located al the corner of Queen and Fort street, Is
rapidly approaching completion, and after the cere
monies usual at the laying of the cornerstone OF
all Masonic buildings are over Mr.. j. T. Baker

/ the masonwork. From the well-known reputation

finished workman, it is reasonable to look for the
completion of this building at early day.
