Summary

The February 1960 Beaver Beacon publishes the Beaver Island Civic Association’s financial report for calendar year 1959. The general fund reports $2,354.70 in expenses and $333.41 cash on hand at year end, including $500 spent as the association’s share of the new dock effort.

Evidence and limits

The report is a newspaper presentation of association figures, not an audited ledger or bank statement. OCR line breaks make some receipt labels incomplete; the totals and named purposes are recorded without reconstructing the missing accounting detail.

Open questions

  • Do association minutes, treasurer’s books, or township dock records preserve the underlying transactions?
