February, 1917.] Annual Report. i N 



The receipts have fallen short of the estimate under the 

 following head : — 



Sale of Publications 



9 9 • • 



Rs. 

 452 



The expenditure for the year has amounted to Rs. 

 25,373-7 -2 or Rs. 1.351-7-2 in excess of the estimate. 



The Permanent Reserve Fund has been increased by 

 Rs. 800 from admission fees, and one compounding subscription. 

 and at the close of the year it stands at Rs. 1.67,000. 



The difference between the total estimated and actual 

 expenditure last year was more than accounted for by heavy ex- 

 penditure on publications. The sum of Rs. 3.005 that lias been 

 required to make good the difference between actual receipts 

 and expenditure has been met from our current account. 



The Budget Estimate of probable Receipts and Expendi- 

 ture for the vear 1917 is as follows : — 



Rs. Rs. 



Receipts . . 20,960 Ordinary Expenditure 23.253 



Extraordinary Expen- 

 diture . ..* 2.705 



Total . . 25,958 



The excess expenditure for which provision has to be made 

 this year, viz. Rs. 4,998, will be met by drawing on the Tem- 

 porary Reserve Fund, unless the income should prove larger 

 than anticipated. The financial position is, therefore, some- 

 what weaker than at the close of the preceding year.
