Treasurer’s Report. 
The statements submitted herewith, show the receipts and 
expenditures for the year 1911-12, and also the Society’s financial 
position on the first of October in the latter year. 
It will be observed that the amount withdrawn from the 
“Special Account,” $1,198.10, was all used in connection with 
the repairs and alterations to the building, the charges for which 
amounted to $1,246.81. 
The balance of $84.13 in the Bank of New Brunswick is 
considerably less than it was at the close of our last year, as it 
was then $231.54, but it must be remembered that our barn 
now gives us an income of only $25.00 per annum, while it 
formerly gave $100.00, and that the ladies have discontinued 
their annual grant of $150.00 — these changes reduce our annual 
income by $225.00. 
Our thanks are due the Provincial Government and the City of 
Saint John for the grants of $400.00 and $250.00 respectively. 
All conversant with our work must surely realize that our 
museum is daily becoming more valuable as an educator and 
that the more it does for the people, the more it is justified in 
asking from the people, or from those representing the people, 
and it would appear to be in the interest of all that the Society’s 
work and position be brought to the special notice of the City 
Commissioners, and an endeavour made to have the City’s 
annual grant increased. A. Gordon Leavitt.
