The duty of this Board is to examine into and ascertain the best
means to effect uniformity in the laws of the States and especially
to meet with representatives appointed by other States in a conven-
tion, known as "The National Conference of Commissioners on Uni-
form State Laws," to draft laws to be submitted for the approval
and adoption of the several States, and to recommend such action as
shall best accomplish promotion of such uniform legislation.

The Commissioners receive no salary but are allowed their actual
disbursements for expenses, not to exceed, however, in the aggregate
the amount of the appropriation made from time to time in the budget.
