++ Christchttrch Branch, No. 82. The following is the Auditor's report and balance-sheet of the Branch to the 10th of June, 1875 :— It is again our pleasing duty to report favorably on the financial position of this Branch for the quarter just ended. We have carefully examined the books and accounts, and have much pleasure in stating that "we have not only found them carefully and correctly kept, but also in a most masterly manner. The various funds have a good balance to their credit, at the balance-sheet clearly shows. "We beg to call your particular attention to the very creditable manner in which, our retiring Secretary has discharged the duties of that office from the establishment of this Branch up to the present time. He has now not only prepared the ordinary balance-sheet of the quarter, but also a summary balance-sheet of the Branch, as also a balance-sheet of cash account. As the work of the Secretary is fast increasing, your auditor's suggest that the Secretary's salary be raised to .£25 per annum ; and that a guinea be also allowed for each audit, i.e., half a guinea for each auditor per audit. Judging from the amount of work now to be done, we trust that you will agree with us in considering the above only just and reasonable. Herewith we beg to submit the pbove-named balance-sheets.
