salaries and other items. They were in the happy position of being able to substantially reduce the bond on their property de pite the hard times through which we were all pa:-"li11g at present. There was no sign of depres·•ion to be seen in the balance sheet this year, for which thanks were due to the Comnul' e. without whose efforts it would have I en impossible to achieve the succesJ gained. discus ion took pla fter which the adoption of the balance heet was carried with acclamation.

the on gr rration had made in ev ry way.
H pointed out that the Cultural Circle well as the Woodstock and alt River Jewish Ladies' Society had l.een formed during the year under review, and through their activi- tie· was due the formation of the " Gan Yelodim," as also the social and financial · success which had attended the ball in aid of the local Tamud Torah. In conclusion,' he appealed to the incoming Committee to work as harmoniously as the last one, as ouly by doing so could they hope to have the success to which all were looking for-
·ward.
