Skrtic doubted that this Board had the right to
tell Lodge what how much Of it's treasury it could
spend Bro Mandich agreed that while this be the
proposed Section 1874 would safeguard against
minority in Lodge desiring to spend money without the
knowledge of the majority.
Bro Hinch suggested that the $4,000 limit, pro-
posed, be upheld here.
Bro Krasich felt that this limit was too conservative
in the of number of Lodges and suggested that the
limit be raised to $4,000 instead Bro Borch agreed with
bro. Kraschs suggestion
Sister Nisc reviewed the ruling of her Lodge ITO in
matters of this type and stressed the fact that her Lodge
spends money contrary to CFU Bylaws.

posed Section 184 bro Maetc Bazdarc Mandch
and Bella.

the $4,000 limit proposed be adopted Bro Hnch
tered with motion to lower the limit to $780, bro Ovca
rich seconding the motion.
Bro. Hinich's motion fell by the way for lack of a
majority vote.

ceived a majority.
