Treasurer's Report Shows

or in Part
LETTER TO BE SENT
TO DELINQUENTS

and in Most Cases No Reason is APP
parent Why They Should Not Pay
Subscribers to Get List.
A meeting of the general committee
of the Brattleboro War Chest associa-
tion was held in the board of trade
rooms last evening to consider plans for
closing the affairs of the organization.
After a thorough discussion of the sit
uation it was decided to make an ef-
fort to collect all unpaid pledges before
July ] so that a detailed statement of
the association 5 affairs may be given to
subscribers as near that date as pos
sible:
Figures compiled by the treasurer
showed that 1924 pledges remained
partially or wholly unpaid. The chair
man of the general committee, J. III. Es-
tey, was authorized to appoint a special
committee to draft a letter to be sent TO
delinquent subscribers, who will be
asked to state their reasons for not hav-
ing fulfilled their pledges. After these
reasons have been considered by the
concentrations to the general committee.
Names of persons who through illness or
misfortune have been unable to meet
their pledges or have removed from
town viii be dropped from the list of
delinquents which it is planned TO in
clude in the final report to subscribers.
While the war chest has distributed
something over S53, 900 since its organi-
zation in March, 1918, the fact that up
to a few weeks ago more than 1,000 per-
sons had failed to meet their obliga-
tions is a matter of no little concern and
annoyance to the officers of the asso-
ciation- These persons, it is felt, have
bought immunity from solicitation dur
ing the past year or more without pay
ing what they promised to for that inn
munity. In a few cases no doubt there
are circumstances which warrant re-
lease from all further liability. but in
the majority there appears to be no
good reason why the delinquent sub
scribers should not be held to their
promises, which were accepted in good
faith by those who took Them

Solution of the problem of sup
