In conclusion we desire to record our appreciation of the services rendered to us by our Secretary, Mr. M. B. Knowles, F.I.A., of the Government Actuary’s Department. It has been necessary in the course of our work to require the preparation of a large number of memoranda, many of them dealing with technical questions of great intricacy. We have profited alike by Mr. Knowles’s knowledge of the subject and by his willingness to undertake every task we have placed upon him. We are, My Lord, Your obedient Servants, Arrrep W.
