The majority of the delegates left for
their homes late yesterday. There yet
remains to be announced, however, by
the conference budget commission, the
exact apportionment in dollars of the
sum of 100000 for annual conference
work approved as q budget by the con-
ference yesterday and which is to be
raised through assessments
The delay in the announcement was
due to the reduction by more than
$4,000 in the total sum of more than
$4,000 recommended by the budget
commission earlier in the day. The
budget commission was ordered to scale
down the various items to be covered, to
put them within the 100000 limit. In
addition to the assessments for annual
conference work there is another as
seSSment of $4,000 for general confer
ence work, the latter sum named by the
General Conference of the M. z. Church
South to be assessed the Baltimore Con-
ference. The latter assessment repre-
sents reduction of more than $4,000
from the assessment of last year. This,
together with the reduction in the sum
-
total reduction Of $4,000 from the total
assessments for last year within the
conference.
