Mr. Elliott said there was one thing which he thought should be mentioned with regard to the pre- sent cash balancs at the bank, and that was that, although it was lower this year, they were in a better financial position than they were last year on account of the unusual extraordinary expense which had been incurred by the committee, both with regard to Hoihow, Touran and Quinhon- the decoration of the building Far Helene, 30th Mar, 9| and renewals, and with regard to
a.m. the billiard tables. These were Swatow, Amoy and Foochow via things which he thought should be noticed and which the chair- man had not touched upon.
Mr. Ormiston: With regard to the billiard tables, I don't agree with Mr. Elliott. I find that new cashions have been put down as assets $791.82, but they are not shown in the expenditure at all.
Mr. Elliott: am referring to the cash balance at the bank.
Mr. Ormiston-You referred to extraordinary expenditure.
Mr. Elliott:That reduces the balanos at the bank.
The report and accounts were adopted.
