The Finance Committee recommended the payment of mileage to Great Chiefs, Representatives and members of standing committees, 82 in number, amounting to $1,403.19, averaging $17.11 each. The Great Council then went into the Committee of the Whole for the consideration of amendments to the laws. Upon the recommendation of the Finance Committee the following appropriations were made:-- To the Tribe entertaining the Great Council each Great sun, $150.00. To the Assistant Great Chief of Records for services, $75.00. To the Great Sachem for the use of himself and State Exemplifier, $1,250. A new code of laws governing the organization and institution of Tribes was adopted. Up to this time the matter of organization had been conducted much upon the "go as you please" plan, each Great Sachem using his own judgment in the matter. The adoption of definite laws governing this matter was a boon to following Great Sachems. A regulation was adopted requiring financial chiefs of the Great Council and Tribes and Councils of the Degree of Pocahontas to be bonded in such indemnity company as might be selected by the Finance Committee from time to time. An amendment was offered to be considered at the next Great Sun Council providing for the nomination and election of Great Chiefs on the second sun of the session instead of the first. An amendment was offered defining the bounds of Deputy Great Sachems, providing for districts, and for the holding of district meetings for the purpose of exemplification, but same was laid over for one great sun.

The Great Sachem appointed Ben C. Nunn, of No. 14; O. R. King, of No. 1; A. C. Fahrenberg, of No. 10. Acting Great Incohonee Thomas J.
