| Np[N good start, yet there have been

ulu not pay anything during the initial
year OF the existence of the association.

Inc total available income for the year
Just ended has been $166.O5 ascompared

ana terrin Funds $500; making the
total $166.O5.
In addition to this income, which has
passed through the hands Of your Secre-

mas accrued upon the fund given by Mrs.
Joel II. Gates, which has been transferred
at the bank directly upon the bank book
of the Treasurer of this association. max
ing the fund available at the present time
Tor immediate use something over $50.
AS comparatively few have yet paid their
dues Tor 1909, it would seem that we are
III position to do more and better work
this season than we have done in the
past.
The Association has also received dur
ing the past year from Frank Hickok a
gift of $4,000 to be kept as a perma-
nent fund and known as the Franklin K.
Hlckok fund. One-ha1f of the interest of
this fund is available for current expenses
and the other half to be allowed to ac-
to form what might be called
an emergency fund.
The Association now has four perma-
nent funds of $4,000 each.
