r o OF AUDITING COMMITTEE.
DEBORAH, Iowa, June 90, 1855,
The committee, appointed to audit the
accounts of the treasurer, has examined
the same and found them correct.
The committee has, however, found that
in the past, the accounts of the association
have been kept in an un~businesslike man
ner and would, therefor, suggest to the as
ISOLATION that a complete, yet simple sys-
TEN of book keeping be adopted. The
committee has further found that many
members have failed to pay their annual
dues and would suggest that means be
taken to awaken their tagging interest IN
the association.
Recognizing that the work of the trea-
surer is considerable, the committee would
suggest that he be paid for his work, tha'
he may be able to devote the necessary
time to the business of the association.
Respectfully submitted,
OF I LEE LEE, Committee,
Meeting adjourned sine die.
