State Agricultural Rooms, 
Madison, Dec. 4.1872. 
Secretary Field moved that a committee of three, not including 
members of the executive board, be appointed by the chair to ex¬ 
amine the report of the treasurer, and compare it with the records 
and books of the secretary; which was adopted, and the chair ap¬ 
pointed Messrs. S. D. Hastings, Levi B. Yilas and L. G. Arm¬ 
strong. 
No further business of a general nature coming before the so¬ 
ciety, a temporary recess was had until 6 o’clock P. M., at which 
hour the president called to order, and the committee submitted 
the following report: 
To the Wisconsin State Agricultural Society : 
Gentlemen : The undersigned, the committee to whom was 
referred the annual report of the treasurer, would respectfully re¬ 
port that they have carefully examined the footings of the report, 
and find them correct, and that they have compared the orders 
paid by the treasurer with the stub-book of the secretary, and find 
them to agree in every instance. 
Quite a number of orders, which have been signed by the sec- 
retar} 7 , are still in the stub-book undelivered, and an equal, if not 
a larger, number that have been issued, are still outstanding un¬ 
paid.
