All payments are made by check, signed by the secretary of the 

 institution, on the Treasurer of the United States, and all revenues 

 are deposited to the credit of the same account, except in some in- 

 stances small deposits are placed in bank for convenience of collec- 

 tion and later are withdrawn in round amounts and deposited in the 



Treasury.

 has proven highly satisfactory. During the year the interest derived 

 from this source has amounted to $1,066.67.
