ISAIAH K. STETSON, Treasurer. 



I, the undersigned, duly appointed Auditor of the Corporation, do hereby cer- 

 tify that I have examined the books of the Maine Agricultural Experiment 

 Station for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1897; that I have found the same well 

 kept and classified as above, and that the receipts for the year from the Treasurer 

 of the United States are shown to have been $15,000.00, and the corresponding dis- 

 bursements, $15,000.00; for all of which proper vouchers are on file and have 

 been examined by me and found correct. 



And I further certify that the expenditures have been solely for the purposes 

 set forth in the act of Congress approved March 2, 1887. 



ELLIOTT WOOD, Auditor.
