REPORT OF THE TREASURER OF THE BOARD OF 
TRUSTEES OF THE BUILDING FUND. 
The Treasurer of the Board of Trustees of the Building Fund 
herewith presents his final report, which has been examined and 
approved by the Finance Committee of the Academy—and the Con. 
tributors to the Building Fund. 
The. receipts from all sources, including a balance of 
$4,919.03, which was on hand April 17th, 1884, amounted 
to.$143,449.48 
Payments amounted to. 143,440.50 
Balance on hand. $8.98 
At a meeting of the Contributors of the Building Fund, held 
December 28th, 1895, he was directed to transfer said balance to 
the Treasurer of the Academy, which has accordingly been done. 
The completion of the Lecture Hall adjoining the Academy 
was fully accomplished, but owing partly to the financial disturb¬ 
ance of 1893 it was found impossible to collect sufficient contribu¬ 
tions to complete the addition to the Museum, particularly as some 
of the pledges were based on conditions that had not been attained.
