Board of Directors Of Y. M. C. A.
Hold a Busy Session.
YEARS. EXPENSE STATEMENT
Expense was Lighter Owing to Fact
That for Several Months ,Associa-
ton Was Without General
Secretary or Director.

A called meeting of the Board OF
Directors OF the Y. M. C. A. met
Tuesday evening, January 16, 1912. II
was for the purpose of reorganizing
the board, having the report of the
auditing committee and talking over
the finances for the current year. The
meeting resulted in the election OF
w. e. Kemble, president; w. w
Williams, vice president; l. c. John
son, secretary; Chas. r. Lee, treas
urer. z. L. Butler, L. A. Fritch and
G. s. Howard were appointed some
time ago to audit the financial re-
cords of the Y. NJ. c. A. After about
a week of careful examination they
handed their report to the board
which was considered and accepted
last Tuesday night. The report was
a very gratifying one indeed. At that
time the board voted to extend to the
committee their thanks and apprecia
ton for the good service which. they
rendered. The following statement
was presented to the board and was
carefully considered:
Total bills allowed, 1910. 81 ISL .2s

Total for 1910. S,179.2;

Difference in receipts 1901. 1,704.SS
BY way of explanation it might BIZ
said that the expense of the aSsocia
ton has been very much smaller thar
other years because of the fact tina
for four or five months during thu
summer We were without genera
secretary and physical director
Neither have the repairs to the build
ing been so great. The receipts have
been very much smaller, too. Thi!
is due to the fact that the auditor
ium has not been rented since the
summer months. The subscription
and memberships were not pushed a!
hard as in other years.
The board was very much pleased
with the above statement and wa!
agreed upon the thought that the as
ISOLATION was in much better condi
ton financially than it has been fol
several years.
Mr.. Henness, our general secretary
who has been in the hospital in OF
tumwa for several weeks, is getting
along nicely, but will not be back tt
his work for several weeks yet. But
the fact that he is improving nicely
is one that his friends in Oskalooss
will be very glad to hear. Three
days of this week were spent by the
board of directors in raising subscrip
lions to the Y. NJ. C. A. for the cur
rent year. The board desires tt
thank the good people of the city fol
the good feeling toward the associa
ton and their liberal subscriptions
The board as it has gone from mar
to man this week has explained its
mission and in nearly every instance
has been given a subscription.
The association has a big place tC
fill in the lives of our young men and
boys, and this is only made possible
as good people come to the support
This they have done nicely. May
this be record breaker in more ways
than one.
