The Commissioners, in submitting their Statement of
Accounts for the year ending 25th March, 1890, duly
certified by Messrs. Wilde & Venables, Chartered
Accountants, and audited by three of the Parochial
Auditors, have to report as follows:-
The working of the Institution, as compared with last
year, shows an increase in the receipts of £257 7s. 5½d.,
and in the expenditure of £133 15s. 5d. The improved

prevailed during the Summer months. From Returns
and Charts, for which the Commissioners are indebted to
Colonel Blair, it appears that even during the past year
the establishment only paid all its expenses for three*
weeks.
