Slimmer Meeting. 35 



Since making this report, I have received from the State treasurer, 

 June 2, 1904, the sum of $791.36. This makes a total sum of money 

 in my hands which I turn over to my successor in office, W. T. Flour- 

 noy, of $1,138.81. The expense of this meeting and premiums awarded 

 will, of course, be deducted from this amount. 



W. G. Gang, 



Treasurer. 



Mr. Chairman : Your committee, after looking over the Treasurer's 

 report, find bills and receipts for each and every item in account. Also 

 find drafts for amount to balance his account.

 P. K. Sylvester. 

 Adopted. 



The report of the Finance Committee and the resolutions offered 

 and adopted on another day of the meeting are submitted here at the 

 conclusion of the Treasurer's report; also the discussion on the Finance 

 Committee report. The Executive Committee authorize the following 

 statements and notations in order that our members may have a full 

 understanding : 



AFTER THE REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE. 



A statement followed the report to the effect that the $1,000 which 

 was placed in the Mississippi Valley Trust Company by order of the 

 Executive Committee, was still there and $100 had been spent for four 

 chairs and two desks for use at the World's Fair. This was done by 

 vote of the Executive Committee and the treasurer issued the check for 

 the same. There is, therefore, still left to the credit of the society over 

 $1,000, including interest. This fund, while deposited in the name of 

 the Society, can be drawn only by the treasurer on order of Executive 

 Committee and of the President and Secretary, the same as all other 

 moneys are drawn. 



This money has been accumulating for a number of years and it has 

 been the aim of the Society to save and establish a fund of $2,000, or 

 more of their own. The time is here when another $1,000 can be set 

 aside and added to this amount.
