The present corporation received from the old corporation, which ceased
to exist by virtue of the act approved January 5, 1905, a quantity of
miscellaneous literature and incomplete records which have been of very
little value; also a few articles of furniture. The treasurer received
the sum of $291.89 and a notice of indebtedness of $1,250, contracted to
pay a claim of Francis Atwater for printing and postage for the old
corporation. This indebtedness has since been paid from the proceeds of
the sale of lots 14, 15, 16, and 17, block 25, Kalorama Heights. These
lots were the property of the American National Red Cross, and were sold
on January 11, 1904, by the then president of the American National Red
Cross, to Cogan Bros. & Forschner for the sum of $16,500. Monthly
payments of the purchase money were to be made according to the quantity
of stone removed from the property, with a minimum monthly payment of
$200. Five thousand and seventy-five dollars had been paid before
transfer to the present corporation. Four thousand three hundred and
twelve dollars has since been paid, leaving a balance due of $7,113.
The trusteeship of the property that was formerly held by Charles A.
Baker and S. W. Briggs has been transferred and is now held by Charles
Hallam Keep and James C. McReynolds.
The corporation has now no outstanding debts, but a suit has been
brought against it by Hugh Ross in the superior court of Santa Barbara,
Cal., for the sum of $990 for alleged services rendered and material
supplied the old corporation at Manila in 1900. The suit is being
defended by the counselor of the corporation.
