POLICIES BUBTAINED OUT OF SURRENDER VALUE. Ten years have now elapsod since tho liboral regulation of sustaining Policies, which had boon i suffered to become overdue out of the surrender value, was introduced into the practice of tho Society. Tho value of this regulation will be best appreciated by Iho statementof tho extent i to which it has been availed of during tho 10 ; yenrß. Tho following summary will show the operations of this period :— 1 . * i Total Policies overdue and sustained out of the surrender value 22,980 £ I No. reinstated 18.587 . No. forfeited 1.125 . No. surrendered 32 . No.dead 108 ,' No. matured 10 19,802 No. overdue and kept jn force at 31st Dec, 1883 3,U8 Difficult as it'ls to estimate tho benefit of this ] regulation to the families of the 108 uolicy -1 holders whose claims havo been paid, it is still • more difficult to say what advantage has ! accrued to the Society by the retention of the 1 18,587 policies reinstated, the forfeiture of which would probably havo made of their ' holders avowed enemies, airing what they con sidered substantial grievances, and spreading discontent whorover their complaints woro heard. Owingtotheprivilegewblohhasbeenex tended to Ihem, the Society hag secured their goodwill, and has doubtless experienced the beneficial influence of their advocacy. Among the improvements which in late years have been introduced into the practice of Life Assurance, this one must be considered to occupy a pre - eminent position. It may not be out of place to add that no difficulty or inconvenience is ex perienced in the practical application of this regulation. Tho method adopted enables mem bers whose premiums become overdue to payur one or more of the overdue instalments at anj timo, and thus gradually to get rid of their in dobtedness." ~ Forms of proposal may bo had upon written oi personal application to the District Office Qneen-Btreet, or from any of the Society's Can vnssers. „ _ „ _, __, • D.

fmORTH READING! WORTH THINKING ABOUT 11 ORAM'S HOTEL (Lato Prince Arthur Hotel, and tho Retrospective), HOBSON AND WELLESLEY-STREETS, AUCKLAND. TO THE INHABITANTS OF AUCKLAND AND TRAVELLING PUBLIC. Lambs and Gentlemen,—Sinco my two last advertisements were isaued, when I had tho honour of drawing your attention in tho first lnstnnco to the ERECTION OF THE FIRST PART OF THE HOTEL, and in tho second instance tho recognition of your patronage, the success so far financially of tho Hotel, tho hope of a further extension of your favours, and in dicating tho future prospects and improvements of tho City of Auokland, sinco and Including thoso periods throo and a half years have rolled away. Tho Proprietor hopes the shortcomings—the litilo deficiencies of management, and the in ability of not accommodating all that camo to the Hotel, havo gone with it But whatever has boen, or what may bo, let us hope tho year '85 will reveal, and be the forerunner of many years of success and prosperity for those who may try for it. Tho rotroapect of a man's lifo—his business, the town in which ho lives, or even the world which holds them both—may or may not be plea sant to contemplate, yet its reminiscences can bo Used as guiding posts for all future actions. The physical aspect of Auckland city and its siirroundinKshasfortho better changedao rapidly to tho astonishment of all, and unaccountably so even to its oldcat Inhabitants. With them in the perspective it is positive. The old suburbs absorbed by the city: new suburbs formed; now streets made ; buildings erected that would do credit to the older cities of tho world—all of thia newly-created power is but the result of Nature's bountiful gifts: without it, man's utilitarian proclivities in many respects would bo useless. True thonamongsttho manybuildingimprove ments in the City, hotel accommodation is the most conspicuous, and without presumption it may bo mentioned ORAM'S HOTEL stands pre-eminoiitly tho best In Auckland. According to tho original design, the Hotel lias advancod one stage further towards its Inal completion. The now addition with its Hydraulic Passongor and Luggago Lift is nearly comploted, a description of which, with tho wholo Block, will be given in another Advertisement At present the Proprietor would wish to draw the attention of tho public to tho almost insur mountable obstacles an Hotel like ORAM'S (or in proportion much larger houses) have to over come if it is to bo successful In ovory respect md become established and gain tlio confidence 3f its patrons. In tho large cltios of tho world how oft and unfortunate It is wo find