In presenting their report at the close of the fiscal year, yoTir 

 committee take occasion to remark that they have examined tho 

 books opened in 1858 by Mr. John W. Chambers, the efficient 

 clerk of the Institute, down to the present time, and after a full 

 examination of the cash account with the general accounts of 

 the treasurer and with the members' ledger, it affords them 

 pleasure to say, that they have found the same correct, and that 

 every dollar collected has been fully accounted for.
