Document No. 26:
We beg to report that the Finance Committee have examined the
itemized account of the Grand Master, of money paid to various par-
ties for conducting his schools of instruction and official visitations,
and find the total of $1,285.65 properly accounted for. We do not, how-
ever, approve of this method of drawing money for schools of instruc-
tion or official visitations, and would suggest that in the future vouch-
ers be drawn in favor of the individual members for their expendi-
tures in participating in the schools of instruction or making official
visitations. Respectfully submitted.

On resolution introduced, Document No. 5, Grand Lodge Temple,

by the resolution, if in their judgment it seems best, and your
committee desires to be relieved from further consideration of the
same.
