that was really due to them. The success of the society was mainly due to the excellence of the work done by the directors, and it was a great pleasure to him to belong to the society and to come there every year and enjoy this extremely pleasant meeting. Mr Albert Roberts seconded the motion, which was carried. Dr Trevor acknowledged the vote, and jocularly remarked that if one wanted a nice thing nicely said, it was wise to entrust the duty of saying, it to an Irishman. (Laughter). Thanks were passed to the auditors, and also to the staff, the Chairman paying a high tribute of praise to Mr Stephens, the manager, aud to Mr Robottom, tbe junior m the office, for the admirable way m whioh the management was carried on. He was the better abe to speak of Mr Stephen's work, as all reports, etc., had to pass through his hands,. Mr Baxter also bore his testimony to the efficiency of the staff. Mr Stephens m acknowledging tbe vote \ said it was the ninth balanoe sheet he had prepared for the society, and while ha thanked them for the kindly recognition of his services they had manifested, he was noc blind to how muoh of the society's success w_B due to the efforts of the direotors. A vote of thanks to the Chairman olosed the business, and the directors held a meeting at which Dr Trevor was re-elected Chairman.



Hom.oway's Pills— Factory Operatives and VVoikers m Manufactories —The re- markable remedies whioh have been dis- covered aud perfected by Thomas Holloway, and which have for more than fifty years been successfully used m every quarter of the globe, are especially useful m all the manifold ailments which afflict thoce who by reason of their occupation are confined fjr years, or all their lives, m crowded buildings and workshops. Holloway's Pills and Ointment are associated remedies, the former restoring the vital powers when diminished, and always acting as an effioient blood purifier, whilst the latter relieves local maladies, checks inflammation, and acts as a cleansing and healing agent m cases of bad legs, bad breasts, ulcers, and unhealthy sores of all kinds. Rsv. E. Edwards, pastor of the English B-pbisb Church at Minersville, Pa., when suffering with rheumatiam, was advised to try Chamberlain's Pain Balm. He sajß: •« A few applications of this liniment proved of great service to me. It subdued the in* fUmmation aud relieved the pain. Should any sufferer profit by giving Patn Balm a trial it will please me." For sale by the Aibburtoß Drug Qwfw?*



The Standard Insurance Company. . .» — - — — Pießß Association— By Electric Telegraph Dunedin, March 7 At the annual meeting of the Standard Insurance Company held this afternoon the Chairman, Mr John Reid, aaid :— "Our ISsses had been abnormally heavy during the past year. In particular the company suffered ln the conflagration which took place m Mel- bourne m November last to the extent of nearly £10,000. Bad years mußt be looked for b£ insurance companies as well as good ones. To provide for them we have pru- dently laid by part of our profits to a reserve fund, and on this occasion have had to fall baok upon ib bo the extent of £10,000. Your direotore, although unable to recom- mend the payment of the uaual dividend of 7"- per cent have reoommended the payment of an amount per share which, with the interim dividend paid m June last, will give shareholders a dividend of 5 per oent for the year. We are sorry on this occasion to have to break our dividend paying reoord, as for the laßt sixteen yearß the oompany haß regularly paid its 7_ per cent. Our charges, including licenses, government taxes, and fire brigades have been 31 per cent, which is well within the usual ratio for insurance companies. It will interest you to know, as ihe company has a considerable business m Australia, that Bince our last meeting tariff agreements have been brought into operation m Victoria, New South Wales and South Auatralia. Theße agreements have not a' med ab establishing any con- siderable increase of rates but rather to seoure rating on an equitable and scientific basis, to place business on a better footing, and to prevent thab reckless competition whioh occurs where so many offices are competing for business when no euoh agree- ments exist."
