About the financing of Ruimzicht
Van Dijk (1875) over zijn collectereizen: Zijn afkeer van collecteren werd ‘eenigermate’ gecompenseerd door ‘gedurig gebed’. Uit de administratie: Collectes om schulden te dekken: In 1874 was er een van schuld f 14.000,- + hypothecaire schuld van f 10.000,- + f 500,- rente per jaar. Van Dijk hield ieder jaar een Voorjaarscollecte. In 1875 haalde hij behalve de f 5.000,- ter aflossing van de hypothecaire schuld nog f 11.488,52 op in Amsterdam, Den Haag, Utrecht en Rotterdam, terwijl er nog f 3.000,- nodig is om de exploitatieschuld van 1874 te dekken. Men schonk bedragen van f 2,50 tot f 500,- bij 189 schenkers en veel meer bezoeken. Van Dijk blijkt moeite te hebben met het feit dat een gulden maar één keer kan worden uitgegeven: hij beklaagt zich over een resterende schuld van f 14.000 als hij met twee grote giften ter waarde van f 5.000, – totaal de helft van de hypothecaire schuld heeft weten af te lossen.
