452 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS ( Thursday,
/ Nov. 20. 1913.
We therefore recommend that the sum of $125,770.00, or so much
thereof as may be necessary, be appropriated to provide for the purposes
above named, and that the Grand Master and the Grand Secre-
tary be authorized to draw Grand Lodge warrants on the Grand Treas-
urer therefor, at such times and in such amounts as may be necessary
to pay the legitimate bills of the Grand Lodge as itemized accounts
therefor may be presented. We therefore recommend that a per capita
tax of one dollar ($1.00) per member be levied against the Subordinate
Lodges, fifty cents (50 cents) to be payable April 1, 1914, and fifty cents
(50 cents) to be payable October 1, 1914.
Signed by the Committee.
Which was adopted.

CORRECTION.
In order to keep within the law. Article 8, Section 5. which pro-
"That there shall never be appropriated from such capitation tax
for any one fiscal year a sum to exceed seventy-five cents per capita
tax for the Odd Fellows' Orphans' Home and the Odd Fellows' Old
Folks' Home for maintenance and all expenses of such Homes."
the Finance Committee would suggest that the appropriation, Old
Folks' Home building be made to read $5,000.00 instead of $7,000.00.
which would make the total disbursements in this budget $123,770.00
instead of $125,770.00. and make the estimated balance $18,447.93. in-
stead of $16,447.93.
Geo. F. Koester.
