President's Report ,
President Black reported that
the year had been a successful one for
the Foundation, with perhaps the
highpoint being the acquisition of a
new industrial tract later sold to
Martin Sprocket and Gear Company
which has already begun ground
work on a new industrial building.
The Treasurer’s report, present-
ed by Ables, showed a favorable
financial situation for the organiza-
tion. In the complicated accounting
world of non profit financing, the
Foundation’s total liabilities and new
worth was shown as $936,400,
although the Treasurer cautioned this
is no reflection of actual cash worth
hut did indicate an active group.
Actually, the President added,
most of the assets are matched by
^liabilities as a i----- .. ..
buildings and expanfcfon'°f industries,
on of the very purposes for which the
Foundation exists.
Black added that available re
sources are largely pledged to de-
velop new industrial sites. No officers
or Directors are compensated for
their services by the non profit Texas
product at the Twin’s Boutique, !
where she is employed. . Steve Foster, Vocational Counselqr;
