The Budget Estimate for 1896 was taken at the following figures : — 

 Receipts Rs. 16,420 ; Expenditure Rs. 16,042. 



The actual results were found to be — Receipts, Rs. 18,448-7-9 ;

The receipts show an increase of Rs. 2,028-7-9, while the expendi- 

 ture shows a decrease of Rs. 5,049-3-4 on the Budget Estimate. 



There is an increase in Receipts under the heads of " Subscriptions," 

 " Interest on Investments, " Rent of Rooms," and " Miscellaneous." 

 ** Subscriptions " were estimated at Rs. 7,000, while the actuals were 

 Rs. 7,729, the excess being due to some of the arrear subscriptions from 

 members having been realized. Owing to the unexpected sale of the 

 Society's publications, " Sale of Publications " shows an increase of 

 Rs. 649-3-6. During the year temporary Investments were made and 

 there is thus an increase of Rs. 327-8-0 under the head of " Interest on 

 Investments." " Rent of Rooms " shows an increase of Rs. 100. This 

 is due to an additional room with an adjoining small room being leased 

 to the Photographic Society of India. " Miscellaneous Receipts " were 

 .estimated at Rs. 100, whilst the actual receipts were Rs. 322-12-3. The 

 difference is explained by the fact that a donation of Rs 250 was received 

 from His Highness the Maharaja Scindia, for the printing of certain 

 plates in the Society's Journal, Part I. 



On the Expenditure side the items of " Commission," " Lighting," 

 " Contingencies," *' Binding," and " Journal, Part I " show an increase.

 is an increase of Rs. 48-5-6 under the head of " Commission." " Light- 

 ing " shows a very slight increase. The amount budgetted for under 

 the head of Contingencies has been exceeded by Rs. 110-1-10. This is due 

 to providing the Jamadar and the Durwan with new clothing for the
