Applications ■numbered 157, compared with .150 last year, and covered a wide range of objects concerned with charity and education. Last year’s allocation was £10,145. The Public Trustee .advised that difficulties were still being experienced in the administration of the trust owing to the existing economic conditions and the compulsory reduction in rent and interest and increased taxation, but notwithstanding these matters it was pleasing to report that the sum of £9OOO would be available for distribution.
