iBgs of the board Of managers for the year
past.
The board of managers have held six stated
meetings and one special, the average atten.
dance of the members was larger than the
year previous, greater interest is being mani
tested by the members of the board as to the
meetings and personal application to all duties
appertaining TO the welfare of the association.
The committee appointed at the monthly
meetings (styled committee of the week. COM
posed of two members of the board, to confer
with and assist the general agent in the in
vestigation of the cases presented, have at
tended to their duties with all increased
earnestness to see that justice is done to the
applicants as we'll as to the association.
Since the last annual meeting the associa
ton, as well as the board of managers have
been deprived by death of the valuable ser
vices of William Hammond, our treasurer
who died January 3, 1880. The board Of
m nagers at the meeting held in February
filled the vacancy by electing Alfred Wood

who was Immediately qualified by presenting
his bond and he entered at once upon thu
duties of the Office of treasurer.
A detailed account of the doings of the as
sociation and its financial condition will b.

The association is in need of more funds t.

Cannot our funds be increased by life mem
bership, which may be done by the paymen
of $40 at one time, also by increasing the an
nual contributions.
Respectfully submitted,
