prosperous oouditiou, and we doubt whether there is a siniilai- undertaking' in the country of superior finaneial stabili- ' ty. Out of the depreciation account, after milking good all 'vvear and tear, over £21,000 has liecn spent during recent years in iiiiprovonients at the works, which have jiraeticatlv been leconstrueted witli- out borrowing new capital. Tliere is still a balance of £6-I-t2 16s. at the credit of Iho depreciation fund for (•(mtingeiieie.s.


WATER I’UND. Glithoroc has alw.ays heen in a peculiarly


hapipy position with regard lo its water suppii,y, and it is also fortunate in the manageinent of the worK'.s. Very little has been spent during the vear on capita! account. The revenue aecunit .diows a, slight I'cduetion of a.hoiit £20 in the gi-o.ss profit, £3-110 6.-. Ikl.


i''i'Oiii this ainoimt 'ff Utisa^'’: 'f.


is deducted £2.80t) Os. !0d. for loan charges, which leaves a net ]irotit of £63.S Os. 2d. e.arricd to tin’ dcpi’cciatiou fund. The whole of last year's profit.s were in a. siis- piense account, but that lias now been placed to the cn-dit- of the depireeitition fund. The water works are on a satis­


factory financial footing. DISTRICT FUND.
