The Chair: We will now have the report of the treasurer of the General Conference. Brother Daniells will make the report. GCB April 1, 1903, page 33.11

A. G. Daniells: It was arranged that the treasurer should come, but, owing to the very severe illness of his wife, he was unable to do so; and two or three days after reaching Oakland, we received a telegram from Brother Mitchell that his wife had very suddenly passed away. The committee sent to him a telegram of sympathy and condolence. We regret very much that Brother Mitchell could not have come out, had the rest from the confinement he has had for two years, and have been with us during this Conference. This will make it necessary for some one else to submit the treasurer’s report. As I talked the matter over with him very carefully before I left, perhaps I am as thoroughly acquainted with the details of the report that he has submitted as any one else, so I will present it. He was compelled to leave one item somewhat indefinite, and that was the amount due laborers, for we had not audited the accounts when we left Battle Creek. Since coming to Oakland, the committee has audited all the accounts of laborers, and so we have been able to make it definite as to the amount that is due the laborers, and this gives us a complete and accurate balance sheet.

The treasurer’s report, the balance sheet, and the auditor’s report were then read. GCB April 1, 1903, page 33.13
