The average monthly expenditure of the past year has exceeded the 



average monthly income by 62 Es. being 868 Es. against 806 Es.,

45 12 ciety's liabilities of heavy items (C.) due to the late 



64 ]yj; r Torrens and other members, are among the 

 3,477 5 charges; deducting the aggregate of these as by 

 marginal Memo, the legitimate charges of the year will not exhibit
