Secretary Tout, of the Chautauqnn association, has mailed to stockholders a statement of the receipts and dis bursements of the 1911 assembly. Tho total receipts were $2,569.13, and tho expenses $2,960.39, leaving a deficit of $391.26. To meet this deficit an assess ment of $3.50 on each of the 116 shares has been levied. Last season 498 sea son tickets were sold to adults at $2.00 each, and 145 to children at $1.00 each; also ninety-nine teachers','seasontickctB at $1.00 each and three family tickets at eight dollars each. In addition 3,794 adult and 544 children's single ndmission tickets were sold. The total admission receipts were $2,294.10, and the re maining $275.03 of the receipts came from the snle of chairs, rent of tents, concessions nnd advertising in the Chau tauqua Herald. The expense of the program. which included the speakers and music was $1,895, the tents and grounds cost $655. 13, printing, advertising, postage and mailing $329.08. and incidentals $81.18. A meeting of the stockholders is called for February 8th at tho court house, and'at this meeting it will bo decided whether an assembly will be held in 1912. Tho 116 shnrcs of stock is held by about forty, and whether they will again subject themselves to another possible assessment to make good such deficit ns may occur depends on "how rich" they may feel or how "patriotic" they are toward tho general uplift of the community. Each year tho Chau tauqua has been held tho stockholders have been called upon to "make good" a deficit. They may feel that it is time for others to shoulder tho burden of financial loss.
