These represented a first class lot of seâ€" curities, many of them purchased at prices considerably below the preâ€" sent market values. The average| Income rate on the Company‘s bonds | at the end of the year was 6.38%%.‘ pany was in a position to show an increase in deposits and debentures for the year of over $100,000.. This, in his mind. was an indication of solidity and confidence by the pubâ€" lic in the Company. He did not think there was a better place for mrr)"ing on a loan and trust busiâ€" ness than in the county of Waterâ€" loo. Waterloo and Kitchener had excellent citizens, and the extended growth of the Company was eviâ€" dence of the substantia) worth and stanuing of the people in this comâ€" munity. The confidence already esâ€" tablished in the Waterloo County Loan and Savings Company should be of considerable assistance in the building up of a Trust business, and should the Company be in a position shortly to to handle such line of work, there should be considerable business to be obtained from our local community Short addresses were also by Mr. H. W. Shoemaker, Dr Hilliard of Kitchemer, and Mr Gundy of Toronto Mr. Wilson referred to the Trust Company‘ powers which the Comâ€" pany hoped shortly to obtain, which would â€" considerably broaden the basis of the Company‘s business and enable it to supply a much wider serâ€" vice to the pepple of this community. The Directors were also making arâ€" rangements to open up another branch. which it was hoped would. in time. add considerably more to the Company‘s business. After the Manager had dealt with | the statement, the President, Mr,; Thos. Hilliard. moved the adoption | of the report. and Mr. H. J. Sims ofg Kitchener seconded it. | Mr. Sims said that be felt particâ€" ularly pleased that notwithstanding the @tress of the times, the Comâ€" Mr. George Diebel of Waterloo complimented the Company on its success and erpressed the thought that their business would continue to grow most satisfactorily. The following shareholders were elected Directors for the curreft year: Thos. Hilliard, E. F. Seagtam, 8. B. Bricker, F. 8. Kumpf, W. L. Hilliard, Fred Halstead, H. J. Sims, J. M. Scully, Geo., D. Forbes, A. J. Kimmel, J. H. Gundy. The mortgage investments for the year were increased by over $80,000, consisting almost entirely of approvâ€" ed loans in Waterloo and Kitchener. Mr. Wilson stated that the Comâ€" pany‘s Ontario and Manitoba mortâ€" gage loans were in excellent shape, with practically mo arrears of interâ€" est. As regards the Company‘s farm loans in Saskatchewan, these had been carefully selected and were un der the supervision of one of the best farm loan valuators and inspecâ€" tors in the Province. While the crops of most of the farmers who held loams from the Company had been fairly satisfactory, the greatiy reduced selling value of the grain as compared to the high cost of proâ€" duction, left in many cases a very small margin, if any, of profit ava{iâ€" able for interest or other require: ments. This was a condition of afâ€" fairs which should in time e adjust ed as the cost of farm labor and proâ€" duction was reduced in proportion to the lower selling value of farm products. The Company‘s firm mortgages averaged about $2,000 each againast property valuations exceeding in nearly all cases three times the amount of the advances. The experience of a number of the larger Trust and Loan Companies in the Province, who during the perâ€" jod of over twenty years of farm loaning in sections of the West, bad never experienced a net loss during _ any one year, on such loans, was safficient to give faith in the future security of such business where operations have been confined to the better districts and to a select class of securities. At a subsequent meeting of the Directors, Mr. Thos. Hilliard was elected President and Mr. E. F. Seaâ€" pald the two haifâ€"yearly dividends of six per cent, amounting to §$39,â€" 268.30; the sum of $15,000 had been transferred to Reserve Account and the balance carried forward in Proâ€" fit and Loss. ram Viceâ€"President.
