The Club's wages bill showed an increase of $500 which was partly due to the fact that it was found necessary to discharge the old staff of boy's because of dishonesty and it was necessary to pay them s month's wages in lieu of notice The present staff was engaged at higher wages and a new turf hand bad been employed.
