Section 9:-

Paragraph 3 states that portions of the

deposits may be withdrawn from time to time on satisfying

the Registrar that the amount of the securities left on

deposit equals in value "the amount of the monies insured"

by the policies outstanding. This can only mean equal to

the face value of the policies, which is an impossibility.

The most that can be asked is that the deposit shall equal

the Reserve value of such policies.

This is but one example of the crude and

non-actuarial manner in which certain portions of the

ordinance have been framed.

It imposes a fixed Standard of Solvency.

It provides that any company that fails to

pass this test shall be wound up on the

application of one or more policy holders.

The Standard of Solvency laid down is

obsolete and inapplicable to local compani-

-es.

The subject of a fixed Standard of Solvency

I have already touched on in my remarks

above, and pointed out the inadvisability of

such a measure.

The provision which forces a weak company

into liquidation upon the petition of one or

two dissatisfied policy holders is most un-

large number of policy holders.

Apart from the fact that it gives a weak

company no opportunity of recovering it- -self and placing itself on a sound basis

or of being transferred to a stronger

company without loss to its policy holders,
