sixteen hundred dollars for the year. To
some this estimate may seem high, but
your committee feel that it 10 safer 70 have
. balance on the credit side q the end Of
the fiscal year than balance on the debtor
side unprovided for. The strength and
usefulness of On Association like this il
largely compromised by going into debt.
Whatever may be thought Of our ssti.
mates. we would recommend that the treas.
urer be authorized to close up at once BY
collections and vouchers Of the OUTSTANDING
dues Of the Association, in order that We
may know our actual financial condition.
n settling these outstanding dues there 10
some difficulty in amounts, and in persons
named as responsible for amounts set 10
their names, ETC. Your committee vould
recommend that such parties be settled
with on liberal terms, relying in great
measure upon the statements Of The parties.
We recommend this that the organization
may incur the displsasure Of none through
Misunderstanding OF otherwise.
