REPORTS OF COMMITTEES. 83 



treasurer has sometimes been obliged to overdraw on the bankers of the 

 Institution, whereas the six thousand dollars, reserved from appro- 

 priation and left in the treasury during the present year, will enable 

 the Secretary and Executive Committee to defray all expenditures 

 without subjecting the Institution to charges for interest on over- 

 drafts. 



The committee report, also, that they have examined all the ac- 

 counts and vouchers and compared them with the books, and find them 

 all correct. 



Respectfully submitted : 



J. A. PEARCE, 

 A. D. BACHE, 

 J. a. TOTTEN, 



Executive Committee.
