Provost Marshal General Evolves New Plan for Payment of loca Boards

Because of the great variance in the cost of inducting the -85 per cent of the first quota of soldiers of the national army in the different states, some local boards being extravagant in their expense, some fairly eco ncmical and others a extremely low expense the provost marshal general has evolved a new plan of payment of local boards in the future.
 Instead of a certain amount per day paid to each member of a local board, there will be allotted to each local board the sum of 30 cents for each man actually inducted into the service. This 30 cents is to be di- vi6ed among the members of the local board, partly according to their own judgment and partly according to directors of the provost marshal general.
 Following are the orders relative to payment of local boards in the future, as received at selecive draft headquarters:
