The mortality among the Vestrymen has been unusually
heavy, no less than four having died during the year. The
vacancies thus caused will be filled up at the election in May,
1890.
A list of the Vestrymen and Auditors of Accounts will be
found on pages 7 and 8.

The Vestry usually meet on alternate Thursday mornings,
but a special meeting may be convened at any time upon the
requisition of five members, and some of the ordinary meetings
are suspended at vacation times. Four Standing Committees
are appointed annually, in accordance with the byelaws
of the Vestry, and meet as frequently as occasion may
require. Special Committees are appointed from time to time
to consider subjects not coming within the ordinary duties of
either of the Standing Committees.
