For 10/. the monthly contributions would be double the above, 
and so on in proportion for any sum up to 200/. 
A Redemption Table, showing the sum to be paid down at 
once, instead of monthly contributions, in order to entitle the 
person paying any of such sums or his or her nominee to secure 
an endowment of 5/. at the end of a stated number of years, need 
not be given here ; nor need a specimen of the Endowment 
policy be given. The latter will be of two kinds — one for 
" self," the other for " nominee." The rules relating to fines and 
forfeitures being the same as those in the case of sickness-pay 
and burial-money, should be printed on the back of the policy 
for Endowment insurance. 
Remuneration to Officers for their Services.

provided the 6th monthly contribution has been paid thereon. 
When an Endowment proposal has been accepted and the second 
monthly contribution paid, 3s. is to be paid to the officer, if the 
monthly contribution amounts to or exceeds that sum, and in 
every other case, the whole of the second monthly contribution. 
Annual allowances to be paid to the officers for receiving con- 
tributions of members and managing the business of their district 
as follows : — 
At the rate of 4 per cent, per annum upon the full amount of 
monthly contributions for sickness, burial-money and old-age- 
pay. At the same rate for endowments, but so that no percentage 
to the officer for any one endowment shall exceed '6s. 
The medical fee for passing members for labourers' Benefit 
Societies is usually a shilling. In some cases half-a-crown is 
charged, which is paid by the proposer. The same custom of 
leaving the proposer to pay for the medical certificate should be 
observed by the Post-Office for the present. 
It is necessary to provide for the expenses of the management, 
for which purpose the following rule will be useful : — 
All moneys received by means of legacies, donations, grants,
