ACCOUNTS OF THE
LOCAL RED CROSS
war FUND HAVE
Been AUDITED

DIN HUUlIlD
I
The accounts of the Lakeland Red h,
Cross war Fund were audited last
night by committee appointed by
the Local Chapter, viz; E. N. Goode.
bookkeeper at the First National
Bank, and H. C. Stevens. These gen.
tlemen checked every item on all the
team envelopes. cash contributions
and pledges which, on account of the
number of different forms required
involved checking and rechecking, |
thus allowing no possibility of an
error upon the completion of the work.
The final report as it goes to the War
Council today, with the accompanying
certificates is as follows:
Total Cash Contributions $2,317.37
Total Pledges ............. 6,3S2.Oo
4 Total Liberty Bonds $3.50. 10000
Total ..... SS.SO9.31
Attention may be here called to the
difference between this amount and
that published at the close of the
campaign and which is explained by
the fact that on rechecking of the
pledges it was found that both the
mems team and women's team had
turned in the same pledge-one being
signed by the President and the other
by the treasurer neither of whom, OF
course. knowing the other had signed
up.
