1876, of $Sl24 II. The statement for
1877 shows that there was in the
treasury on the last day of February,
1877, ssS24 50. but the published
statement of 1878 shows that there
was in the treasury the same day
that is to say--February 20, lS77,
only s524l 81. Now, not being a
professional bookkeeper can't under
stand it. Will some one be kind
enough to explain this, to me, appar.
ent discrepancy? On examining State
ments of previous years find that in
other years the statement of each
year began with the same amount with
which the previous year left off. Why
this change in the manner of making
the last statement! Respect. Yours,
II. B. CowLEs.
