TREASURER'S REPORT.

THE Treasurer begs to report that the amount of money received by him for the Society, during the past year, was six thousand and ninety-eight dollars and ninety-seven cents ($6,098 97); and the amount expended was four thousand two hundred and fifty-two dollars and twenty-one cents ($4,252 21), leaving a balance in his hands of one thousand eight hundred and forty-six dollars and seventy-six cents ($1,846 76).

The principal items of receipt and expenditure will be found in the analysis account, hereto annexed.

The balance on hand includes $879 34 belonging to the Shattuck Fund, which can only be appropriated to certain specific purposes; and $100 given for a Prize-leaving $867 42 available for the general expenses of the Society.

The Debt of the Society amounts to one thousand dollars, on which we are now paying interest at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum.

The property of the Society is as follows:

The subject of increasing the amount of the annual assessment was considered by the Councillors at the October Meeting. In view of the omission of the Dinner at the last Annual Meeting, it was decided to make no alteration at the time. The Treasurer would respectfully urge upon the Society the necessity of increasing the assessment after the present year, in consequence of the continued increase in the rate of our expenses, and in order that many valuable papers, read before the Society, may be printed in our annual volume. The reversions are not sufficient to pay the expenses of the District Societies, one of which (Norfolk) has voted unanimously to recommend to the Councillors that the assessment be raised to the amount of Five Dollars.

The Treasurer would, also, respectfully recommend that the Fee for the Society's Diploma be raised to Five Dollars.

Respectfully submitted.

FRANCIS MINOT, Treasurer.
