After the examination the reports of the Supreme Officers are accepted by the Board in detail also. 22. ) The Board hears the report of the Committee conducting the inspection of the premises at Weirton, W. Va., and since the data necessary to judge adequately the appeal are not at their disposal, the Board holds the appeal on record further. 23. ) The Board announces that in the future appeals concerning the building or remodeling of Verhovay Homes, must be sub­mitted at least fourteen (14) days before the meeting of the Board of Directors, so that the Building Committee may have the time and opportunity to secure the necessary de­tailed data. The Board directs the Chief Counsel of the Association to prepare a printed form which should be filled out on the occasion of making requests for such loans by the interested Branch. 24. ) The Board announces that if the appeals submitted meet with the conditions established by the Convention, then the Build­ing Committee may travel out for an inspec­tion of the premises, upon being so instructed by the Supreme President.

The Board announces that in the future they will discuss only those cases which are received at the Home Office seven (7) days before the beginning of the meeting. The Board requests the Supreme Presi­dent that he determine the exact date of the Board meeting at least thirty (30) days be­forehand and to announce same in the Of­ficial Journal of the Association. 26.)

They authorize the Home Office to sign the desired resolution. Considering the advanced stage of the time, Supreme President adjourns the meeting at 6 P.

M. and orders the reading of the Minutes which are accepted and certified by the Board. 26. ) The Board is occupied with the com­plaint of Supreme President Darago, who has been performing the duties of the Supreme Treasurer, that the Supreme Auditor and Su­preme Secretary did not issue to him the salary of the Supreme Treasurer, claiming that when the Board entrusted to him the duties of the Supreme Treasurer they did not take any action relative to the salary. The Supreme President announces his claim to the whole of the Supreme Treasurer’s salary by reason of the fact that during the time the office was entrusted to him he per­formed the work and assumed the responsibi­lity, and for this reason he is entitled to same in every respect. After his announcement, he leaves the meeting and the conduct of same is assumed by Vice-President Joseph Szalay. After a detailed discussion, the Board, though they note with the greatest thanks and acknowledgement the performance of the work of the Treasury, to their great regret can not, however, grant the based claim, for they do not have the right, in accordance with the By-Laws, to issue two salaries to one per­son, even though that one person performs the work of two people or has same performed. In this question Directors Macker, Csömör, Ari, Brogley, Vizi, Lang and Szalanczy voted “no,” and Directors Dr. Prince, Kuhn and Dobos did not avail themselves of the right to vote. Undoubtedly, however, they see the neces­sity of compensating him for the work ac­complished and the responsibility borne, with some financial remuneration in addition to their thanks and acknowledgement, and for this reason they accord him a honorarium of $100.00 per month, or a total of $500.00. The Board ratifies the action taken by the Supreme Auditor and the Supreme Secre­tary in this matter. The decision of the Board is conveyed to Supreme President Joseph Darago by Vice- President Szalay. After acknowledging same, he again resumes the conduct of the meeting. 27. ) The Board announces in a decision that neither a Supreme Officer nor any em­ployee of the Home Office can claim any extra compensation or overtime even if compelled by Verhovay duty to perform extra work either within or without the scope of particular position. The right to allot eventual honorary com­pensation is retained for themselves by the Board. 28. ) The Board is occupied with the ap­peal of ex-District Manager Albert E. Karl, relative to his account, which however can not be granted by the Board.
