The Executive Committee desire to take this opportunity to 

 express their appreciation for these generous subscriptions. 



At the present writing the Executive Committee believe that 

 the maintenance allowance provided for both the Park and 

 Aquarium for 1921 will cover the cost of supplies and nearly all 

 of the salaries. Some of the officials of the Society are, how- 

 ever, not adequately recompensed for their long continued ser- 

 vice and the great skill used by them in keeping their institutions 

 at the present high standard of excellence. 



It was no small task to bring the Park and Aquarium 

 through the trying years of the war, and to keep the collections 

 properly supplied with food and heat, and the Society owes a 

 debt of gratitude to those who achieved these results. 



FINANCES. 



Bequest of Mrs. Russell Sage. — On May 14, 1920, the Ex- 

 ecutors of the Sage Estate turned over to the Society, in cash 

 and securities at market value, the sum of $500,000, less the 

 advancements with interest previously made to the Society, 

 amounting to $10,926.67.
