There was nothing said about It whatever, neither was there any Jug. filing of the books. "The executive commltee examined the treasurer's report and the secretary's" book, and found that they were correct and that they Included the. 11,321. The report was not given to cover up any action of the Lincoln Commercial club. That was fully aired In the papers a year ago and waa not a part of his ad ministration. It was all sttledup under the previous administration.

Tile enrollment this year waa 4,632 as reported at the close of the meeting. "There wa a slight change In the le port as given by the treasurer, leaving the enrollment somewhere between 4.C20 and 4,632, he does not remember the exact number. Therti wbb no charge of fraud made by any member of the exveu time committee against his report.
