The present market value of the stocks
of the Corporation is by statement above $2.490.
less than par; but the market value of the
Superintendent's house & lot exceeds the cost con-
siderably more than this sum. _

There are some other liabilities of
the Corporation for Chapel and Statuary, but
these will probably be met as they mature
from sales of lots. _

The current expenses at the Cemetery
have been reduced during the past year, as
will be seen by the ^report of the Superintendant to be less than
$4.000

The changing nature of accounting in this period is interesting - this is the first time I've seen them recording the market value for all of the stocks

And Elizabeth, they've lost money!

Another math error on this page. The correct sum at the top of the page is $17,267.42

Up until this page, all of the math errors I found were in transcription. First time, they erred.
