[UMA-SRE-20120050] BOARD WEEKLY RETURN BOOKS, CHRONOLOGICAL SERIES

Description

IdentifierUMA-SRE-20120050Extent3 volsScope and ContentOriginal control number: NMLS 24.The first volume of the Board Weekly Return Books covers the period 31 May 1876 - 28 January 1880. The next extant volume has a label reading 'Board/Weekly Return Book/No 2/From 25th October 1882/to 9th May 1888" pasted on its cover; this label is early, if not original. Beside the volume covering the period 1880-1882, it is thought likely that, given the nature of the information contained in the Return Books, there are earlier volumes missing from the front-end of the series. The Books provide a weekly analysis of cheques issued, returns (ie funds), number of policies issued, amount insured, annual premiums, arrears of interest and instalments on loans and, in the first volume, notes on certain items in the arrears analysis. From 6th November 1878 a schedule is included summarising Branch performances with regard to number of policies, amount issued and annual premium, both for the week and progressively. The weekly returns are signed by Board Members until the 13th February 1889. The analysis of Branch performance started in 1878 accounts for the larger formats of volumes 2 and 3. Whereas, in the 1876 to 1880 volume, no special provision in the printing of the format had been made for such an analysis, in the subsequent volumes the schedule giving the summary is printed in a column titled 'New Business'.
