THE GRAND MASONIC TEMPLE.
The Masons of Fort Worth have de-
termined that they will erect in Fort
Worth the most magnificent temple of
the order to be found in the Southwest.
Mr.. Zane Cetti, worshipful master of the
Fort Worth lodge, which is the largest
in Texas, was seen yesterday and asked
in regard to the matter. He prefaced
his remarks by handing The GAZETTE
reporter the following circular letter:
The buildings of Fort Worth lodge No.
AS having been totally destroyed bv fire
on the 18th of September, and the lodge
thus confronted with the task Of erecting
rev quarters, the opportunity pre-
sents itself of com bning this improve
men with building suitable for the
purposes of the grand lodge, and, at a
called meeting, a committee was ap- |
pointed to ascertain the views of the !
subordinate lodges OF the Texas jurisdic- |
ton on the desirabiity of removal OF |
the grand lodge from its present quar- |
tiers ct Houston to Fort Worth, Tex.
Fort Worth lodge proposes, should it |
have reason to believe from the promised |
ofi 70 siafn lol, tLae
would be acceptable, to tender the grand |
lodge a permanent home at Fort Worth, |
aud it is the object of the committee to |
ascertain by this circular letter the |
views of your lodge on the proposed |
change.
Az reasons why removal to this point |
should be acceptable to a majority OF the
brotherhood, we urge that Fort Worth |
as point of easy access is certainly Sec
ond TO no town in TeXas-ten lines OF !
railway Offering rapid and easy commu-
nication with all points of the state; that
it is healthy and pleasant place OF
sojourn during the winter months, the
usual time of meeting of the grand
lodge; that its facilities for the accom-.
mediation of large bodies of visitors at
one time have been repeate lily tested
and not found wanting; that it is very
near Tue H1bSOulC ccuGeE OF the state, /
having 236 of the $50 working lodges of
this jurisdiction within radius of $50
miles. while OF the remainder 176 are
nearer to Fort Worth than to the pres
ent point OF assembly-thus 412 ont Of
$50 lodges would find the change to their
advantage, and the rapid growth of the
Northwestern part of the state, and con-
sequent increase in the number of lodges,
will in q short time render even this per-
centage too small; lastly, the grand
lodge would not be asked to make any
other outlay than Its own necessary
equipment would require, and would not
now, or at any future time, have uu-
pleasant questions Of title, ownership
and liability to discuss.
VIII you, in view of the expression of
opinion which we desire to have from |
you, kindly have this letter read in open
lodge, and convey to Us as early as pos
sible, the action which your lodge will IS
probably take when the question is off,
