I IL 81. IS $50 per capita, We believe that
this Us lower amount than any similar
association can snow for conducting its
business.
The gentleman also says that at the

S6.s7i.56 in the treasury al the end OF our
| fiscal year. Admitting for the sake OF ar
gumCnt that our indemnities and ex penses
VIII run As high Ia the next two months
as they have averaged In the last ten, his
statement Is not correct. The balance on
hand on the LIST OF March as stated was
y3Ga66.42. Taking as basis the receipts
of the previous year for March and April,
our receipts would be for these two months
5000 90, which added to the balance would
make S42. $50 80, as the number OF APP
plications have been increasing each month
for the last four or five months over the
same months OF last year. 1t Is not unrea-
sonable to expect that this increase VIII
continue and That our revenue for March
and April VIII be even larger than for
last year. AS the ndemnitEes have aver
aged 1871 IL per month. for two months
more on this same basis 1t would amount
to $li,742.2f Tile expenses would amount

claimed In the article referred 10
While II is true this Is not as large n
balance ms tho association had last year,
II must be remembered that the indemnities
paid have been very much larger, For
ten months Of the preceding year they were
$50, 1862 "a. For this year for the same
period they were s73.7il 20. or s2N5I1 Sc
more than last year. Yet with this enor-
nous Increase In our indomniiics the cash
balance Is only $4,000 less
The members can readily see that Vt Is

balance, but II ia the indemnity fund and

paid six death claims OF $1,000 ouch. |
