In addition to this, the time has now arrived when 

 the accommodation afforded to the Sub-Curator, Mr. 

 Denny, and his increasing family, is found to be alto- 

 gether inadequate either for their comfort or even health, 

 so that, even were the Council not anxious to afford to 

 so worthy and valuable an officer every proper domestic 

 convenience, the circumstances of the case would render 

 an enlargement of the house absolutely necessary. A 

 Plan has been kindly furnished by Mr. Chantrell, to 

 whom, as on former occasions, the Society is under obli- 

 gations for his gratuitous services, by which two addi- 

 tional rooms may be added to the house. These, toge- 

 ther with some necessary alterations incidental to the re- 

 ception of the Museum of the West-Riding Geological 

 and Polytechnic Society, will require an expenditure of 

 about £100. 



It will be known to most of the Members, that the 

 Debt upon the Proprietary Account was originally only 

 £200, and arose from two shares being unappropriated, 

 which, by accumulating at compound interest, has now 

 become more than doubled. 



For the purpose of paying off the Proprietary and 

 Ordinary Debt, as well as the expenses of the altera- 

 tions before alluded to, it is proposed immediately to 

 originate a Subscription, which, by a little effort, will 

 doubtless place the Society in a satisfactory position.
