TREASURER'S REPORT. 



I am glad to tell you that the financial position of the Society 

 has greatly improved during the past year. 



The state of affairs when I commenced my stewardship last 

 January was not encouraging. Subscriptions had dwindled owing 

 to the War, the reserve funds of the Society had been utilised to 

 pay for publication ; and as we are all aware, expenses under this 

 head had enormously increased. Actually the cash balance that 

 was handed over to me by my predecessor at 31st December, 1918, 

 was 10s. lid., but in twelve months this has been so far improved, 

 by the efforts of the kind friends already referred to in the Council's 

 report and which resulted in a total of £95 12s. 6d. being raised, 

 that I have been able to carry forward to 1920 the very satisfactory 

 sum of £77 10s. Id. as representing the cash balance in hand, after 

 all liabilities have been met. 



Our income from current subscriptions for 1919 was £46 18s. 6d., 

 an increase of £6 10s. Od. over last year. This is sufficient to meet 

 the ordinary expenses of the Society, which amounted to 

 £42 4s. 7d., but not the cost of printing the " Proceedings." 



Publication in 1919 cost us £64 3s. Od. against £40 8s. 7d. in 

 1918 ; and it is obvious that we have a long way to go in the 

 matter of increased membership before income from subscriptions 

 and investments will meet all our needs.
