Beaton, president of the National Life Assurance Company of Canada, in presenting the 36th annual statement of the company to shareholders and policyholders at the annual meeting held on January 1l6th, 1935. Total inâ€" surance in force at December 31st, 1934, was $55,537,210, while insurance newly written, or revived, during the year amscunted to $9,140,896, over 11 p.C. greater than that of 1933.

Total reserves, computed on the Government standard, amounted to $9,801,519, an increase over the $9,706.581, shown at the end of 1933. Mr. Beaton states: "Investment reserves have been maintained, and as an additional precautionary measure, no credit has been taken by the comâ€" pany for overdue iinterest but unâ€" doubtedly with improving economic conditions most of this will ultimately be recovered." Investment in Government, municiâ€" pal and other bonds carried at bcok valuesis given at $7,674,229 while cash amounts to $607,147 and policy loans show some decline at $2,160,461, a wholesome indication of improving conditions.
