-----------
Total ........................................ 136,775.33
We have checked the insurance receipts with the report of the
agents of the policies canceled and of the amount of return
premiums due the company thereon.
We have agreed the receipts from the refrigerating plant, which
represent the company's proportion of the profits on the
operation thereof, with the report of the manager. A final audit
of the books of the plant is now being made by the Exposition
Company, and it is possible that a small further sum will be
received on this account.
We counted the garbage books remaining on hand and satisfied
ourselves that the number thereof, together with the number
reported as sold, made up the total number originally received.
The remainder of the receipts included under this head consists
of various incidental receipts which it is not possible to
verify completely.
Salvage.
This amount is made up as follows:
Contract price for salvage sold to Chicago House
Wrecking Company ............................ $450,000.00
Less amount not yet due or paid ............... 150,000.00
------------
300,000.00
Resale of cars and motors under original
purchase contract with St. Louis Car Company 158,667.25
Miscellaneous sales ........................... 4,198.03
------------
Total ....................................... 462,865.28
We have verified the two large items with the original
contracts.
Special Fund.
We have not been able to obtain a detailed statement of the
badge fund, which represents deposits made by employees in
respect of badges issued to them, and it is probable that the
greater part of this sum has been refunded and charged through
various departments to other accounts.
The pay-roll fund represents unclaimed wages and has been agreed
with a detailed list submitted to us.
Disbursements.
Properly approved vouchers have been produced to us for all
disbursements except as regards two payments aggregating
$252.45, the vouchers for which have, we understand, been
mislaid.
