Buliding Improvements,
As regarde our buildings, the an- nual general meeting of a year ago authorised an expenditure of $2,000 on this pavillon, and I am sure you will agree that the money has been well spent, the extension of the main club room right through to the back being in particular a great improve- ment.
In accordance with the usual prac. tice, the amount expended-$1,019.10 appears among our assets in the balance sheet, and will be written off in the next three years.
