TREASURER'S REPORT
COBB CO. RED CROSS

NV records and the records of the
branch treasurers up to their last
reports to me showed total money
handled $3,760.00.
The generous pledges to the Red
Cross War Fund last summer amount
ed to S2,116.00 1t is gratifying to
report that every dollar of this was
maid. One-fourth, $4,000, was ex-
pended for materials out of which
our good women produced bandages,
sheets. shirts and others hospital
equipment. Three-fourths, $l,587.UO'
was sent on to Washington. The
fees for four life memberships at
$25 each went to Washington. From
various donations and benefits the
Chapter has received $474.00. The
funds received from dues during the
Christmas drive amount to 100000.
Each branch outside of Marietta has
its share and the other share has been
RENTED to headquarters.
The affairs of the Chapter have
been economically administered. All
services have been volunteer-no
pay. The amount spent for printed
forms, postage, telegraph and tele-
phone is only $18.16.
All amounts due headquarters and
due branches are paid. We have
cash in the treasury $2O4.37 and 5000
worth of wool just received. All of
the $204.37 belongs to Marietta
Each branch has some funds in their
local treasury. 1t has been our rule
to allow each branch the full share
of their dues which we are allowed
to retain for chapter purposes.
