554 EEPOET OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. 



The committee have examined six hundred and twenty-one receipted 

 vouchers for payments made during the four quarters of the year 1870. 

 In every case the approval of the Secretary of the Institution is given 

 on each voucher, and the certificate of an authorized agent of the Insti- 

 tution is appended, setting forth that the materials and property and 

 services rendered were for the Institution, and to be applied to the pur- 

 poses stated in the account. 



The quarterly accounts- current, bank-book, check-book and ledger 

 were also examined and found to be correct, showing a cash balance in 

 bank on January 1, 1871, of $21,477 81. 



All of which is respectfully submitted.
