Director-1n-CuH1EF’s ACCOUNT FOR THE YEAR 1913 
Room 3111, Granp CENTRAL TERMINAL, 
New York, February 10, 1914. 
Mr. Epwarp D. Abas, 
Chairman, Finance Committee, New York Botanical Garden, 
71 Broadway, New York, N. Y. 
Dear Sir: 
This is to certify that I have examined and audited the financial 
books and accounts of the Director-in-Chief of the New York 
Botanical Garden for the year nineteen hundred and thirteen 
(1913), and that I find the same to be correct, and the cash 
balance to be as stated in the current cash book. 
In accordance with recent practice, I have not included in 
this auditing the examination of the vouchers for City mainte- 
nance or construction work paid for by the City as such vouchers 
have been found proper and in order by the City Authorities, 
and it was decided in 1904 by the Chairman of the Finance 
Committee that a further examination of them was unnecessary. 
By like authority I have omitted also a detailed examination of 
the annual membership dues account. These dues are received 
by the Director-in-Chief and forwarded by him to the Treasurer, 
the former keeping a detailed record of the same. 
Respectfully submitted, 
A. W. STonE, 
Special .duditor.
