The question arose because some members have changed their usual place of residence temporarily and are required to travel distances other than to and from their normal place of residence to Pittsburgh for meetings. General Counsel quoted, 'Residence' means a fixed and permanent abode or dwelling place for the time being as contradistinguished from a mere temporary locality of existence. It is therefore, my opinion and you are accordingly advised that the above must be read as a whole and that travel expenses can be allowed only from the place of residence. 37) The Board of Directors requested that a salary classification schedule be established for the employees of the William Penn Association.
