Finances of the Institute.

Section 16 of the Amended Constitution of the New Zealand Educational Institute provides "That each District Institute shall pay annually to the Treasurer of the Council, not later than the 31st December, the sum of two shillings for each of its members." In order to meet the extra expense rendered necessary by this regulation, the Otago Branch at last Annual Meeting resolved "That the sum of 7s. 6d. be levied on male members of the Institute, and 4s. on female members, the whole of the sum thus accruing to go towards the funds of the Otago Educational Institute; Branches to levy any additional sum they may require."

This resolution was sent to Branches for their approval, and members of the Dunedin and Milton Branches have this year contributed on the above scale.
