 the exception of $300 was paid in 

 during 1916, the balance being now 

 in the hands of the Treasurer. It 

 will be seen, therefore, that with the 

 heavy increase of receipts of member-

 due to a keener interest in the As- 

 sociation's work, the total of rev-

 $2736.70, not including $300 sub- 

 scribed in the year but paid at the 

 beginning of 1917.

 Boards of Trade and other societies
