I would especially add an ex pression of our gratitude to Mrs. Harman for her invaluable assis tance and for that good taste in the arrangement which, unfor. tunately, we more men-folk seem to lack so badly.

As the lease of these premises expires on the 31st March, 1931 a very close examination matter must occupy the early and close attention of our Committes. We have been treated with con- sideration by our. landlords it is to be hoped that ways and means can be found to make un arrangement for the continuation af the lease, whereby, we shall be able to enjoy a further term in the building which so well sults our requirements.

EVERYWHERE,

You will note that during the year we have sustained a loss on working of $1,316.93 as compared with a loss in the previous year of $3,750.05 being an improve ment of $2,433.02, which, if not entirely satisfactory, is at least a step in the right direction.

That step appears the more solid when it is painted out that of that loss of $1,316.93 a sum of $800 has been written off the cost of the very necessary re-decoration of the premises, leaving the remain Ing $800 to be written off this

year.

There is another point in the important matter of working ex- penses which I think and hope is a harbinger of better times ahead; I refer to the fact that the 4th

quarter of the year, taken alone, showed a profit of $506.64. (ap plause).
