Mr. President and Gentlemen of the

We, your committee, appointed at the annual meeting, December 
20, 1884, to audit the report of the Treasurer for the year 1884, 
have the honor to submit the following report: 
We have examined the statement of receipts of dues from mem- 
bers, and of interest on bonds, and find the former to be $745, and 
the latter $95, as appears in the Treasurer’s statements of aceounts 
for the year 1884. 
In addition to the foregoing, $15 were repaid to the Treasurer by 
a member for extra printing, thus making the total receipts $855. 
We have examined the vouchers for disbursements for the same 
period, and find them correct. 
We have compared the return checks with the vouchers and with 
the entries in the bank book, and find them correct. 
We have examined the bank book, and found the balance as set 
forth to be correct, said balance, deducting the amount of two checks 
not yet returned, being $183.04, with Messrs. Riggs & Co.
