NOTE.

It being the desire of the committee to secure ready reference to all the statements supplied to them at this time, letters and communications containing statistics or facts which have come to them directly or been referred have been inserted. To save space and because many were duplicates addressed to several members, these have been taken as addressed to the committee, and by request in some instances, and under direction in others, all personal matters omitted.
