H. C. WALLACE, 



Secretary. 



The report of the Treasurer was read by Charles Goodenow, 

 corresponding with the report of the Secretary, and showing a 

 final balance of $3,680.51. 



Charles Goodenow: I would suggest that it would be a good 

 idea to have the members signing these pledges instruct their 

 bankers to charge the amount to their accounts, so that the 

 pledges will be paid without the banker creating an expense to 

 notify the member that he has a pledge at the bank for collection. 

 Sometimes the member forgets to pay it, and I think it would be 

 satisfactory to the member, if he intends to pay the association, 

 to have it charged up. Of course, if he has no account, the banker 

 couldn't charge it to him. 



The report of the Auditing Committee was read by Jerome 

 Smith, chairman, as follows: 



AUDITING COMMITTEE'S REPORT.
