It represents merely a new safe which cost some $1,100 and the necessity for which in a business like ours is obvious. We have gone carefully over all our Joans on mortgages and are quite satisfied with them all. The general rise in value of Real Estate which has taken place during the year bas of course strengthened our position, over and above that do not forget that the margin on them increases with every monthly payment. As regards the result of the year's working I am sure your will all agree with me that we should be well content with it, especially considering bow we have been hampered for want of sufficient funds. This question of obtaining futher funds bas now become a very urgent one for, as you see, practically the whole of our Capital of $500,0on is now placed in Provident loans, leaving us nothing available for ordinary advances on goods, etc. for which there are always heavy demands on us. This is a good and remunerative part of our business, but we cannot retain our holl of it if we have to say "No" every time to our customers as we are doing at present.
