TREASURER'S REPORT.
To the Centennial Association of Montgomery County :
It is not necessary for the Secretary and Trea- surer of your Finance Committee to explain the · plan adopted by that committee to raise the mo- ney for the expenses of the centennial anniver- sary, or the manner in which it was celebrated. You are familiar with both. The favorable con- dition of the finances proves the wisdom of the plan, and attests the care with which it was man- aged.
