(Bericht des Allgemeinen Kaſſirers, Herrn E. F. W. Meier.)

„Ihre vor drei Jahren ernannte Reviſionscommiſſion erlaubt ſich, der
Ehrw. Synode mitzutheilen, daß ſie die Bücher des Generalagenten, ſowie
die des Allgemeinen Kaſſirers mit deren Jahresberichten verglichen und ge⸗
funden hat, daß ſie übereinſtimmen.

„Die Art und Weiſe, in welcher die Bücher beider geführt werden, läßt
nichts zu wünſchen übrig, da ſie im Einklange mit den beſten kaufmänniſchen
Regeln iſt. Sowohl der Allgemeine Kaſſirer als auch der Generalagent ſind
fähige und gewiſſenhafte Beamte.

„Einen Vorſchlag möchte ſich Ihre Commiſſion erlauben, welcher der
zu wählenden Reviſionscommiſſion zu gute kommen würde. Unter den ob⸗
waltenden Umſtänden iſt es der Reviſionscommiſſion unmöglich, die Ein⸗
nahme des Allgemeinen Kaſſirers zu controliren. Die von den Diſtricts⸗
kaſſirern eingeſandten Gelder laſſen ſich zwar genau feſtſtellen, aber nicht
die aus anderen Quellen kommenden Gelder. Wir glauben, daß eine voll⸗
ſtändige Controle möglich wäre, wenn die Ehrw. Synode den Allgemeinen

(Report of the General Treasurer, Mr. E. F. W. Meier.)

"Your Revision Committee, appointed three years ago, takes the liberty
of informing the Reverend Synod that it has compared the books of the
General Agent, as well as those of the General Treasurer, with their annual
reports, and has found that they agree.

"The manner in which the books of both are kept leaves nothing to be
desired, since it is in accordance with the best business practices. Both the
General Treasurer and the General Agent are competent and conscientious
officers.

"Your Committee would like to permit itself one suggestion, which
would benefit whichever Revision Committee is elected. Under the present
circumstances it is impossible for the Revision Committee to audit the
income of the General Treasurer. The moneys sent in by the district
treasurers can indeed be precisely verified, but not the moneys coming
from other sources. We believe that a complete check would be possible if
the Reverend Synod were to instruct the General
