I estimate that the net amount of the excess will be from $1,000 to $2,000 which can be applied to the reduction of the obligation to the estate of our late President General Johnson. This obligation was created when Compatriot Johnson advanced $10,000 to meet a mortgage payment. Therefore, this is in reality part of the debt on National Headquarters. The original amount has been gradually reduced until now it is but $6,000. The necessity for paying $1,000 each year into the sinking fund to redeem the-Certificates of Indebtedness made it necessary to The 47th Annual Congress to Be cut our budget "to the bone."
