COLLECTION MADE
Record Established Through
Cooperation of Govern
ment Departments.

Collections totaling $1,148,742.92 have
been made since the recent Community
Chest campaign closed, Andrew G.
Landrus. Chest office manager, an
nounced yesterday.
Landrus said this represented the
largest percentage of collections for
this period of the year in the history
of the organization. He explained the
heavy payments were made possible by
the co-opere ton of Government de-
parments in handling their own collec-
lions.
The Office manager disclosed the
grand total of pledges to date stood at
$2,415,91892, or about $185,000 short
of the original goal. He pointed out
only slightly more than so per cent of
the total donations remained to be
paid.
Expenses Reduced.
Recent economies effected in all de-
partments Of the Chest, Landrus said,
have reduced the campaign and ad-
ministration expenses to 2 per cent, or
q third of the 6 per cent normally f1g-
ured as the years cost for this work.
Landrus said Chest organizations so
far have received $64O,61699, or 26
per cent of the total amount pledged.
He said the Association for the Pre-
vention of tuberculosis has as yet
asked for no funds, while some OF the
hospitals eligible have failed to apply
for funds pending an agreement on
the method Of final payments to hos
pitfalls.
