such accounts, signed by the Treasurer, tobe forthwith de­
livered by him to the two Brethren of the Committee of Five,
not off<strong>ice</strong>rs, each one io be kept by them respectively; and
the Secretary to enter the account so signed and allowed in
the Grand Master's book. And,
The committee foreseeing that such a person, as if may be
thought proper to nominate, from time to time, to the off<strong>ice</strong>
of Treasurer upon this occasion, might, from many causes,
not always be able to attend the personal discharge of it:
and judging it reasonable, that if he requires or wants the
assistance of another, such assistant should have a suitable
reward, which, as the Treasurer himself makes no profit,
cannot be expected he should be at the charge of:—There­
fore they do further submit it as their opinion,
That if the Treasurer when appointed, shall find it neces­
sary to employ under him an assistant or clerk, he may be at
liberty so to do; such clerk or assistant to be a Brother, and
to have such allowance from time to time, by way of pound­
age, as the aforesaid Committee of Five shall think fit, out
of the moneys passing through the Treasurer's hands, not
exceeding twelve pence in the pound, without the particular
allowance and direction sf the Grand Lodge ; and this to be
charged and allowed in the Treasurer's accounts.
The committee think it necessary that every Treasurer,
upon his appointment be desired to give the earliest general
not<strong>ice</strong> he can, where he may be applied to, from time to
time, for the purposes of this charity, as need shall require.
All which they submit to your judgment and direction.
