*) By resolution of the Synod.

†) This item covers the entire cost of the Synod's printing-house building and its interior
fitting-out, whereas the report on the building fund in the general treasurer's report for 1874
(see the report of the 1874 Delegate Synod, p. 89) contains only the expenditures up to October
1, 1874. This is noted here so that no one may suppose the building and its fittings cost twice
what they actually did.
