A fteat portion of the after toon was taken np with the read ing of the auditors report, by L. E. Neat, of Salem who had been secured to o over the cannc-y books, by the corap-.Utee, Jok. A. Dltter, Tony Stelnkamp and W. H. Loose. Mr. Neat, stated that be had gone Into every detail, and could find no discrepancl what soever, and that the co-operative cannery was In good standfns with banks. Also that elthough there were 25 or 30 email ac counts receivable, they are not what could he called' bad debts. It was also bronght oat that 60 per cent of the stockholders Blight demand an audit at any time. Another question which came before the meeting was whether or not a director could be a man ager, as has ?"en the case with Geo. A. Smith the past four years. Mr. Smith stated that If the stock holders so desired he would re sign as director. No motion was made to this effect. Mrs. Genevieve Smith, secretary-treasurer, gave a report on the number of pounds of fruit and berries canned the past year, the total number being 3,545.468 pounds; or 60,619 cases. While there is still a quantity of bar reled fruit in gold storage, thl3 for the most part is contracted. On the question of the amount Of salaries paid out in 1932, it was shown George A. Smith had received $2,225, He had here tofore received $2400 per year. On May first he voluntarily de ducted $25 monthly from his alary. Mrs. Genevieve Smith, secretary-treasurer, received $1,332 lor the year; J. W. Mayo re ceived $100, or $200 per month lor the four months he worked as sales manager, up until May 1. Ernest Dotler, process man, re ceived $1825, for the 10 months be served in that capacity. Geo. Bell, $50 per month and J. F. Barkman, $75 per month. Another question coming be fore the meeting was whether or ! not J. W. Mayo was at present connected with the cannery. Mr. ' Smith replied that he was not, but was only working for the brokers who bandied the local output. George Tate, Pete Etzel and Jot. Schrews were elected new directors. The first two being boldovers. Other directors are Al Phillips, Irvin Parberry, E. R. Clark and George Smith. Mr. Schrewe, prior to his nom ination, bad made an earnest plea to all the 200 stockholders, that they forget all petty grievances and -work together during 1913 that they Indeed be a eo-operatlvo unit. The last order of business was the vote upon an amendment, whereby any stockholder that ells any part of his crop to an other buyer, or delivers any pro duct to the Stayton cannery, from a non-stockholder, without first obtaining permission from the board of directors, automatically (forfeits all rights as a member "and his stock is subject to be tak en up. " The directors will meet later, to elect a manager, who will un doubtedly be the present one, George A. Smith. It might be said here in ex planation as to the operation of the United States government warehouse in connection with the cannery, Geo. H. Bell Is licensed ander the TJ. 8. Warehouse act and in charge of the Stayton Warehouse company, which con trols three warehouses on the - cannery premises, which are un der lease and control of the Ware houseman Geo. H. Ball and the custodian, J. F. Barkmeyer. These warehouses are at intervals of about each three months inspect ed and checked by U. 9. govern ment representatives. The capac ity of the warehouses are 75,000 cases. The Stayton Warehouse com pany makes a charge of tttc a case, per season, or sufficient to pay the cost of conducting it. The warehouseman 1s paid $50 per , month and the custodian $75 per month: By conducting this opera tloa this -way there is a saving to the cannery of between $5000 to $6000 per year.
