THIRTY CENTS
 PER MAN WILL
 BE ALLOWANCE

Because of the great variance in the cost of inducting the S5 per cent of the first quota of soldiers of the national army iii the different states, some local boards being extravagant in their expense, some fairly eco nomical and others at extremely low expense, the provost marshal general has evolved 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 70 each local board the sum of 30 cents fer each man actually inducted into the service. This 30 cents is to be di- vided among the members of the local board, partly according to their own judgment and partly according to directions of the provost marshal general.
 Following are the orders relative to payment of local boards in the future. as received 9 selective draft headquarters in Phoenix:
 The rate of compensation for members of local boards up to and including the completion of the final classification of the registrants with
 
 boards shall be on the basis of 90 ce1tS as aggregate compensation to the membership of a local board for each registrant to whom a question naire shall have been mailed and who shall have been finally classified in accordance with the provisions of those regulations.
 Money due for said work shall he paid in proportionate amounts to each number of a local board claim | ing compensation for his services, unless 1t shall be requested by the unanimous vote of the local board that the moneys due should be paid in some other proportion. In such cases no ome member shall receive more than fifteen cents of the all lOwance of thirty cents for each classification, and no two members shall receive more than twenty-five cents for each classification to be distributed between them.
 There may be cases where all members of a local board desire compensation, but where certain members may have performed more work than others who have been unable to give the necessary time. In such cases the local board may, l minutes, make the proper division of | it's compensation. There will be | other cases where members of local boards will do their share of the work and who desire to give their | services to their government without | charge. In such cases, the amount 1 to be paid to the members claiming compensation will be appropriate only unless otherwise shown by the minutes.
 The purpose of this provision is to protect the government for the value of gratitutious service thus rendered by members of local boards who do lot claim compensation.
 Sixty per cent of such compensa- = tion shall be due and may be paid when sixty per cent or more of reg istrants have been finally classified | an additional 20 per cent may be paid when so per cent or more of registrahts have been classified, an additional 10 per cent when 90 peI cent of registrants have been classi- fled, and the final 10 per cent may be paid when 100 per cent have been finally classified
 This regulation is not intended to, nor does it, affect compensation of clerks or of examining physicians who are not members of local boards or of allowances for other necessary expenses as provided in these regu- lations.''
