Report of the House Committee. 



During the year the house has been occupied as usual, with the ex- 

 ception of the first floor. The building was abandoned on March 25th, 

 and has since been demolished. A temporary office has been secured. 



At the annual meeting, May 11, 1910, $1,200 was appropriated for 

 House expenses. In March, 1911, the Meeting-room chairs were sold 

 for .S35, making $1,235 for use during the year. 



Of this amount $1,182.07 has been expended, leaving a balance of 

 $52.93 toward the expenses of the coming year. 



The expenses of the coming year will not be great as heretofore, the 

 largest amount will be that of rent of the present office on Boylston 

 Street — $450, with a few incidentals.
