AUDIT OF THE BOOKS oF BOARDS OF SUPERVISION.

Synod decided that in the future the Auditing Committee either
itself audit, or have audited by competent accountants, the books
(ineluding the current expense fund) of the treasurers of the Boards
of Supervision’ of our several institutions. The Committee was
directed to request an audited report also from the Boards of insti-.
tutions under the Jurisdiction of some District; also from the Board

of Immanuel College. The Committee will then make a report to
the President of Synod. :

USE OF A SURPLUS IN ANY FUND.
Since reports show that, while some funds have a deficit, there is,
at the same time, a surplus in others, it was decided that such surplus
should remain in the hands of the General Treasurer, where it can

be used to the advantage of Synod as a whole, and should not be
turned over to the respective Board.

TRANSFER OF EXPENSES.

Synod decided that expenses incurred by keeping our institutions
of learning in, good repair should henceforth be defrayed out of the
Building Fund, and no longer out of the Synodical Treasury,
