FISCAL REPORT 



During the fiscal year 1947, $16,095.88 was available, none of which 

 was appropriated by Congress. Of this amount, $13,140.29 was spent, 

 leaving on hand $2,955.59 to begin the new fiscal year. In addition to 

 this, $3,183.96 is still on deposit, representing local collections, a total 

 of $6,139.55, to which will be added the few table subscriptions, an 

 amount inadequate to take care of running expenses. 



During the year $4,403.96 was collected as fees from scientists for 

 board and lodging, fees from visitors, and similar items. It is hard 

 to say how much will be collected during the 1948 fiscal year, but it is 

 almost certain that it will not be sufficient to carry us through the year.
