Some of this work is done Jate in the month of July, which I consider too late for street or road repaiting. But this is not the worst feature in the Act. ‘There is iu Georgetown,, as. well as other parts of the Island, a number of persons who are never willing to perform statute labor or pay their road tax—and the Overseer lias not the slightest power, by the present Act, to

And in many cases, parties sent by the Supervisor at this late season go on to the street sides for this wet material, where money has been expended by the Assessors in the earlier part of the year, thereby defacing the streets and leayizg them in @ worse state than they found them.

The Union Mutual Life Insurance . Company.

GRATIFYINU PROGRESS OF LIF INSURANCE ON SOUND, WELL TRIED PRINCIPLES.

Daring the past five years the cash assets of this popular and substantial Eastern Life company have nearly doubled. Jn ite January statement, the Unicom Mutual shows total assets of $6,119,547, of which no less than $700,900 ‘is policy holders’ surplus, by the legal standard of the state of New York. Here is certainly margin enongh to suit the most fastidiows or timid policy holder. And the figures prove con- clusively that no contingency whatever attaches to the absolute security of. all who are fortunate enough to hold a Union Mutual policy: Dar- ing 1885 the company paid its policy hold- ers $819,677 for death claims, matured and discounted endowments, surrendered _poli- cies and dividends. And since its organiz- ation, the Union Mutual Life has paid to its policy-holders the enormous aggregate of $21,653,156. Obviously, this is a record to be proud of and deserving of special mention as indicating exceptionally liberal treatment to this company’s patrons and members. The year 1886 opens most encouragingly for the Union Mutual, show- ing au advance in business which, for Janu- ary and February, is the largest, for those two months, of any January and February during the ten years the present manage- ment, under Johu E. DeWitt, has admin- istered the company’s affairs, The record ia as follows, of the new policy issues.
