During the past year the mortgage on our building has decreased 

 by five thousand dollars ; the income from halls and stores has 

 been increased. Alterations in some of the stores have been made 

 and leases effected which will materially add to the future income 

 of the Society. Of the cost of said alterations about $4,000 

 remain to be paid for during 1889.
