was next read by Mr. Henderson. He stated that the balance in hand, at the 
Annual General Meeting in May last, was £304 17s. 4 d., and the receipts since 
that time £298 14s., making a total of £603 11s. 4 d.; the expenditure had 
been £210 7s. 8 d., leaving a balance in hand of £393 3s. 8r/. 
The Secretary said, that if no extraordinary expenses occurred, £93 would 
be sufficient for the remainder of the year, and there would be, at the end of that 
period, a balance of £300. 
INVESTMENT OF FUNDS. 
Professor Simonds then moved that the sum of £300 be at once invested in 
the Funds. 
Mr. Morton said it was a question of policy, first, whether in the present 
state of monetary affairs the money should be invested at all; and, secondly, 
whether so large a sum should be so applied. He was favorable to the investing 
of money, as it would form a nucleus which would go on adding to itself; but as 
the expenses depended so much upon contingencies, and it would not look well 
for a public body to be selling out immediately after buying in, he would suggest 
that £200 or £250 only be invested. 
Mr. Henderson and Mr. Braby thought it should be decided first in whose 
names the money should be invested. It could not be in the name of the Royal 
College of Veterinary Surgeons. 
Mr. Cherry , Sen., held that it should first be determined whether or not the 
money was to be invested. 
Professor Simonds then moved that 200J. be invested. 
In answer to a question from the Secretary, 
Professor Simonds said, this was only to be regarded as a notice of motion. 
The Secretary said, he had entered on the minutes, that it would be brought 
forward at the next Meeting, and trustees appointed.
