The balance brought forward from 1888 was £l04.S 

 13s. 2c?. This, added to the Income received in 1889 

 (£26,427 12^.), gave a total sum of £27,4/1 5s. 2d. 

 available for expenditure in the year 1889. Thus the 

 Council were enabled, after payment of the ordinary and 

 extraordinary expenditures of the year, not only to devote 

 the usual sum of £1000 to the reduction of the mortgage- 

 debt on the Society's freehold house (which now amounts 

 to £6000 only), but also to completely extinguish the 

 temporary loan had from the Society^s bankers in 1878. 

 After these several payments were made, a balance of 

 £1242 135. \\d. was left in the Society's favour and 

 carried forward for the benefit of the present year, being a 

 larger amount by £199 Os. 9d. than the balance brought 

 forward from 1888.
