Marcus L. Reynolds, president of the Odd Fellows home made the follow ing recommendations in his report:
 CD That a semi i-annual tax of hf- membership Of January and July of each year.
 (2) To amend the law in regard to auditing the books so as to provide for an annual audit only.
 (3) That a committee be appointed to study the conditions at the home in regard to increasing the accomno- dations at the home. and report back to the board of managers their ind tngs with Recommendations
 My brothers. it has been brought to my attention, and I am of the same opinion, that there should be some thing done in regard to increasing the permanent fund of the home. As you all know, Odd Fellowship in the state is growing older and the membership larger. Therefore, there will be more brothers to be cared for at the home. While the per capita tax is but 15 cents per member as at the present time. it cannot remain at that figure long if we do not increase the per- manent fund. therefore recomnaend that P. G. M. Brother Grant U. Kierstead be a committee of one, with advisable, to consider this matter and report back to the board of managers their findings with recommendations
 In closing wish to express my thanks to every member in the stat who has helped with this good work for our home; to all my committees who have worked so faithfully dur ing the year. and to the board of man. lgers for their ready support at all
 ines. The work and the home show that you have been successful. Hop ing for the future success of Odd
