Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Seventh Annual Report of the Trustees and a List of Members: For the Fiscal Year Ending December 30, 1882
The appropriations of Councils for the maintenance and repair of Memorial Hall enables the Institution to display its collections free to the public, in a building admirably adapted to the purpose but With'the strictest'economy in the wages and the number of per sons employed, the expense of maintaining the Museum in this building exceeds the appropriation for maintenance. This excess and the deficit on the School account have to be paid by the annual subscriptions of members. As both of these sources of mcome aie variable and uncertain, your Trustees again urge upon members and friends of the Institution the importance of providing an endowment that Will secure its existence, independent of annual appropriations or subscriptions. Nothing now limits its useful ness but a lack of funds.
