FINANCE. 
The Council has already had occasion to remark that the finan- 
cial condition of the Society is satisfactory. The expenditure has 
been as much as possible kept within the estimated limits of the 
various items, regulated by the income. The actual income has 
exceeded the estimated income by Rs. 745, while at the same time 
a saving of Rs. 582 was effected in the estimated expenditure, 
thus making a total surplus of Rs. 1,327, which, added to the 
balance of Rs. 1,540,* left to the credit of the Society at the close of 
1869, makes a grand total of Rs. 2,867. The reserved funds of the 
Society in Government Securities, amounting to Bs. 2000, remained 
the same as in the previous year. 
The Council were anxious to secure this surplus for the benefit 
of the Society, because they expect that in a short time a consider- 
able outlay will be required for the repairs of the building, and 
they are equally alive to the necessity of increasing the amount, 
to be devoted for the proper accommodation and arrangement of 
the library, as soon as sufficient room for it can be obtained.
