The Society's indebtedness to Mount Auburn has been reduced by the 

 payment, at the commencement of this year, of $2,879.34, leaving a balance 

 of $6,129.15, which is to be immediately paid in full. 



No change has been made this year in the valuation of the Society's 

 property, the sale of which, although not yet completed, will show an 

 increase of more than twenty thousand dollars. 



The Committee cannot close this Report without bearing testimony to 

 the continued fidelity and valuable services of our Treasurer. It is now 

 ten years last June since Mr. Austin took charge of the funds of this 

 Society. How much he has saved for us during that time it would be 

 hard to tell, but we can all bear witness to his vigilant eye to our ex- 

 penses, and his steady, reliable devotion to the pecuniary interests of this 

 Society.
