At subsequent meeting of the directors the

Fl. Barnum; vice-president, David S. Draper;
secretary and treasurer, G. K. Averill. The
directors in their annual report say that the
depressed condition of business during the
past year has made decrease in the COM
pany's gross earnings of 500, 733. 70, but that
except for the amounts expended in perma-
nent improvements the corresponding de-
crease in operating expenses would have
made the net results of the years business
equal to previous years. The directors say
that while they look for no increase in bust
LESS they expect reduction in operating ex-
penses which will leave fair net result.
The total receipts for the year were $685.
