ASK TREASURY WORKERS
TO MAKE UP $1,000 LOSS
Books of Cooperative Store, Which
Failed, Being Audited to De-
termine Cause

An appeal to all employees of the
Treasury Department has been made
for voluntary subscriptions to make
up the deficit, amounting to about
$1,000. incurred by the Treasury CO.
operative store during the fourteen
and half months it was in opera
ton.
An audit of the books is now being
made to determine in what way the
large deficit was incurred, the au-
ditors checking up each days bust
ness. This work is now a little more
than half completed.
Although there were 4,524 members
of the store. who paid an initial fee Of
IS, the plea for funds to enable the
enterprise to close it's books without
leaving any unpaid debts is being made
to all employees OF the department. The
matter is being handled by a committee
representing the members of the CO.
operative store. and though the first ap-
peal was made only yesterday, the re-
sponse. it was said today, has been
prompt.
The store opened for business October
IS, 1919. and closed December 90 1920
During that time it's sales amounted to
$4,000. At no time, 1t appears from
incomplete audits already made, did the
profits amount to enough to meet the
overhead charges and natural shrinkage
of the foodstuffs handled.
