Total.

Comparing these liabilities with the resources
above given, n deficit is seen of $3.50, ard the
board will therefore have 10 look In the face the
necessity Of additional cash resources OF not less
than eight. and probably ter thousand. dollars
would advise that not less than $40, 600 should
be relied on as adequate 70 supply all the proba-
bly, necessary wants OF the board. On this sub
iect suggest that the work Inaugurated and 30
very encouragingly conducted by the lady as
sistant and other officers and members OF the
hoard, in connection with public entertainments
and the sale OF the Mt Vernon memorial scrip,
be continued and pressed during the months OF
Deceg,ber January, February, and March, as
may be found practicable and likely to produce
good results.
In addition 10 this, however, suggest and ad-
wise that application be made upon some plan TO
be agreed on by the board TO the cities and towns
OF the State, and also 70 many OF the counties
which have not yet contributed towards the ex-
pense iund OF the board, and, If found necessary,
TO our apprecatiye and puhlicly-sprited citizens
and corporations. think IL quite likely that in
this way the board will be able 20 raise sum
probably not less than $4,000 from these va
rious means, and that We should endeavor as
early as practicable, TO secure a reliable assur~
ance from these sources for at least the sum Of
$4,000.
