The records show tjiat the receipts were recorded in over twelve hundred items, while the disbursements cover over two hundred items. The treasurer and secretary are bonded to the association by the Fidelity & Deposit Company of Maryland for $6,000.00 each. The 1921 membership was six hundred and forty with a number of additional contributors e# amounts, less than $10.00. In this connection yfra will note that 640 members at ten dollars each would bring in only $6,400.00, while the gross amount received for memberships and contributions was $10,- 352.65. This partly expresses the arduous and persistent work done by the officers and directors in raising funds. It is not a small undertaking to raise $4,000.00 for an association of this kind and this amount was brought in over and above the ordinary membership - fees already amounting to $6,400.00. Actual gross deposits with the treasurer, including the opening balan<:# » at October 18, 1920, amounted to $17,642.73 and withdrawal orders issued on treasurer amounted to $17,- 584 04, leaving a balance available of $58.69. As indicated on the statements herewith, it was necessary to borrow $1,600.00 in order to pay current indebtedness at the end of the year.
