isfactory. Also, that the Ii iluida-
ton of the old serial stock and the
methods OF the Dayton pan are
working out as had been antici-
pated by your Officers and Direc-
tors.
One of the indications of the ia
vor with which the new plan is
meeting is the fact that instead Of
carving the heavy cash balance Oi
about x5O,OOl the cash balance Of
the Association now usually ap-
proximatea $4,000. In fact, whitt
your receipts are large, being, ex-
elusive of the cash balance at the
beginning Of the year and the bor-
rowed money, over 1864, 900, your
Association has been compelled to
borrow during the year, $4,000.
This loan together with $4,000 Of
the $4,000 note carried on the pre-
vious statement, has been paid
leaving outstanding notes OF the
Association on January lat, 1912,
$500. It is with pleasure thAt ]
can add that this amount has since
been paid.
The paid up stock Of the AssOcia-
ton is greater than at any pre-
vious time, being, on January lst
StO9, 400 despite the fact that dur
ing the past year shares Of this
stock to the amount Of $4,000 were

1t is the policy OF your Di-
rectors tu create, as rapidly az
il consistent with the payment o
a fair dividend, a healthy contin-
gent fund. You will therefore no
tice that although the Dayton plan
has been i'm existence only three
years the contingent fund amounts
to slightly in excess Of $4,000
There is less liability Of loss un
der the Dayton plan than under the
Serial plan, but as the contingent
fund created during the existence
of the Seriai stock is playing such
an important part in it's liquidation
we feel that it is wise to begin inn
mediately to create a contingent
fund, thereby strengthening your
Association.
Another cause Of satisfaction It.

building Associations make loans
on real estate it is not their policy
to acquire property. and whenever
this item is large in the reports Of
healthy condition.
Az expectedi the assets Of your
association have each year been
somewhat reduced since the adop-
ton Of the Dayton plan. due to the
rapid liquidation by the maturing
and withdrawal OF the Serial stock
They amount in round numbers, to
half 4 million dollars.
You will nottrr the difference of
about 100000 IN your receipts for
1910 and those Of 1911. This is due
principally to two items. namely.
Bills Payable and Serial Loans. the
receipts from which aggregate.
for 1910, over $4,000. During the
year 1911 these two items aggre-
gated something over $4,000, a diff
ference Of about $4,000. The
heavy receipts during the preced-
ing year was attributable to the
Ii tsidatiou of Serial stock and
loans. You will therefore see that
the differences in the 5eceipts was
caused by an unusual condition
arising from the change in the
chl,rter.
During the year four series Of
stock, Nos. 81, IS. So and go, have
been liJuidated, representing in
cash and property over SiO7 900.
Series 81 is to be liluidated this
month.
In March OF this year. the iberia
Building Association will have
reached the quarter of a century
mark, having been organized in
March. LEST. Few institutions, and
none i'm our Parish, can boast OF a
largen measure Of success. While
the original charter has been sew
eral times amended, and while the
last change was very radical, the
principle of cooper
alton has been maintained. And
here I would mention that amend
ments will be submitted at this
meeting for your consideration
to Articles I, 8, and 9 of the Char
ter. While not far reaching or Of
material effect, we think the rtO-
posed alterations will be OF ad-
vantage.
The election OF board of 4i-
rectors for 1912 was then declared
in order, resulting in the re-elec-
ton of the old board, without
change.
The amendments to the charter
were next presented separately
and each was adopted without OPP

But one was brave enough to speak
Miss Caroline Thummel, attorney and

most any age,

San Diego, Cal, is said. to be the

of waste land, a heritage from the

Eucalyptus is very valuable and
takes the place Of many Of the more
familiar hardwoods that are becoming
so expensive; it grows with truly trop-
ical rapidity; it will stand an enor-
nous amount Of cutting and seems to
thrive under it, and a grove once well
started apparently will last forever.
In San Diego, says the Survey, the
more optimistic taxpayers are looking
forward to a time when the forest will
relieve them of all taxes and perhaps
even pay them for being citizens of
San Diego! They are not the only
people in an American city to be con-
graduated on doing good municipal
business.
