REPORT BY THE HON. TREASURER FOR THE TWO 

 YEARS 1901-0 J AND 190.' -03. 



It had been the desire of the Hon. Treasurer to pre.sent a com- 

 plete financial statement of the Association's affairs for the whole 

 of South Africa, but he has been unable for various reasons to 

 obtain the necessary data from the Johannesburg Branch, and a 

 separate statement is attached dealing with the affairs of that 

 Branch. 



Froim this it would appear that there were 69 members for the 

 year 1901-02 and 336 members for 1902-03, and in addition 3 life 

 members. 



The unpaid subscriptions are given as ;^i^ for the first year 

 and ^76 los. for the second year; total, ^Sg los. 



The expenditure is ;£229 14.S. lod., and this is covered by 

 vouchers, which were examined and certified as correct by Mr. Pym 

 the auditor. 



As, however, the figures given of the membership do not tally 

 with our records here, the Hon. Treasurer has thought it advisable 

 not to incorporate the statement submitted with that for the Ca[)e 

 Colony and Rhodesia, but to print it as it stands and endeavour to 

 obtain the final and correct number during the current year, and 

 present a complete statement at the termination thereof in connec- 

 tion with the next annual report. 



As regards the membership f(jr Cape Colony and Rhode.sia, it 

 has now been finally settled that this amounts to 211 (which in- 

 cludes 2 life members) for the year 1901-02. and all these members 

 are to be considered foundation members. 



For the year 1902-03 the membership was 408, of which 5 were 

 life members. 



The associates for the \ear number 39. 



With regard to the unsatisfactory fact of so many subscriptions 

 being still outstanding for 1901-02. the Hon. Treasurer would 

 suggest that a definite term be set for the payment of these, and 

 that on expiry of such term the names of the defaulters be stru'^k 

 off the list of membership. 



In most cases four reminders have been sent to members in 

 arrears without eliciting anv reply. 



W. WESTHOFEN, 



Hon. Treasurer
