CONVENTION HALL, March 14, 1895.

Mr. President and Members of the Convention:

We, your committee on accounts and expenses, beg leave to report the following:

1. In relation to furnishing the Convention with a clock, Mr. Thomas G. Webber, superintendent of the Z. C. M. I., has kindly loaned the clock now hanging in the hall, free of charge, during the session of the Convention.

2. In relation to furnishing the delegates with drawers or boxes, for the safe keeping of their books and papers, etc., we herewith attach the following bids for same.

3. A number of delegates seem to think the per diem of appointive officers, not covered by statute, as furnished the Convention on Monday too high. We would therefore ask for the sense of the Convention in regard to this matter.

4. Members of the Convention have asked us to furnish postage stamps for their use in corresponding with their constituents. We are undecided as to whether that request should not go to the committee on printing and stationery.

5. We communicated with Secretary Richards yesterday in regard to the mileage of delegates, and he informs us the mileage should be thirty cents one way, hence our report of Monday figured at twenty cents is incorrect. We attach herewith a correct report.

6. A number of delegates have requested us to pay their mileage. As we have no instructions to do so, we would ask for the wishes of the Convention regarding the matter.

7. We are undecided as to our duties and would ask the Convention if we are expected to keep a journal of the per diem of members and expenses and report the balance on hand daily.

8. We would ask for instructions in regard to the salary of appointive officers_whether their salaries

commenced with the first day of the session, time of appointment or time when sworn in.

A. C. LUND,

Chairman.
