Your Committee appointed to investigate the transactions of 

 the Executive Committee in relation to the employment of a 

 State Purchasing Agent, beg leave to make the following

 Treasury of the State Grange, having special regard to the best 

 interests of the Order. 



We also have the pleasure to report that we find a disposition

 harmony ma}^ reign supreme in our councils.

 services rendered as Purchasing Agent, after the revocation of 

 his commission as Purchasing Ao:ent, under a per diem from 

 said State Grange, be referred to the Executive Committee for 

 adjustment and settlement.
