     The Committee to whom was referred the report of the
Treasurer made the following report.

     To the Chairman of the Board of Trustees.
The Committee appointed by the Board to audit the accounts
of the Treasurer have the honor to report that they have
performed the duty assigned to them. We have not had the
means of verifying the statement of the sums received by the
Treasurer from the State Audit or the statement of the expendi-
tures we find to be correct in amount excepting on over charge
of one dollar upon one of the vouchers and to be sustained
by order drawn on the Treasurer by the Chairman and secretary
of the Executive Committee in favor of the claimants upon the
Treasury. Some of the vouchers were found to be deficient
in the signature of either the Chairman or secretary of the
Executive Committee and some lacked the endorsement of the
person in whose favor the order was drawn, but these defects
were subsequently corrected.



     We suggest that for the future all temporary formalities
shall be observed as strictly as possible.
