As indicating the care taken to secure alb
sOiute accuracy in statements OF amounts,
II may be remembered that the report made
by Mr.. Cox at Monday evenings meeting
was that the signed blanks turned over te
him in the course Of the proceedings added
up 500 co. A blank for $1,000 was handed
In few minutes later. bringing up the
total TO t3l5.000 The actual total added to
the books as q result OF Monday evenings

next two weeks by claims OF chairmen OF
different committees TO have amounts trans

properly belong. To simplify these transfers
