He then dealt with the estimate of receipts and expenditure for the year 

 1913. They estimated that they would receive from Subscriptions for 1913 of 

 Governors and Members 8,1()0/., from Interest on Daily Balances 100/., from 

 Interest on Investments 1,270/., and from Sales of Text Book, Pamphlets, &c., 

 270Z., making a total of 9,800/. The expenditure they estimated as follows : — 

 Salary of Secretary and Official Staff, 1,586/. ; Pensions to Officials. 140/. ; 

 Rent, Lighting, Cleaning, Wages, \c. (say) 720/. ; Printing and Stationery, 

 550/. ; Postage and Telegrams, 200/. ; Miscellaneous, 400/. ; Journal, 880/. ; 

 Chemical Department, 750/. ; Botanical Department, 250/. ; Zoological Depart- 

 ment, 200/. ; Veterinary Department, 400/. ; Examinations for National 

 Diplomas, 200/. ; Contributions from Subscriptions to Show Fund, 2,500/. ; 

 giving a total estimated ordinary expenditure of 8,776/. 



Under the head of exceptional expenditure they thought that the Tubercu- 

 losis Experiment at Woburn, which would terminate this year, would cost 

 150/., and if it did not exceed that figure they would be within the limit of 

 80()/. which the Council voted three years ago for the purpose of the experi- 

 ment. He had been told by the Chairman of the Implement Committee that 

 the Trials of Milking Machines would cost 400/., the entries having been more 

 numerous than was first expected. For the Library Catalogue and Binding 

 Books 25/. had been allowed. Under the heading of contribution to the 

 British Overseas Section he a«ked them to vote 100/. He then read a few lines 

 of a letter received by Mr. McKow from the Bristol Committee, in which they 

 said they would like to bring before the Council the question of their making 

 a grant towards the overseas programme. As it would be advertising the 

 Bristol Show in Cana<la and other Dominions, he thought it advisable that the 

 Society should do as they had been asked. Then the time was approaching 

 when the Society must thoroughly clean the house, and they estimated that 

 this would cost 2ii0/. The total estimated expenditure was, therefore, 9,651/., 

 and they estimated that the credit balance of receipts over expenditure would 

 be 149/. at the end of the year.
