treasurer's report. 409 



The Finance Committee, on the 1st of January of this year, 

 commenced a new system of book-keeping, which clearly shows the 

 financial position of the Society, showing in detail the legacies 

 and donations received by the Society, and giving proper credit to 

 the generous donors, particulars of which will be found in the 

 Treasurer's statement. 



During the past year the sum of forty-nine hundred and twenty- 

 five dollars has been invested in Railroad Bonds for the Sinking 

 Fund, and one thousand dollars received from the estate of the 

 late Marshall P. Wilder has been invested in a Railroad Bond. 



GEORGE W. FOWLE, 



Treasurer.
