10. The Treasurer’s Balance Sheet for the year ending 
December 31, 1887, audited by two speciaily-qualified 
Members not on the Council, shows a balance creditor of 
£1. 8s. 6d. The amount invested in New Three per Cent. 
Annuities is £1,565. 18s. 9d. 
The Council desires to urge the great advantage it would 
be if Members would remit their Subscriptions during 
the first half of the year, as a large proportion already do. 
Were this the rule with all, the whole machinery of the 
Institute would work with an ease that would greatly 
add to its success. Forms for the payment of the Sub- 
scriptions through a banker are used by a large number, and 
may always be had. 
* Founded in 1865. The total number in 1871 was 200.
