_ noujiE pointed out that the direc *& not^nly taken £11,000.t0 pay this torß r 'detid with. but olso tho lncreoeed yfnfthe Company's investments. Iho v"'u nnn of last year's profit balance had f13,00U 0 absorbed, inasmuch as alßo nearly au b I(lnce of £824, set the_r t he Payment of the dividend. "??■ ftii»M4» endowed Mr Bells rag. •t-«n about the prior circulation of copiea fZ^balance-sheet, and requested the man of tn take a note of it. As for tho business % ™«t year, it decidedly had not tea -0 Athe directors' expectations, and it wns l'^.', very reason that tho directors had io[ lo roueh pains during the year to cut "v 1 »t they considered bad businoss, be framing their agent. They were Jmcine their steps, as was proved by tho rlflsion of the Company* re-lnrarancoi a 1 the circumspectien of its businea?. Zv h«d taken a bold and firm hold of the 1 mesa in <"-dcr to brin" lt; lnto a bctlor I I. He did not see why ono bud year's ""rations BnO uld lead to tho suppression (the dividend when they had been con tinually adding to the fieeorvo Fund during I"j^ 0E S t Kw7f34,ooolias boon swept away . tj-p ] fl st two years. Tho Ciuir..iiA.N' did not think their loeeca h«d g"00 t0 an oxtent that would ntat the position of tho Company. Tho Sorl felt confident of an early S o for tho better. Out of 30 fompanies only i had mado any proiit HuriDg the past year in underwriting. Their own lots last year had been £20,000, hut with such resources as thoy hud in nc ° -nlated profits they were justified in de- Ca dividend. Their bad debts wore actively nil. The directors had been dome their very beat in tho way of restrain r jffents and in compelling them not to Lfwide of their instructions. So far us tho too-ready payment of clnims was concerned, [, 8 wished the shareholders to remember that when Insurance Companies went into tho Courts to contest claims, tho jurios eßera lly looked with a very favourable, oyo upontheelaimants.and nnlcss tho Company had a very strong case, it. was consequently nouseraeortins to litigation. Out of the balance of £13,000 carried forward from last year-, £12,000 had already been paid away in the form of a dividend. MrßAßsrow, in roferonco to Mr Goldio's rt markß about tho wisdom of writing-down £11,000 for increased value of investments, maintained the fairness of this courso. pco jocr that in time of depression largo sums were frequently written off for decroasod values of investments. jIrGOLDiE retorted that such a course in volved anjannual valuation of nroporty, and remarked that noxt year tho ground D ow written down for increased value might, in consequence of continued dopie? eion, have to bo written off for docreased value, They had worked the past year at a loss, and their dividend had been paid out of the previous year's profits. Mr S. E. Hughes, sen., stoutly opposed the payment of a dividend this year, inns mocn as ho did not see any chance of the depression ending so soon as was anticipated. He found with tho classifica tion of risks, seeing no equality between the risk over a brick or a stone building snd that over tho stock it contained. Tho premium for insurance over a draper's or milliner's stock, whether displayed in a brick or stone building, should bo much greater tuan that for insurance over a wooden dwelling, seeing that a mero spark often served in a few momonte to consumo valuable goods. In conclusion, ho moved that so dividends should bo paid on thin occasion.

Mr EuciN seconded,

The amendment was promptly rejected, only tho proposer and seconder voting for it.

The Chairman explained that for the last 18 months the manager and himself had been endeavouring to "arrange n classifi cation between stocks and buildings similar to that suggested by Mr Hughoe, and that they had only recently been able to affect fl change in that direction. Mr Kaipu Keesino suggested that the Company might do with less oxtra"ngant office accommodation, and add to the in come by letting as much aa possible of their premises here and elseweere. £1,000 per annum might be Bayed in Auckland alone in this way.

The Chairman replied that tho matter had been undor the consideration of the manager and himself, and that steps wore about to be taken for the purpose of letting a portion of the Queen-street frontage. In Wellington also a similar saving was being effected.

The motion was then put and carried. Upon the motion of Mr Eliun, seconded by Mr Nanoabrow, tho retiring directors (tors Baretow and Thomas Morrin) were re-elected, and they duly returned thanks lor this renewed expression of confidence. Mr R, Beck proposed the ra-election of the auditors.

This proposition was seconded by Mr Thomas Mimetti and carried.

Mr S. E. Huoaig, sen., proposed, and Mr RiLra Kikino seconded, a vote of thanks to the directors, manager, officers, and agents, Tho motioD passed nem, con,, and the CniißMix and Mr Geoiuik Johnston (General Manager) neatly acknowledged the compliment, the lattor gentleman responding for himself and the officers nnd agents.

Thß scroll minutes wero then read, and the meeting dissolved.
