GENERAL TREASURER'S ACCOUNT 



July 1, 1925, to June 30, 1926. 



NOTE. 



Special arrangements in connection with the Oxford Meeting led to 

 the payment of an unusually large number of membership subscriptions 

 in advance. The total of the sums on account of these items amounts to 

 £1,666 10s. ; last year under normal working the corresponding sum was 

 £339 10s. This difference of £1,327 accounts for the £1,327 2s. 8d. 

 stated as ' excess of income over expenditure.' 



Again, in order to meet, however inadequately, the applications for 

 grants to Research Committees received at Southampton, the Council had 

 to utilise the accumulations of income in the Caird Fund, and draw on that 

 fund to the extent of £185 above the year's income. 



Thus, apart from the excess pre-payments above referred to and the 

 utilisation of the Caird accumulation, the year's working shows a 

 deficiency of £185.
