Substantial Increases in Every De. partment Mark the Opening Year of the Twentieth Century. THE IMPERIAL LIFE Another Most Succescful Year Added to the Com- pany’s Record. Toronto. January '21. â€"The annual meeting of the Imperial Life Assur- ance Company of Canada was held to.aay. its president, Hon. Sir Oliver Mowat, Lieutenant-Governor. in the chair A few das 3 ago at the open- ing of the legislature His Honor con- gratulated the province upon the abundant evidences of prosperity throughout the land. In his, presid- ential address today he stated that he had the gratification of congratul- ating the Imperial Life Assurance Company upon its marked and sub-‘ stamial progress. The report sub. mitted evidence that the company had again added another successful year to its unexcelled record. New life insurance applications. amount- ing to $3,974,000 were received. The number of policies issued exceeded that of any previous year. and the amount thereof was considerably in excess of that for 1900. The more important items in the sratement. compared with those for 1900. are as follows: 1. Total in- surance in force...... 2. 'l‘otalAs- sets... 3. Reserves on Policies and An- nuities. . . . 4. A n n 11 a1 1‘ re min 111 Income..... 5. Annual in come from Interest on In vest. mental. . . . . 6. Total All 11.1 income 7. leueflts Paid and accrued t0 Policy holders. . . . Concluding, Sir Oliver Mowat said: ' " A volume of new business, almostl $4,000,000, was transacted. which in- dicates that both the management and the agency staff have been \ery efficient. The fact that the number of applications rejected was unusual- ly large, and that the death losses haw. been less than were expemed, show that much care has been exer- cised by the medical department in! the selection of lives. The company’sl funds. now amounting to $1,339,804,: have been carefully invested by the executive, as attested by the fact; that the company has never losn a dollar through an investment: that no investment cause- the company the least anxiety and that the average rate of interest earned during 1901 was 5.39 per cent. The net addition was over $2,000,000 to the total as. surances increased that item to the $11,236,700 in force on December 31, 1901, and proves the satisfactory character of the business secured by the company. The method employed in determining the reserves is an in- dex that the directors are determined that the company’s motto: ” First and Paramountâ€"Absolute Security to Policyholders ” shall be a reality. I am, therefore, confidentally enabled to say, in moving the adoption of re- port. that all essentials to the Up- building of a strong. progressive and ' substantial company are embodied in i the Imperial Life.” i’l‘he First Vice-President, Mr. A. E. Ames, who followed. said: “ The Imperial’a progress would best. be gathered from the following compar- isons taken from recent. annual re- ports : Period. Insurance in force 1897 ........ 81 185 725 1898 ........ 4 169 125 1899 ........ 7 142 625 1900 ........ 9 226 350 1901 ........ 11 236 700 Period .Total income Premium Interest income income 3 32 399 $10 987 117 887 12 464 215 827 27 406 315 724 36 272 395 170 53 502 Assets Reserves for policies 1897 . 1901 These figures certainly indicate that the Imperial Life has made rapid and steady prOgress. In every one of the above six cardinal items each year shows a handsome advance, more especially with respect to Re- serves for Policies and Annuities.” Mr. Walter FerguSon has bad a bad attack of la grippe, but under the skilful treatment of Dr. Sneath is improving nicely.
