 Finance Committee Report I have checked balances in Bank books with balances on other side and certify same to be correct. The Note Collection has lodged since last meeting £202.4.3. together with £95 odd lodged first days of August and is in a position to lodge to-morrow £30 odd — which he collected this evening. — This will leave the balance uncollected about £11.00 which is still high. The collector is however working hard to get in money. Signed James P. Farrell Augt. 8th. 1916 James P. Farrell Letter from James P.
