REPORT OF THE TliEASURRR. 



The Treasurer of the Worcester County Horticultural Society 

 presents his annual report, showing the receipts and disburse- 

 ments for the year ending November 1, 1897. 



The income derived from the rent of the Hall is about the 

 same as for the previous year. 



Fifteen hundred doUars has been paid on the mortgage loan of 

 the Society during the year, and but for the fact that the trustees 

 have authorized certain repairs and alterations in the building 

 still more would have been paid. It is confidently expected 

 that after the repairs have been made and paid for, there will be 

 a larger reduction in the debt for the coming years. 



The F. H. Dewey Fund is now $1081.80, having been in- 

 creased a little the past year by the accumulation of interest, no 

 charge having been made against it.
