“As shown by the balance-sheet,” the report states, “it will be seen that our financial position is quite satisfactory. We have paid off all back debts, and are in the happy position of owing no man anything. The whole province joined together in an effort to get rid of debt, and the success of the effort is a striking example of what can be done by a firm and united effort.”
It is stated that work among crippled children has been undertaken by the rangers in various districts, and birthday presents are sent to each crippled child. A credit of £65 5s lOd is shown on the accounts for the year. The capital account shows an excess of assets over liabilities of £42 Os lOd.
