THOSE WHO MAY VOTE There seems to be confusion in the minds of many as to who may vote at the election tomorrow. The requirements were stated in the advertisement that was published by the city. Any person eligible to Vote for mayor and aldermen may also vote on this plebiscite. This includes any registered property owners in the city, and also any householder or Hcenseholder who pays a tax and who has registered at the propei4 time as a voter. The list of voters may be seen at the city ball and only those on the list may vote. This will be the last opportunity to state the case for or against a change of policing.

If this tendency has been in stealer evidence in periods of special prosperity, it Is, perhaps natural that the trying conditions of the past two years. should Cause people to! : realize the old primary values on which life insurance Is based. Dur j Ing a time when all forms tI busl-j ness suffered severely and rilanyi iuccurnbed, life insurance nasi withstood every ttraln; and hesj justified every claim. Not a single I company oh Hits continent nasi failed to meet every demand, even! though these demands were un-I usually heavy.

Allfa051 $16,504.24 we wish to say now is that all those in favor of the change vll be out to vote. Not one will be missed. On the other side there is great laxity of interest. They are the people who are not affected by police except when their sons or their daughters get into trouble. No police system is perfect and nobody claims that the provincial police system has been on unqualified success. All that can be said is that it is better than the other. It is far ahead of the system which obtained years ago and wei strongiy-urge local people not to take a backward, step by reversion to former conditions. Price 50c a box So Skirl 0!

I think vou will agree with me that for a year such as that through which we have fust passed the showing is a remarkably fine one. .jNcw assurances of over $527,000,000, and a total in force exceeding $3,000,000,000, are figarer -so great as to seed no emphasis. ... "The distribution of our new business is interesting, Canada contributed $101,000,000, United States $2ll 000.000, Great Britain $S0,U0O,Ot)t) and the rest of the world $85,000,000. Our mortality experience has been even more fnour-able than that of last year, the claims being but M.3 per cent, of the expected, against $7.6 per cent, in 1930. "Since business wms commenced in 1871 we have paid out in benefits $594,000,000. Last year alone our payments were $93,000,000, an amount exceeding the total assurances written in 1922. We may well rejoice over the magnitude and importance of the social service which the Company is performing. "During the past year life assurance has been tested as perhaps never before, and it ha withstood the trial triumphantly. So far as I am aware not one life company on the continent has had to close iu doors, a wonderful record. In Canada we can claim with pride that even siocc Confederation not one Dominion licensed company has ever failed. "It will be noticed that in addition to the surplus of $16,000,000 over all liabilities and capital stock, we have a contingency reserve of 14,700,000 to provide for possible shrinkage in mortgages and other real estate investments. Our reserves have been calcwlttetl oo the same strong basis as last yeah Although our investments fttyable in American currency greatly exceed oar lubtti-ties in that currency, we have treated both as oo a par taking no credit for the premium on Amtrcaa, sands. Oar liabilities under contracts in other currencies also are included at a total greater than required at the pre ratling rates of eichange. "Our holdings of stocks have been valued on the basis hid flown by the Dominion Department of Insurance, which is practically the same as that -adopted fur all companies by the National Convcatioa w Insurance Commissioners of the United Sates. "In new investments we have favoured nigh grade bonds, the yield on which is new very attractive. Our purchases of Canadian Government bonds during the year amounted to $23,000,000. The profits paid or allotted to policyholders amounted to over $26,000,000, or over 20 per cent, of the total annual premium income. "In the light of these figures, the report is indeed an excellent one. "And what of the future? No one believes that de depression will last for ever. It is impossible to siv just when the turn will come, but with the vast natural resources of this continent, and the -brains, eoefgr, and actual weilth of its people, business recovery is inevitable. When prosperity does return no company will share In Its benefits in greater measure than our own." irrm iki PnuJrnl'i .KJJrta t llf Anl MiC SIXTY-ONE YEARS OF SERVICE SUN LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY OF CANADA Northctti British Columbia Representative Prince Rupert Twenty Years Ago tn frlnce Rupert February 16, 1S1Z The identity has not Vet bei establlOied ot two vaunt men h. lleved lo be half-breeds, tm who wer .1... i . . . . m i luibti iiuutih ima uii nil iiwiitit n tti aii i l kik i . ,i " ' l'f v v ev jjvvs nilCIl UlCaT STTiail TOW- a- u .k. . . . , . ho atteatap to the elemet,. fatuity or aiy votm, on theiboat eapsteed hear Lawyer isd which only vn to change lo t wrohg side tor Us own best lhler- Light. i am a woman who has lived aver, ted. n,n. diu..n .l.j i , , twenty year, here n. afnln a po- it would be Inteteillng lo irnK .
