$ 5885.00" Explanations: Item #1. This amount is prescribed in the State Law. Item #2. This item was reduced last year. We feel

It should: remain at this amount. Item #3. The reason is to reiterate last year's com

ments :-Toreduce this activity and expense would be temporary in as much as certain periods of year would necessitate additional extra help. From experience and past records in this, the ultimate results would be nearly same expenditure with office being only occas-sionally open. The revenue being derived from Funeral Directors of the State we feel they are entitled to full time service. We therefore recommend the present policy be continued.
