The report dealt exhaustively with the prospects of the society, and stated that the opening of the Museum had increased its attractions. The financial statement disclosed that there was a balance to credit, though the disbursements had been considerable on account of Museum and library improvements. The thanks of the society were conveyed to the Borough Council for their substantial subsidy and grant. The roll of members contains seventy names. The trustees' meetings have been well attended, showing that members take great interest in its welfare.
