Since our last report both loans made to William M. Este 

 have been paid, aggregating $12,500.00. This amount has all 

 been re-invested except $1,500.00, which are still awaiting a 

 favorable investment. The re-inve.sted funds are represented 

 by the mortgages to Snow, Knop and Froome. In all of the 

 loans made during the past year, the Trustees have stipulated 

 and required that the principal of the loan should l)e payable 

 in gold dollars, and the three last-named loans are made pay- 

 able in that form. The interest notes are payable in the cur- 

 rent funds. It was thoitght advisable to require pa\ment of 

 l)rincipal in gold to gtiard against any tampering with the 

 money of the country, and to avoid any substantial change 

 in the value of the dollar by any legislation that might take 

 place in Congress. The Trustees request that a committee 

 be appointed to examine the securities of the vSocicty, as .set 

 forth in the foregoing report. 



Respectfully submitted, 



A.\K()N A. Fkkkis, Trusttc.
