Dear Sir: 
This is to certify that by authority of my appointment at the 
annual meeting, January 13, 1913, [ have examined the books and 
accounts of the Treasurer of the New York Botanical Garden for 
the year nineteen hundred and twelve (1912), together with their 
proper vouchers, and that I find the balance sheet and the Treas- 
urer’s statement of receipts and disbursements attached hereto, 
to be correct. 
I have also examined the various investment securities and 
find the same to be as reported in the said balance sheet, with 
the exception of the $50,000 Canada Southern Railway Company 
First Mortgage Extended Bonds, reported therein, which bonds 
matured January I, 1913, and have been redeemed. In place of 
these there are now included among the securities $50,000 Inter- 
borough Rapid Transit Co. Gold Mortgage 5 per cent. Bonds, 
Series A, due 1952. 
Respectfully submitted,
