S. A. ACCOUNTS FOR
FUNDS COLLECTED
IN LAST CAMPAIGN
Colonel William Evans Makes
Public Financial Statement
for 20 K" Province.


lars will have been spent by the Saliva
ton Army In the 20. K" Province dur
ing the tweIve months ending May 81,
according. to the official statement Just
made by Provincial Of1cer Colonel
William Evans.
OF this amount s1,296,750.00 had
been spent on January 81 last and
there remained a reserve Of 1926, 034.00
to cover the amount required between
then and the end Of May, making the
grand total $1,51s,7s4.o0.
The greatest demand made upon the
funds available for this province,
which includes Ohio, Western Pennsyl-
vania, Kentucky, West Virginia and
Tennessee, was in the liquidation Of
mortgages on the property Of the
Army, to which S10O,755.1S was de-
voted, and In the purchase and erec-
ton Of new buildings to accommodate
the greatly increased work Of the or
ganiEation here. This cost $58s, 697.59.
The debt which presented such q
handicap to the work Of the Army In
this, as well as In other provinces, was
the natural result of a long period Of
sacrifice, open-handed charity and in
sufficient support. For years it has
been the custom throughout the coun-
try to send the needy to the Salvation
Army where they always have receiV-
ed prompt and cheerful help; but 1t
was too often overlooked that some re-
turn was absolutely essential If the
institution was to maintain its feet.
The necessary support was formerly
not forthcoming in the offerings cast
into the tambourine passed In meet
ings and the Army has until now found
it imperative to mortgage its property
in order to secure money for the car
rying on of the work. This old order
changed for the better last year when
the new plan Of making a single an
nVaI HONG Service Appeal to the
whole country was adopted and when,
for the first time IN Its history, the
Army was enabled to liquidate any
considerable amount Of its debts and
to pay the full salary Of its officers,
scanty though that is. ,---,s:~~ss,'
Support Of corps activities for the
eight months ending with January
took $13S, 046.00 while there remained
a reserve Of sl16S00.OO to carry
through May. This money covers the
rental of buildings In places where the
Army does not own its adjustments,
lighting, heating and maintenance Of
these places as well as those actually
owned by the organization, covers the
salaries paid the workers in this prov,
ince and includes travelling. expenses
stationery, telephones and printing.
Maintenance of provincial and divi
sional headquarters activities cost

perVising the work Of the corps and the
extension and development of the Sal

within their territory. This expendi
ture therefore represents the rentals
and maintenance of buildings used fol-

This PROVINCES share, $22,627, went
to bearing the expenses of national

service entailed the deduction Of $50,

provincial budget. The women's work
for the Province took $39,973.
