of the Max Miiller Memorial Fund, and a sum of Rs. 60 has been paid 

 to Messrs. Johnston and Hoffmann for preparing an enlarged photograph 

 of the late Mr. JE. Blyth for the Society. 



There has been an expenditure of Rs. 1,150 under the head "Library 

 Catalogue." Out of Rs. 1,100 budgetted for the Society's Library Cata- 

 logue, Rs. 800 has been paid to Mr. H. B. Perie in full settlement of the 

 compiler's remuneration, the remainder has been paid to the assistant 

 who is revising the Catalogue. 



The Budget Estimate of probable Ordinary Receipts and Expendi- 

 ture for 1903 has been fixed as follows : Receipts Rs. 18,500, Expendi- 

 ture Rs. 16,949-4-0. 



On the Receipts side the estimated income under the head " Interest 

 on Investments " has been increased by Rs. 100 on account of the interest 

 on Temporary Investments. "Rent of Rooms" shows an increase. 

 This is due to the Photographic Society of India being charged an in- 

 creased rent of Rs. 25 per month. 



" Sale of Publications " has been reduced by Rs. 100, taking into 

 account the sale of last year. 



On the Expenditure side, the changes in last year's estimate are 

 small. " Lighting " has been increased by Rs. 40 to meet gas bills un- 

 paid last year. During last year the servants of the Society have been 

 supplied with cold weather uniforms and to meet this bill an extra sum 

 of Rs. 100 has been budgetted for under the head " Contingencies." 



The item of " Postage " has been reduced by Rs. 50, as the expendi- 

 ture of last year has been smaller than usual. 



There will, however, be three Extraordinary items of expenditure to 

 be dealt with during the year 1903. Rupees 1,000 has been budgetted for 

 under the head " Library Catalogue." This includes the pay of the 

 assistant who is revising the Library Catalogue and other expenses that 

 may be incurred in connection therewith. It is contemplated to fit the 

 Society's rooms with electric lights and fans at an approximate cost of 

 Rs. 2,500. As the Council propose to purchase a considerable number of 

 new books for the Society's library, a sum of Rs. 2,000 has been allotted 

 for the purpose in addition to Rs. 2,000 budgetted for under the head 

 " Books." During the past two years comparatively few new books have 

 been purchased for the Library.
