Your Council are glad to report that the financial position of the 

 Institute is most satisfactory, the debit balance which has appeared in 

 the statements of the last few years having been at length wiped out. 

 The number on the roll is 100, but, as several of these have now resigned, 

 it is desirable that an effort be made to increase the membership. 



The Council are glad to report that a catalogue of the library has 

 been x^repared and printed, and may be obtained by members. The 

 library has been thoroughly overhauled and rearranged, and is now in an 

 exceedingly satisfactory condition.

 and the expenditure £88 3s. 3d. The total assets of the Institute are 

 valued at £781 4s. 8d.
