REDUCTIONS FAIL _ TOHURT ORDERS . Lil Take the Cuts With Grace and Operate Successfully, Report Shows. Monthly statements issued by the Becretary's ofice of the Community Chest as of the end of August shows that $3,415.03 in pledges was paid in during August and that a total of z.m.n remains to be collected. In ; last eight months of the \fsca} year, ending April 30th, statement sBows a cash balance of $5,231.91 of which $3,592.47 was credited to the warious receiving institutions cover-- Ing monthly quotas which have not been used but which are available subject to the call of the organiza-- tions to whom they are credited. "Phis leaves a net cash balance in 'h Treasury of the Community Chest 'of $1.639.44, which in addition to the more than $36,000.00 to be eollected pledges, is able to take care of all &:firementi of all receiving institu-- s for the balance of the fiscal year when all pledges are fully pald. _ It is interesting to note the bene ztl which the business operation of e Community Chest has secured $or the public, as well as the welfare Snstitutions. \ "When budgets were submitted last "winter, the Community Chert Cabt ®et reduced them in every way come 'patible with sound business judg-- ment.

In spite of these two 'godumiom it is to be seen that prac-- Mically every welfare Institution has 'eperated <well within the reduced 'budcet as well as taking care of prev-- Aous obligations and «till have a bal. gnco to their credit, ranging from he lowest amount of $58.17, in the *case of the Y.
