The financial statement, was read
by the General Manager, showing the
status of their association on April
80, 1915. AS there were 49 cars yet
to through the books the statement
could not for that reason include the
complete records for the year, but
estimating the revenue from the 49
cars yet to be cleared through the
books, the revenue account shows
something over $1,000 unused, which
owing to the small tonnage market
ed this season, by reason of the
heavy losses at the time of picking
from the wind, and the losses accru-
ing later on in the various air stor-
ages, cut the total number of cars
down to 3S7 as against 513 the year
before With these facts under con-
sideration the financial report and
the expense Of operation were con-
sidered more that Satisfactory and
the following resolution was unani-
mously passed:
RESOLVED that the report be
accepted and that the management
and employees be commended for
the efficient handling of the past
seasons business.
There were three districts whose
Directors term of office expired,
namely: Fruitland, New Plymouth
and Boise and it was gratifying to
note that these same Directors were

A discussion was indulged in on
Il e question of seasons pool on
the part of all district associations
On all fruits passing thru the Sub
Central Delegates of the Payette
District desired to pool by districts
but as the rules of the Association
grants the privilege to any member
to withdraw from the seasons pool
by giving notice prior to August 1st.
of their desire to do so and it was
felt that ample provision had been
made and therefore the motion for
a district seasons pool was laid on
the table.
The delegates enjoyed a general
of matters of interest per
tanning to the respective districts in
he various localities and the meet
ing adjourned at 4:30 P. M. with a
more optomistic feeling prevailing
among the delegates than has ever
heretofore been shown. ALI were
convinced that the AS
sociation was making good headway
and that the amended Bylaws of
the Distributors, whereby each Sub
Central becomes an intregal part
Of the Distributors was a splendid
move in the right direction. All
We're gratified to learn the. effect
of this move was to give the diff
ferent Sub-Centrals and the whole
move stronger tone with the ban
kers, and the fact was greatly ap-
preciated that the North Pacific !,
Fruit Distributors had already made
ample arrangements for banking &C
for the coming season
as up to the present time $175,000.
