deavoring to secure the means to erect the
necessary buildings. Further progress was
reported at the meeting in 1888, and in 1883
the grand lodge took the first favorable ac-
ton on the subject. A special COMMITTEES
was appointed, which reported in favor of
the home, but asked that further time, I'M
til the annual communication in 1890, be
given in order to present the matter in the
proper shape.
The report of the special committee was
very full and carefully prepared. They
presented the case in all its bearings. The
report with some few amendments was
adopted The Grand Lodge donated s, coo
toward the completion of the buildings.
There can be no doubt as to their action in
the future.
The efforts of the individual members OF
the craft have been successful beyond their
expectations.

The Masonic home of Michigan was

members of the craft. At a meeting of the
grand lodge in January, 1885, 8 petition
was presented by Bro. Nelson Haskins, of
Attica lodge, No. 2g5, requesting the grand
lodge to purchase a suitable piece or par

be used as home for worthy destitute
brother Master Masons, their widows and
orphans, said property to be controlled and
paid for from grand lodge funds" This
was the first introduction of the matter in
the grand lodge, and did not meet with IA
vor as the resolution accompanying the
petition was indefinitely postponed. These
who realized the importance of the matter
saw that the effort must be an individual
one, and accordingly the Michigan Ma
sonic Home association" was organized
Nov. 5, 1885.
In 1886 the grand master in his address
called the attention of the grand lodge to
the movement, but no action was taken.
In 1887 Grand Master Shoemaker spoke of
the home as an established fact, and that
the efforts of the brethren had been crown

Suit was brought yesterday in the superior

H. A. Smith appears the plaintiff in the
action, although he is merely the local agent or

parties having an interest at stake.
The board of public works holds that
BY the city charter and ordinance 1850

teriai to local firms, and therefore decided
as it did. The Plaintiff claims that N. Clark &
Sons bid was Is per cent lower than that of any
other submitted. and that all other things being

further claimed that, although n. Clark & Sons
mandatory is a. san Francisco, they hs We an

feet are local industry. Again the firms 10
whom the contract WAS awarded are not strictly
local concerns, as ones mandatory is loca ted
