Centennial Exhibition Expense Apportionment Among Conferences

By Stephen Nelson Haskell

Centennial.

At the General Conference held last autumn, Dr. J. H. Kellogg presented the report of the exhibition of our publications at the Centennial. The report showed there was an expense of $291.00. It was voted “That Eld. S. N. Haskell be a committee to correspond with the several Conferences, or Tract and Missionary Societies, and apportion to each its share of this expense, and invite them to pay it.”

We here present the following apportionment, taking for a basis the figures given in the Battle Creek College. We have in this omitted Minnesota, Missouri and Kansas, those states where the grasshopper scourge has afflicted them, and called the sum to be raised an even $300.00.


Michigan,	$140.00.
New York,	25.00.
New England,	20.00.
Vermont,	12.00.
Maine,	5.00.
Ohio,	21.00.
Indiana,	10.00.
Illinois,	14.00.
Wisconsin,*	16.00.
Iowa,	37.00.

These figures are so small that no conference will be burdened. The nearer we approach to equality the more this will appear. In fact we can do what we please financially, and none will be burdened when the proper basis is reached. These various sums will be credited to the centennial expense, and if there be any over the required sum it will be appropriated to the general Tract Society. In this number of Review is receipted the apportionment for New England and Maine. S. N. HASKELL.
