CONTINGENT ASSETS.

There may be an appropriation made at next session of Congress
  to pay amount due Louisiana Purchase Exposition Company on
  account of Philippine exhibit, which amounts to ............ $100,000.00

(This is so uncertain that it can not be counted as a probable asset.)

NOTE.—­In the assets is listed trustees’ fund, $182,846.41.  This amount is not at present an available asset, for the reason that it is a trust fund placed to secure bondsmen for ground rent and other purposes, and may be partially or totally absorbed for the reimbursement of bondsmen who may be defendants in suits that may be instituted.