Promoters oreetiag colossal edifices'with their gorgeous appoint ments and costly conveniences, surpassing In magnificence our kingly palaces ana oriental splendour, the wonder and talk of travellers, tho prido and pleasure of their cities, commencing their career on a road of famo, with bright prospects for future buc coss, bo soon to reallso tho position of an unpay able concern. And why is this? Not because tho management is not good. In Great Britain hotels have some of tho best and smartest t adesmen In tho communities to supervise them. In America the general belief i* Bomo of tho best commercial men tboy have arc thoae who run their Hotels. On the Continent of Europe Hotelkeepers surpass oven these for precise management, thoir unlimited attentive noss, and the happy knack of supplying every little want to their visiters. Again, th'cso large Hotels in their different countries have, too, the advantages of liberal LiccnsingLnws. They have night licenses to receive visitors. Visit*, a can roooive their friends in Public Apartments every dny in tho week, night or day, without having tho quibblo (if wanted) ot a Licensing Act thrown in their faces. The Hotels are not compelled to light the Btroets of the City by night; tho respective Corporations do that for their citizens. Tho polico do not patrol its halls md passages; tho State have faith in their good insnngomont. But with all this in thoir favour—thoso stupenduous structures, rearing their hoads aloft in all the powerful grandeur of well-to-do tm ding concerns, are but sorry investments after all. Again, Why is this 1 Becauso they have not what ORAM'S HOTEL lias always oudeavourod to cultivate, a good LOCAL TRADE. A House liko ORAM'S is as much a necessity for one class of cußtoulers as the other. To tho Local Public it is a guarantee the Winos, Spirits, Ales, &c„ will bo sound, good, and gonuine. A proof of this-the many ardors supplied by-ORAM for Brandios, &c„ la Medical Comforts. Tho importance of ono cl&bs of ORAM'S TRADE iuiist? mako tho good conduct of the ather part unquestionable. Yot the Proprietor is afraid this isbutllttlo considered by a groat many of tho people. Lot it bo assumed thon. if large Family Hotels In tho oldor World, existing under such ltboral licensing laws, having encouragements from their respective Governments, do find them selves weighed down by their own onormous expenses that thoy baroly oxlst, what a struggle must It bo then for hotels of the same class, say horo in Auckland, with comparatively the same cxponßce, governed by an arbitrary licensing law which knows no distinction— lovellcd up or down, whichever it may bo called, to ono class of Hotels. Tho proprietor of . ORAM'S HOTEL cannot but think tho advantages namod in the forogoing of these lines accordod to such Kamily and Commercial Houses in the Old World should bo given to the same class of Hotels in New Zealand, especially when the Management is willing to pay for thoso advantages. The aoxloty.hard work, long hours, and heavy rcsponßibity. bound up as they arc in the good, management of such costly establishments, havo but littlo sympathy and no encouragement shown them within or outside of their own Bphere. As a rule, aoting up to and abiding by the lawa which govern them, houses like Oram's Hotel has a Btrong fight to mako, and but a poor show against tho trickery of a debauched trade. Hoßiirdloßs, too, of the benefit they aro to the Towns (indeed, a much greater boneflt to tho Towns than to tho Proprloto s), and mindful of 'heir dignity, Hotels liko I'ram's must lay a motionless mass at the feet of party spirit, and realise party spirit to govern thorn. To this class of tho trade, then, such baa been tne rotrospect of its exiatet cc. And In conclusion it is the earnest wish that tho Proprietor of ORAM'd HOTEL shall some day realise tho fact this class of trade will live down the petty annoyancos and all uncharl tablenesa it is continually liable to. and will riso above the obstacles which surround it, nnd tho arbitrary power which tends to dobase it und that this moat difficult trade shall at no distant timo be pointed out with respect as ono of the principal amongst so many commercial enterprises which prop the financial systems of this world, and that tho Proprietor of ORAM'S HOTEL, endeavouring to givo every satisfaction, which lays in his Dowor, shall reallso the continued and ever increasing support in tlio future which has so liberally boon accorded to him in the past, is tho earnest wish of yours, Ladios and Gentlemen, obedient servant, IT ÜBERT ARAM, PROPRIETOR.
