278 Financial Matters

Your Committee recommends to ‘Synod to adopt the resolution:

Resolved, That the action of the Board of Directors in convey-
ing to the Addison Orphan Home the real estate formerly owned by
the Children’s Friend Society of Peoria be, and the same is, hereby
ratified.

Action of Synod: This resolution was adopted. (Cf. resolution
under Constitutional Matters.)

Point 12, Statistician, was disposed of by the resolution under
Constitutional Matters referring the matter of the appointment of
Chronicler, Statistician, Corresponding Secretary, and Railroad
Secretary to the committee to be appointed for the revision of the
Handbook.

The matters treated in the Report of the Board of Directors
under “Education and Educational Institutions,” “Missions,” and
“Constitutional Matters” were disposed of, upon recommendation
of Committees 1, 8, 2, 9, respectively, by the action of Synod under
the respective departments.

Attention is called, however, to the following recommendations
of Committee 1:

Point 4, Fire Insurance (p. 225 of Reports and Memorials):
Your Committee recommends that this matter be referred to the
Fiscal Conference. Synod adopted this recommendation. This
also disposes of Memorial 715.

Point 5, Synodical Building Fund (p. 225.): Committee 1 rec-
ommended that these expenditures be approved. Synod adopted
this recommendation.

Point 2, Fort Wayne (p. 226). Concerning the share of expenses
to be paid by the High School Association, Committee 1 recom-
mended that, instead of assuming the proportionate or pro-rata
share, the High School Association be charged for an additional
cost only. Synod adopted this recommendation.

All other points under “B. Education and Educational Institu-
tions’ not otherwise mentioned were taken care of by way of
report, with no resolution necessary.

With regard to the entire report of the Board of Directors,
Committee 1 recommended:

That Synod express its recognition and commendation to the

Board of Directors for the multitudinous work conscientiously and
faithfully carried out and reported in comprehensive detail.

Action of Synod: This recommendation was adopted.
