„Ihre Reviſionscommiſſion hat die Bücher und Kaſſen des Allgemeinen
Kaſſirers revidirt und richtig befunden. — Zum weiteren Verſtändniß des
vorſtehenden Berichtes diene das Folgende. Die Kaufſumme für die An⸗
ſtalt in St. Paul, Minn., iſt nunmehr völlig aus dem Ertrag des Barthel⸗
Estate gedeckt. Das Letztere beſteht nun nur noch aus einem Grundeigen⸗
thum im Innern der Stadt, welches nach mäßiger Schätzung einen Werth
von $18,000.00 hat und monatlich etwa $118.00 an Miethe einbringt,
bisher aber nicht zu annehmbarem Preiſe hat verkauft werden können. Die
Antheilſcheine an einem Commiſſionsgeſchäft in der Höhe von $11,000.00,
welche der Synode aus dem Barthel⸗Estate übertragen waren, ſind durch
Bankerott der Firma gänzlich werthlos geworden.

„Die jetzige Schuld der Synode betrug am 1. Februar dieſes Jahres
$23,723.97 gegen $5237.36 beim letzten Abſchluß am 1. April des
Jahres 1896, zeigt alſo eine Zunahme von $18,486.61. Dieſe Zu⸗
nahme der Schuld erklärt ſich daraus, daß die Einnahmen nicht mit den in
den letzten drei Jahren namentlich durch Uebernahme der Progymnaſien
vermehrten Ausgaben gleichen Schritt gehalten haben. Die nachſtehende
Zuſammenſtellung gibt ein Bild von der Finanzlage der Synode in den
letzten fünf Triennien.

"Your Auditing Commission has audited the books and accounts of
the General Treasurer and found them correct. — For a fuller
understanding of the foregoing report, let the following serve. The
purchase price for the institution at St. Paul, Minn., is now fully
covered by the proceeds of the Barthel Estate. The latter now
consists only of a piece of real estate in the heart of the city,
which, by a moderate appraisal, has a value of $18,000.00 and brings
in about $118.00 a month in rent, but so far could not be sold at an
acceptable price. The shares in a commission business amounting to
$11,000.00, which had been transferred to the Synod from the Barthel
Estate, have become entirely worthless through the bankruptcy of the
firm.

"The Synod's present debt on February 1 of this year amounted to
$23,723.97, as against $5237.36 at the last closing on April 1, 1896,
showing thus an increase of $18,486.61. This increase in the debt is
explained by the fact that income has not kept pace with the
expenditures increased in the last three years, particularly through
the taking over of the preparatory schools [Progymnasien]. The
following table gives a picture of the Synod's financial position
over the last five trienniums.
