C. A. Shows Progress in
the Year Just Closed
CURTIS NAMED PRESIDENT
Financial Report of Association Shows
Only Small Deficit After Heavy
Expenditures.-P1ans for
New Years Work

Inc h0nOSna I. M. u. "A. mas Just
completed one of the best years in it's
history and this fact was shown by the
reports Of the officers made at the
annual meeting Of the directors and
members Of the Association held at
the Auditorium on Friday evening, and
while the report of the treasurer showed
a deficit in funds Of more than $500 in
many ways the year was banner year.
It was year of heavy expenditures
and the collections were about the
same as in the former year. The re
port Of the treasurer showed that the
total expenditure for the year amounted
to So, 364.46 Of this amount 5000 was
paid on old accounts that had been out
standing for some time and in addition
the heavy expenses of insurance for a
term of three years were met. On this
account the deficit was made necessary
The report showed that the building
had paid a large profit to the Associ-
alton this year, the total receipts from
the dormitories being $1,82195, and
this was the largest item of receipts of
the association. During the year the
association received as dues $1,357.65
and there were gifts in the way of
subscriptions to the amount of $1,100.
The reports showed that all branches
of the work had been advanced during
the year and that the greater amount
OF the expense had been in connection
with the support of the religious and
social work of the association. Few
of the departments had proved paying
propositions to the association but this
was not expected by the officers and
with the elimination of the old bills
paid and the advance payments for
Insurance it was shown that financially
the association broke little better
than even for the year. There was no
action taken IN regard to any enlarge
ments during the coming year but the
main plans of the association are to
extend the work to employed men and
make the association and it's allied
interests more of benefit to such men.
During the year there were 1873 new
memberseadded TO the association bring
ing the total number up to 1926. Great
interest has been shown in the different
lines Of work and the night school has
been one Of the popular features dur
ing the year.
G. IL. Curtis General Manager Of the
Chicago-Kenosha Hosiery Company was
reelected president of the association
for another year, and the policy for
this year will be continued under the
new administration. Mr.. Curtis has
been most active in association work
and the success Of the year has been
brought about largely by the broad
