     2. Financial Re-port.

     The Business Agent submitted following report:

          Ov~ing to the early date of this meeting, I am unable
     to make the usual financial statement for the preceding
     month,   However, there has been little change in the
     financial situation and our expenditures are running con-
     sistently wi-,th the original budget appropriations.  Col_
     lections of fees do not indicate that there will be .ny
     change in the estirmate I heretofore made of a reduction
     in the budgeted income of 813,000.   I think on the
     whole that, if wc keep expenditures within the budget, we
     will be able to live within the reduced income.
