  — 
  As 
  has 
  been 
  customary 
  for 
  several 
  years 
  the 
  

   financial

  have 
  been 
  carried 
  in 
  three 
  separate 
  

   accounts, 
  designated 
  as 
  the 
  City 
  Maintenance 
  Account, 
  con- 
  

   tributed 
  by 
  the 
  City, 
  and 
  two 
  accounts 
  contributed

  Members 
  and 
  friends 
  of

  Museum, 
  

   namely, 
  the

  Investment 
  Account). 
  

   The 
  details 
  of 
  the

  All 
  books 
  and 
  vouchers

  and 
  certified 
  by 
  the 
  Audit

  A 
  few 
  statements 
  may

  making 
  the 
  

   details 
  of 
  this 
  report 
  clear.
