Pension Fund 103 



The Crocker Land Expedition Fund Account was a tem- 

 porary account, established in connection with the Crocker 

 Land Expedition to the Arctic. The return of 

 Minor thjg expedition in 19 17 and the termination of 



Accounts 



its affairs have made this a rather inactive ac- 

 count during the year. In the Corporate Stock Account are 

 recorded the receipts and expenditures connected with the 

 equipment work met through appropriations of corporate stock 

 by the City. These transactions are entirely independent of 

 the appropriations for maintenance. In 1918 the receipts 

 amounted to $14,757.90. The Museum Building Fund Ac- 

 count contains the funds that have been contributed to the 

 Museum for new building, amounting to $108,174.46. Inas- 

 much as, owing to the high cost of building, actual build- 

 ing operations have been postponed, this money has been 

 placed at interest and the Finance Committee has invested 

 $107,350 in Liberty Loan Bonds. In connection with the meet- 

 ings of scientific societies and in a few other cases the Museum 

 is called upon to handle small sums which are not directly 

 Museum finances. Such items are recorded in a special ac- 

 count designated as the Incidental Account. 



The Treasurer of the Museum is also the Treasurer of the 



Pension Fund of the Museum. The full transactions of the 



receipts and disbursements of the Pension Fund 



Pension will be found in the Report of the Pension Board 



Account which is published as an Appendix to the Annual 



Report. 



Respectfully submitted, 



H. P. Davison, 



Treasurer.
