EEPORT OF THE FLXANCE COMMITTEE. 



Massachusetts Horticultural Society,"? 

 January, 1867. ) 



The Finance Committee report, that in conformity with Article No. 17 

 of the By-Laws, they have examined the books and accounts of the 

 Treasurer, and find the same correct and properly vouched. 



The balance of cash on hand, .^"266.66, is on deposit to his credit at the 

 Tremont National Bank. They have also settled with the Proprietors 

 of the Mount Auburn Cemetery, and have received from them the sum 

 of §8,735.40, being the Society's proportion of the sales for the joiw 

 1866. They have, during the past year, exercised a constant supervision 

 over the property of the Society, and the acts of the Superintendent and 

 Treasurer. Since the By-Law uniting the two oflBces took eflect the 

 execution of the duties of the Committee has been very easy and pleas- 

 ant. As the Treasurer's report is so clear and full in its details, of the 

 transactions of the Society, for the past year, and of its present tinancial 

 position, the Committee deem it unnecessary to add thereto. They will 

 only say that the fidelity and zeal of the present incumbent seem to de- 

 serve the thanks of the Society, as they have certainly obtained the 

 warmest commendation of those who have officially been called upon to 

 notice them. 



Respectfully submitted, by 



JosiAii Stickney, y
