Obviously these deficits did not arise suddenly except in the pool account which more or less recently shows a loss as against several years previous operation. Then, too, have the officers or Board of Directors done anything to stimulate attendance and patronage at the club or control the higher expenses that vre: vail especially in the kitchen and dining . room1 Among other things, it is hardly conducive to a, tendance and patronage at the club, to enter there and find the steward asleep in one of the chairs in either the bar or the receptio-n ruo or to have those coming to patronize the dining room, especially ladies, greeted by him in his shirt sleeves in each and every room of the club. The schedule of prices in the dininL, room is not high; the portions served patrons are not small. I respectfully submit that a report on improvemnt of pertinent features of the service and control of expense at the club should be available concurrent tith any request for funds from members, :ours very trd1
