immediate adjustment of the rates of contributions may be postponed until the measures we have indicated shall have been tested by the experience of a few years. In conclusion, we would earnestly urge upon every member of this society to strive and master the principles on which the financial operations of societies can alone be conducted with safety, and, by so doing, assist in extending to the utmost their sphere of usefulness. The results of valuation of the several lodges, together with our reports thereon, will be forwarded to the lodge secretaries as early as possible. Tours truly and fraternally, Q-eobge Leslie, Peteb Black, Public Valuers under " The Friendly Societies Act, 1877 " Dunedin, 7th September, 1880.
