In addition to the above expenditures, the Society has been com- 

 pelled to expend in temporary road making, drainage, etc., a con- 

 siderable sum from its Building Fund. These expenditures were 

 made very reluctantly, and only because they were absolutely 

 necessary in order that building materials might be hauled to the 

 buildings now in progress, and because the roads and sewers to be 

 constructed by the City are not yet ready for use.
