Ev. Luth. Synod of Missouri, Ohio, and Other States. 1932. 231:

The entire bookkeeping in the Treasurer’s office during the trien- °
nium just closed, also the annual balance-sheets and of course the
oregoing triennial balance-sheet, is the work of Synod’s Financial
~ Secretary, Mr. Theo. W. Eckhart, and his assistants. The triennial
. balance-sheet is prepared along the same lines as that of 1929 in order .
to facilitate comparisons.
: Messrs. A. G. Brauer, R. H. Leonhardt. W. H. Schlueter, and
: Louis H. Waltke, and unofficially also Mr. Richard H. Waltke and.
- W.H. Kroehnke, have again rendered valuable services as the com-
: mittee controlling the Treasurer’s investments. The fact. that few
" investments were made, especially during the latter part of this -
: triennium, increased rather than decreased their labors because of
the very irregular condition of the investment market. ;
: One of the members of the Fiduciary Committee, which com-
: mittee consists of Messrs. E. Schuettner, Chas. J. Burde, and R. Bor- .
renpohl, has faithfully attended the Treasurer every time he had to
“ visit Synod’s deposit boxes. .
: The services of Mr. Geo. Eigel have been engaged as counsel, |
to succeed Mr. S. T.G. Smith, who died shortly before our last con- ;
: vention. ;
; Synod’s Auditing Committee (Wm. Lottmann, chairman, O. E.
: Fischer, and W. H. Roschke) through Synod’s official auditor, A. W.
: Huge, have kept the books and the transactions of your Treasurer

‘under continuous audit. Their reports will be separately submitted —

» to Synod. Respectfully,

E. Seven, Treasurer.

Concerning this report Committee 18 brought in these recommen- -
-dations : —

-of the increased legacy receipts during the past triennium and that it
jat the same time suggest to District officials that this form of offering
be given more publicity.
: Your Committee recommends that Synod express its.appreciation..
sof, and thanks for, the valuable services rendered by the members of
¥ Synod’s Investment and Fiduciary. Committees. .
