of the above balance $2,094.12 has

late this afternoon to be deposited. The
above amount in the bank is to my
Tee
The butchers and grOcers have an
unexpended balance which is still in the
hands of our secretary in the shape of
a check
The above balance does not include
this amount, but we have paid out for
the butchers and grOcers three VOuch-
ers amounting to $3.50"
Then follows the list of uncOllected
subscriptions, amounting to 1929, but
Secretary Anderson explained that $500
of this amount was subscribed by the
Union Pacific, and that a communica-
ton had been received from the officials
Of the road stating that the reason the
amount had not been forwarded was
owing to the absence of the president,
and that it would be forthcoming in
Few days.
When preparations were being made
for the reception the butchers and gro
GERS association turned over to the re-
ception committee all the money in the
association treasury amounting to over
$500, and it desired to have the unex-
the banquet turned back to it. This
was done after deducting the $3.50
which had been paid out for the butch
ersi and grocers' association.
This viii leave a balance of 81, 596 u
to the credit of the committee and con-
corning this Major Anderson offered the
following resolution:
Resolved That the balance in the
hands OF the treasurer after all sub
scriptions are collected and bills paid
be turned over to the Commercial club
as an entertainment fund to be dis
bUrsed at its discretion for the best
interest of the city
Some of the members thought it
ought to be saved for a fall festival
fund. but Major Anderson called atten-
ton to the fact that the club was called
upon frequently to contribute funds to
aid in bringing large gatherings to To-
peSa, and it would be well to leave the
fund so that it could be expended for
this purpose if it should be deemed ad-
visable. and the resolution was passed
unanimously
Secretary Holman was instructed to
have lists of all the expenditures of the
committee printed and sent to each
subscriber. SO that each one could see
exactly what has been done with the
money spent
AR Greenwald then moved that the
secretary be instructed to prepare a fin
al report to be submitted to the Com
merclaI club. and that the club be re-
quested to discharge the committee, af-
ter which the committee adjourned.
