citation is Kept.

The financial report or the SodLn
Bend Federation for Social Service.
for the year ending Oct /, 1870 has
been submitted. The report shows
some very interesting statements.
particularly as TO the distribution CT
the funds collected None Of the af-
hiiated organizations received what
they had expected but the pledge cf
one solicitation was strictly adhered
TO.
There has been Some unthinking
criticism that federated charities ex-
pend large amounts for salaries and
office expenses. Therefore the figures
given OF $2S9.30 for wages and
S227.47 for Office expenses are very
interesting A commercial business
that collected and disbursed over
$4,000 at a salary expense OF less
than So a week would be indeed for
tunate II is evident that much of
the labor necessary was cheerfully
donated by the workers.
The federation has asked for $4O,-
600 this year and present indications
are that this amount will be raised in
the time allotted, Good VIII week.
