ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE
. 1982/83
This year 1982-1983 may be considered a good year financially for the Siam
Society due to the high rate of interest of 16% on its assets, arising from the sale of the
Siam Cement Shares some years ago.
On the other hand, caution is neces~ary for the year 1983-1984 due to the
lower interest rate and the increase in our basic expense such as-
Baht Baht
Insurance 9,843.65 to 17,740.00
Land tax
9,300.00 to 25,156 00 after an appeal
Cost of printing the Journal 100,000.00 to 165,000.00
Cost of printing the Natural History Bulletin 60,000.00 to 70,000.00
These expenses have to be met. Apart from this there is the need to replace
our flimsy bamboo wall between the Shell Pump and the very very dry wood of
Kamthieng House with a brick fence.
