Sinking Fund Commissioners Report. 

O M A H A , N E K . , May ist, 1895. 

To the Tenth Supreme Council, Catholic Knights of America: 
D E A R S I R S A N D B R O T H E R S — W e respectfully submit this, 

our report, as the Sinking Fund Commissioners, Catholic Knights 
of America, and embrace therein a summarized statement of the 
fund from its creation on J u l y 1 , 1885, to May 1 , 1895. 

T h e total amount o L the Sinking F u n d at this date is $270,-
630.56, consisting of $169,300 in town and county bonds, $ 1 0 1 , 0 0 0 in 
U. S . bonds, and $630.56 cash in Ohio Valley National Bank, of 
Cincinnati, Ohio; One $500 L y o n County, K y . , bond; also* is on 
deposit with the Fidelity Trust and Safety Vault Co., of Louisville, 
K y . ( for redemption, as per terms agreed upon J u n e 8, 1892, from 
which we will realize about $250. 

W e have $2,000 Kentucky and Indiana Bridge C o . ' s bonds, 
purchased April 29, 1886. This company defaulted in the pay-
ment of interest on these bonds September 1893, ar*d its affairs are 
now in the hands of receivers appointed by the court. T h e bonds 
are considered good, and their payment certain. Interest has been 
paid up to and including September, 1894; March coupon of 
1895 being unpaid. Letters from the receivers state that as yet 
no steps have been taken looking towards a re-organization of the 
company. 

F i v e L a k e County, Ohio, bonds, Nos. 17, 18, 19, 20 and 2 1 , 
value $500 each, become dlie and payable J u l y 1 , 1895. 

T h e income derived from the Sinking Fund this date amounts 
to $ 1 2 , 4 6 0 annually—being $8,420 from town and county bonds, 
and $4,040 from 4 per cent U. S. bonds.

All purchases of bonds are made through our depository, the 
Ohio V a l l e y National B a n k , at the lowest market rates, without 
any additional charge by the bank. All coupons are also collected 
b y this bank, without expense to the Order. 

Fraternally yours,
