The Department of Privileges, under Chief Clerk Mitchell, 

 deserves a word of special commendation. This Department of 

 the Park has proved a very substantial source of income, and the 

 Committee desires to make special acknowledgment of the man-

Income Account. — The income received from Life Members 



during the year 1910, amounted to $3,200.00 



From Annual Members 14,010.00 



From Sustaining Members 3,140.00 



Total 20,350.00 



The total amount expended and chargeable against this fund 

 amounted to $24,556.85, making a deficit of $4,206.85, which re- 

 duced the cash balance on hand at the end of the year to the 

 figure of $5,498.40. The income received from the Endowment 

 Fund, which will accrue during the year 1911, will provide suf- 

 ficient additional funds to wipe out any deficit in this fund for 

 1911. With this additional resource the necessity of placing the 

 fees for Life Memberships in this fund has ceased, and on and 

 after January 1, 1911, fees received from Life Memberships will 

 be credited to the Endowment Fund. 



The Sustaining Memberships have three years more to run, 

 and it is hoped by that time that the income from the Endowment 

 Fund will be sufiiciently large to do away with the necessity of 

 such special subscriptions. 



From now on your Committee expects the Income Account 

 to be sufficient, with strict economy, to carry on the general work 

 of the Society, but until a much larger Endowment Fund is pro-
