carefully examined by the board and compared with the 
vouchers and records kept by the secretary. It was the cus¬ 
tom of the society, however, and a proper custom, to appoint 
its own committee to make such investigations into the finan¬

Kufus Cheney, J. Gr. Thorp and Eli Stilson to inspect the 
records and accounts of the treasurer and secretary and report 
to the meeting as soon as practicable.. 
The following is the

The committee charged with the examination of the report of the treas¬ 
urer/having examined the same, with the accompanying vouchers and re¬ 
cords of the secretary, respectfully report that they find the said accounts 
correct, and that bills and vouchers for the several items are on file and 
open to inspection in the office of the society.
