troll:
Gentlemen: Herewith I have the
honor to present TO your honorable
board my second quarterly report Of
the State dispeLsary for the quarter
ending july 81, 1895.
In my last quarterly report l
brought down Mr.. Tra1ler's net profit
from Sl5l, 29j.5 to Sill, 1,959. So. 4
still further reduction of 81, ,4OO.7o has
since been made, from the fact that he
turned over sundry accounts as assets
which, upon investigation, were found
to be overcharges; on the other hand,
outstanding liabilities, of which his
books contained no record, were found
to be due by the State, and the
amounts of these discrepancies aggre-
gate 81 ,iO0.7S, which leaves his net
profit to date $l10, ,559.O4.
! AIN pleased to say that the dispen-
sary Is now operating on II strictly
cash basis. There is now in the State
treasury and in the banks cash suffi-
cient to refund to the State the $780,
600 appropriation as loan to the dis
