At the m a s s meeting called
last Friday night the Committee
for 1913 made their report show­
ing total receipts of $669.04 and
and disbursements of $684.66.
This shows a shortage of $15.61.
This shortage was the result of
the committee assumning some
expenditures not authorised by
them, but which they thought
should be paid. They asked to
be retained until they could clear
his up, when upon reporting to
the new committee they could be
discharged. At that time they
expect to print a report.
The books of the Committee
show their work in detail and
are open for ..inspection to any
one desiring to look at their
itemized accounts.
Their report was adopted by
the ¿meeting and a new com­
mittee elected consisting of H.
L. McKee, Frank Smith and
A. O. Knowles.
