Sk. 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 twelve months ending May 81,
according to the official statement Just
made by Provincial Oflcer Colonel
William Evans.
OF this amount $1,296,7500O had
been spent on January 81 last and
there remained reserve Of 1922, 034.00
cover the amount required between
then and the end of May, making the
grand total $1,51S,784O0.
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 $100,755.1S was de-
voted, and in the purchase and erec-
tion of new buildings to accommodate
the greatly increased work of the or
ganization here. This cost 1858, 697 SO.
The debt which presented such
handicap to the work of the Army in
this, as we'll as in other provinces, was
the natural result of 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
1t 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 single an
nual Home 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.
Support of corps activities for the
eight months ending with January
took $138, 046.0O while there remained
a reserve Of $116,30000 to carry !
through May. This money covers the !
rental of buildings in places where the
Army does not own its establishments, I
lighting, heating and maintenance of Z
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, 7
stationery, telephones and printing.
Maintenance of provincial and divi- /
sIonal headquarters activities cost !
$s76, $4,000 while $105,733.O0 still re-
mains unexpended and in reserve to
maintain the work for the four remain
ing months.
These provincial and divisional head
quarters exist for the purpose of su-
pervising the work Of the corps and the |
extension and development of the Sal !
walton Army's undertakings generally :
within their territory. This expendi-
ture therefore represents the rentals
and maintenance Of buildings used for
officers and headquarters, salaries and
the expense of operating fresh air ,
camps and relief work
This PROVINCES share, $22,627, went
to bearing the expenses Of national
headquarters, while the national pen
sion fund which exists to provide for
officers who have grown old in the
service entailed the deduction of $780,
900 more from the p ind total Of the
provincial budget 4i1e women's work
for the Province took $39,973.

Province shows the following:
