By the above statement it appears, that a balance of eleven dollars & sixty two cents is due to the Deacons.
The Deacons, as usual, make no charge for their ser- vices, except three dollars for extra expence, and time in managing the Fund.
The Committee are of opinion and recommend, that the private securities, now exprefsed in the late denomination should be exchanged for others in that of federal money; and that no security be taken without a surety, or col- lateral security.
One third of the interest of the foregoing Securities is to be paid by the Deacons to the Treafurer of the first Parifh in Cambridge on the first day of April 1798, and will amount to $24.21 purfuant to a vote of the Church pafsed 18th of June 1773.
The above we find to be the true state of the unappro- priated church fund in the hands of the Deacons on the 30th of June 1797.
The Committee then proceeded to enquire into the state of the fund appropriated to the ufe of the Poor of said Church, and found the Deacons indebted as follows, viz. To sundry Securities for monies at int June 30 1796

(24)
It has been the usage of this Church to have the Lord's Supper adminiftered once in eight weeks. Some incon- venience (though not a subject of complaint) arising from the particular days of the communion not being specified and the first communion this year (1797) falling on the first day of January; the Pastor, on that day, proposed to the church, that, hereafter, the Lord's Sup- per be adminiftered on the first Lord's day of every other month, beginning with the month of January.
No objection being offered, the proposal has been carried into effect.

The Committee are of opinion & recommend, that the private Securities, now exprefsed in the late denomina- tion, should be exchanged for others in that of federal money : and that no Security be taken, without a surety or collateral Security.
One third of the interest of the foregoing Securities is to be paid by the Deacons to the Treasurer of the first Parish in Cambridge, on the first day of April, 1802. and will amount to 28.64, purfuant to a vote of the church pafsed 18th of June 1773.
The above we find to be the true state of the unappro- priated Church fund in the hands of the Deacons, on the 30th of June 1801.
The Committee then proceeded to enquire into the state of the fund appropriated to the use of the Poor of said church, and found the Deacons Dr To sundry Securities for monies at intt June 30, 1800 281.12
