Abstract of Annual Report. Considerable patience and perseverance had been required to maintain the Institute in anything like its former efficiency. Many disappointments and embarrassments had been met with during the year owing to the removal of subscribers. There had been a diminishing attendance. They had held nine committee meetings, mostly well attended. The trustees desired to convey their thanks to the Borough Council for their annual subsidy, likewise to those proprietors who donated papers to the reading-room. The members' roll now numbered fifty-seven, being rather small in proportion to the population. The library would shortly have a welcome addition of a case of new books, which had arrived and would soon be ready for circulation. The balance-sheet showed—Receipts, £102 8s. 6d.; expenditure, £117 15s. 6d.; debit balance, £15 7s.
