notwithstanding which all communications requir-
in1 replies have been promptly answered.
Much of the correspondence has consisted OF in
quires as to Interpretation of the Rules and Regu-
lations, which would be unnecessary if comrades
referred to opinions of Judge Advocates-Generai,
decisions of Commanders-in- Chief and resolutions
of the National Encampment
The publication of the Blue Book" by Past
Commander-in-C Chief II. b. Beath will no doubt
curtai this class of correspondence as soon as 1t
shall have become generally circulated. A copy
should be in every Post in the Order.
II is respectfully recommended that Department.
Commanders keep supply at Department Head
quarters for sale 10 Posts and comrades, and that
copy be included in the supplies of every Post or
ganIZed.
SUPPLIES.
Soon after you assumed command competition
was invited in furnishing supplies for National
Headquarters. The large reduction thereby made
was met by corresponding decrease in prices
charged by the Quartermaster General, and has re-
suited in the saving of handsome amount to
Departments.
DEPARTMENT CHARTERS.
The Department OF New York and Kansas ap-
piled TO these Headquarters during the past year
for certified copies of their respective charters the
originals having been lost or destroyed.
No records of charters being in existence 1t was
impossible TO comply with their request.
1t is respectfully recommended that the 10Th Ma
tional Encampment by resolution authorize the
incoming Commanuer-ln-Chef 10 issue to Depart
ments whose charters may have been lost or de-
stroyed charters bearing date of their respect
i've organizations, q record made of all existing
Department charters and of those hereafter issued,
from which certificates duplicates can he made,
should future occasion require.
DELINQUENCY IN REPORTS.
This subject has been special theme in the
reports of Adjutants-General and Assistant AdJu-
tants-General since the organization of the Grand
Army of the Republic 1t is the cause of more un-
necessary labor and veXatous controversy than all
other questions combined, aud eXerts a more banc-
ful influence on Posts and membership than any
question in our Order The Rules and Regulations
impose upon Post Commanders the duty of
fhrffn fli tnrw
this duty is included in the obligation they assume
upon their installation.
1t is no arduous task to properly make a Post
report and mail it to Department Headquarters on
the last meeting night of each quarter. Rules and
Regulations extend the limit of time TO the 10th
day of the following month. Notwithstanding the
ample time allowed, Posts delinquent, some
for one quarter, some for two quarters, and many
have made reports for year past
