Unpaid dues to the amount of $1,738 

 are still outstanding for the last three 

 years, namely, for 1900, $944; for 1S99, 

 $544, and for 1898, $150. Allowing 

 $400 of this amount as bad debts, and 

 about $300 for unpaid bills, this would 

 leave a balance of $1,038. Adding this 

 amount to the balance for the year ending 

 November 30, 1900, which is $637.81, 

 would make a total of $1,675.81, or a net 

 balance of $675.81, after deducting the 

 $1,000 loan. 



The Association owns two Chicaero and 

 Eastern Illinois 5% series 1937 bonds. 



One of these has been deposited as security 

 for a loan of $1,000, which was made in 

 1S99, and continued during the past finan- 

 cial year of the Association. These bonds 

 were bought in compliance with the in- 

 structions of a committee appointed by 

 the Board of Directors to dispose of the 

 U. S. Coupon 5's (which are now being 

 called in by the Secretary of the Treasury ), 

 and to reinvest the proceeds. 



Respectfully submitted, 



Otto J. J. Luebkert, 



Treasurer. 

 November 30, 1900.
