166 PROCEEDINGS. 



In conclusion, the Committee beg leave to state, that the Legacy of the late Theodore 

 Lyman has been invested, as they believe, in sound interest-paying Stocks, sure to yield 

 at least six per cent ; and that the Bradlee Fund has been filled and permanently located, 

 agreeably to the original design of the donor. In the valuation of the property of the 

 Society, the estimates of fixtures, furniture, &c., have been somewhat reduced, but the 

 real estate, considering the repairs and improvements of the last year, is probably more 

 valuable than at any former period. All of virhich is respectfully submitted, by
