Well deserved trilsute was also paid to the memory of the late Richard lio.~chman. a direc- tor of the Company for many years, who passed away during the past twelve months. That the Waterloo Mutual continues to maintain its commanding position among the fire companies of the Dominion will be a source of much satisfaction to its many policyholders. These figures disclose the strong position in which the Company finds itself today due to the sound policy followed throughout the years of steadily accumulating a surplus fund which has been a source of growing strength to the Company and has materially assisted it in maintaining a position of leadership among the fire companies of the Dominion. The unveiling of an oil painting of the president. L. W. Shuh, who has well serypd the Company in various capacities tlusing"his long association with the Waterloo Mutual. was a fitting acknowledgment of his contribution to the Company's success as well as a recognition of the general esteem in which he is held by his associates and policyholders. The Company's total income from all sources was $56ci/.?.75.'.?.5 and the total expen- diture 8523,3.?.4.36 for the year, while the net amount of insurance now in force is S75,- Among the companies which have for years followed this commendable and wise poliey has been the Waterloo Mutual Fire Insurance Com- pany which, as evidenced by the annual report: submitted at the annual meeting on Saturday, is in a particularly favorable position. This out- standing and solidly established fire company closed the year 1930 with cash assets, including accrued interest, of $1,663,2tll.08, while the balance of cash assets over all liabilities is $1,349,650.40.

The mere suggestion, of course, will be heartily opposed by the service. At the present moment a general application is before the government for upward revision and the Beatty Commission is investigating it.
