The treasurer’s report which will be presented at the annual meeting of the board of directors of the Young Women’s Christian Association, states that the balance-sheet of the association discloses a sound position, thanks to the efforts of the public, who have so generously supported the association to provide means of serving a large number of the girls of the city and province. This year there has been a welcome change in the finances, a surplus of £45 7s lid . in the working account giving hope that the association may again expand its activities to meet the needs of the community. • The year has been increasing burdens, the principal increases being for provisions for hostel £52 (now £1076),-laundry £3O (now £121). rates £l7 (now (£107), coal and gas £22 (now £168). The expenses for the year amounted to £3295. The revenue comprised board and residence £2752, subscriptions £226, Street Day £282, special efforts and sundry, £ 309.
