The Ontario body intended to raise $30,000 this year, to be used outside of Ontario, to attract tour-} ists. Fifty dollars of the grant ask- ed from the County Council would ! go towards this, but the remainder would be used to take care of the | | tourists while they were in Ontario The Kingston and District Associa- tion had taken over the manage- ment of the motor camp at Lake Ontario Park, he said, and they; would try to run it in such a way | as to induce tourists to stay several days In this district, instead of one, The council was also to appoint a representative to the Kingston and District Association. Mr. Wightman explained that the) city was issuing a booklet advertis- ing the County of Frontenac and! that this booklet would be distri- buted to all tourists at all ports of entry into Ontario. It would describe the City of Kingston and also lay stress on the scenery of the country. The warden promised that the coun- cil would give the request every con- sideration. When the report of the commit- tee named to strike the standing committees was presented by Coun- cillor 8ibbit, Councillor Flake, of Clarendon and Miller, suggested that the finance committee was perhips the most important, and that should be composed entirely of iy who have had previous county coun- cil experience. This view was not generally shared, however, and Councillor Kennedy remarked that the members of the committees were chosen for their fitness and that per- haps some of the new members were better qualified to act than some who had more experience. On motion of Councillors Sibbit and Spankie, the report as fublish- ed last evening, was adopted. ARMOUR IL J.

Macdonald, the general manager, noted the re- sults of the excellent crop in the west in heavier mortgage interest payments and stated that one of the chief needs of the country would appear to be a sound immigration policy whereby a reasonable number of good agricultural settlers may be secured and placed on The land. The very material increase in new business for the year, not only in Canada and Newfoundland but in Great Britain and in Cuba, Central America and the West Indies, is an evidence of the strong agency or- ganization of the company. The in- crease in all departments of the company's business is excellent and is outlined in their statement of the past five years record which appears on another page of this issue to-day. The company wrote ovér 40 millions of new business and their total busi- ness in forces at the end of 1925 was- over §206,000,000. The net revenue from premiums and annui- tiés totalled $8,530,053, and the net revenue from interest and rents mounted to $2,354,109. The sur- phis earned on the year's operations amounted to $1,526,001. The total assets of the company at December 81st, 1935, stood at $45,179,252. During the year there was paid to 'policyholders and beneficiaries in death claims, matured endowments, profits, and so forth, the sum of $4,- 094,239. The total amount held or paid to policyholders and beneficiar- fes amounted to $97,336,711. The investments of the company's trust funds have been carefully supervis- ed and during 'the years advantage was again taken of the opportunity to dispose .of short dated bonds yielding low rates of interest for re- investment in first-class securities 'ylelding higher rates of interest. The rate of interest earned for the year 'on the malin net ledger assets was 5.96 per cent. which is excellent un- der present conditions with falling rates of interest on ipvestments in all classes of securiti i The branch office of the company for Kingston/and = district is under the management of Mr. A. J. Meikle- john, with representatives of the company situated at all the main centres in the district. Mr. Charles BE.
