It was a wise policy which directed the setting apart of the sums paid in commutation of annual dues, and investing them for a permanent income. Ohi Building * I" 1870 and 1871, through the exertions of my prede- "^""^' cessor, ably seconded by his friend Mr. George B. Upton, and by our late associate the founder of the Towne Memo- rial Fund, and others, subscriptions to the amount of nearly $45, 000 were procured for the erection and fitting up of this building. This amount, except a trifling ...balance, was expended for the purpose for which it was sub- scribed ; and at the annual meeting of 1872 it was resolved to start another subscription, " to establish a Librarian fund the income of which to be appropriated to the payment of a salary of a librarian, and to such otlier 19 purposes as may be necessary for the efficiency and prosperity of the Society. " Accordingly, the same book in which subscriptions had been entered to the Building Fund was used for a new subscription, which, I understand, was started with- out a heading (that being subsequently written in), but with the understanding that it was for the general pur- pose declared at the annual meeting.
