Annual Report for the Year Ended 31st December, 1941 - Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 55 -1942 page xxxiv

ACCOUNTS.
   Notwithstanding the continued reduction in the membership and the consequent decrease in receipts, the Accounts show a satisfactory balance, due mainly to the restriction of expenditure on the annual volume within the limits prescribed by circumstances. Arrears of subscriptions are again regrettably high, owing, no doubt, in many cases to the absence of members from their usual homes and activities.

ARCHAEOLOGIA CANTIANA.
   Owing to prevailing conditions the difficulties in the way of book production continue to increase, and the volume recently issued to members is much smaller than usual. The Council continue to aim at the issue of an annual volume, and they hope to be in a position to arrange for the production of one of greater content for next year.

ARCHAEOLOGIA CANTIANA ILLUSTRATIONS
   FUND.
   The Illustrations Fund is used to supplement the amount available from other sources for providing illustrations in Archaeologia Cantiana. Donations received in 1941 totalled £12 8s. Additional support for the fund, whether of large or small sums, will be welcomed.
   Contributions should be sent to the Hon. Treasurer

(Mr. Charles Stokes, New Hall, Dymchurch, Kent).

RECORDS BRANCH.
   Had it not been for war conditions, the third part of Kent Feet of Fines would have been published during the year. Publication proved impossible because the original records, with which the manuscript must be finally checked before it goes to the printer, have been sent out of London for safety, and are not now available for reference. It is hoped that this interruption in the plans of the Records Branch will not be of long duration. The deaths of Mr. Ralph Griffin and of Dr. F. W. Hardman, two of the co-editors of Kent Feet of Fines, are referred to with regret elsewhere in this Report.
   If financial resources permit, it is hoped to publish during 1942 the Register of Daniel Rough, Common Clerk of Romney in the middle of the fourteenth century. The Register is being edited by Miss K. M. E. Murray, M.A., B.Litt., author of The Constitutional History of the Cinque Ports. It includes an early version of the Romney Custumal, and contains a wealth of material that will attract everyone interested in the history of Romney and the Cinque Ports, and in the development of borough custom.
