N.Z. TREASURER'S REPORT.

The balance sheet I present to-day compares fairly well with that of last year as far as receipts are concerned, but the credit balance I have to show is smaller owing to increased expenditure. A few small branches have sent in no contribution at all, while two have sent in theirs too late to appear in the sheet. I regret that, owing to ignorance of my duty, I sent out no printed balance-sheet forms, thereby causing local treasurers considerable inconvenience, and entailing on myself a great deal of extra correspondence. I have to report that the local treasuries are, with two exceptions, in a healthy condition, the moneys received totalling in round numbers £I4OO, expen ditlire £llOO, and balance £.’loo. This

includes balance-sheets for Ihuiedin Sailor’s Rest, the Work Among Young People, and the expenses connected with the anti gambling petition. Of the local T moils < liristelmrch easily lends with receipts tlL'o, and is followed by Hlculicim with £23M, and Auckland with £l">M. In conclusion I would urge on the treasurer of each branch the necessity of collecting all dues in |)eeember, and forwarding capitation fees to the general treasurer in good time. Some I'nions are without books of receipt forms. These are abso lutelv necessary for the satisfactory keeping of the accounts ot both general and local treasurer, and are supplied to the I’nions by me on receipt ot 1 K. IMHiItMANN.
