Umpires fees would be $ 7 to do the plate and $ 6 for the bases. Mileage would be 20 cents with a maximum of $ 4. Umpires are to be paid by the 5th inning. The umpires left a copy of their constitution with the Secretary. The league accepted a motion for teams to post a $ 25 bond to cover unpaid umpire fees and forfeits.
