REPORT OF THE TREASURER. 



The Treasurer of the Worcester County Horticultural Society 

 submits his annual report for the year ending November 2, 

 1894. 



While the receipts from the stores are more than last year, 

 the amount received for rent of Hall has been considerably 

 less, owing without doubt to the very general depression of 

 business. 



The insurance on the building and contents, having expired 

 within the past few months, it has been renewed for a larger 

 sum, for a term of three years, at an expense of $1,269.90. Owing 

 to this expense, we have been able to reduce the permanent loan 

 but $500 ; it is hoped, however, that the general business of the 

 city for the. next year, may be so much improved that the 

 receipts from rent of the hall may be enough to warrant a large 

 reduction. 



The F. H. Dewey Fund is now one thousand dollars, the in- 

 come that had accrued having been applied to the purchase of 

 boolvs and periodicals as was intended by its founder. The 

 permanent debt, secured by mortgage on the property of the 

 Society, is $13,900.
