Permanent Irreducible Funds. 

 The Society has several distinct funds which are required to be kept separate 

 on the books, and can not be reduced in amount. 



1. The Subscription Building Fund was created some years ago by certain mem. 

 bers who agreed to make annual payments for five years. The whole amount paid 

 in was $705, Avhich has accumulated by constantly adding the interest, until it is 

 now nearly SI. 000. This fund is under the control, for building purposes, of those 

 members of the Society who contributed to it. 



2. There is a small Endowment Fund, consisting of $351.45, received from the old 

 Western Academy of Sciences, and a donation of $200 received from Mrs. Warren : 

 In all, 8551.45. This has to be kept invested, and the interest is applicable to the gen- 

 eral purposes of the Society.
