A special session of the Supreme
Lodge, 8. OF H., will be held in this city
on December 27th, for the purpose of
considering improved legislation in re-
spect TO the death benefit assessment
laws. At the last annual session it Yves
decided to hold these assessments at rs
cents per capita, notwithstanding the rate
at which the order Was increasing IN
membership. At the present time the
membership numbers about 5000, aud
consequently each assessment for death
creates surplus which, when il amounta
to 81, coo, the amount paid for q death,
goes to paying the benefit for the next
death instead of leyying an assessment
for it. This plan has caused some dis
| satisfaction, and il is now proposed TO
adopt @ law that will decrease the pro
rata assessments as the membership in
cgeases. .".
