Examined and approved by the Auditor, May 18, 1SS5. 



The secretary in concluding his report says, "In addi- 

 tion to the acciiinulations of former years which it has 

 been impossible to arrange on the shelves for Avant of 

 room, there have been added since the last annual meet- 

 ing, many books and a great collection of pamphlets, 

 to say nothing of the large amount of printed matter, 

 such as circulars, notices, etc. The subject of increased 

 accommodations is, it is true, an old story, but as donations 

 continue to How into the building the necessity of more 

 shelf-room forces itself on the attention of the officers 

 of the Institute and those who frequent the library. The 

 subject is again brought to the attention of the directors 

 in the hope that before another year shall have passed, 

 some decided action in this direction will be taken."
