ROBERT J. CooT, chairman.
The above report was adopted, 50
far a. il does not conflict with the fol-
lowing amendment TO the constitution
article twenty-scyen, is changed to read
as follows: The delegates attending
this grange shall be allowed for tray
cling expenses five cents per mile, TO
be computed by the nearest practical
route. and 500 per day while attend
ing the state grange"
The Scdgwick county delegation did
all in their power to reduce amount OF
allowance to actual expenses, but failed
to accomplish it. We feel sure, how
ever. that no good patron will take
any more than his actual and necessary
expenses.
