Financial Position. The reports for the year were presented by Mr. Cassidy. An out- standing feature of the year's working was the excess of expen- diture over intdme, leaving a dr fielt of $3,160,81, comnored with the surplus of 1926. of $111,061.78. This was accounted for largely by decreased interest and heavy pɔy- menta for passages.
