PROCEEDINGS FOR VOLUNTARY

Ju1ge Freedman. of the Superior Court yes'e'
dav anpolnted Benno Lewinson receiver OF 'ne

society in proceedings instituted by majority Vi
the Board of Directors Of the order for volun'aiy

that the Ordcn Germania has not property su'cieh'
to nay al It's just demands and that II Is nSo'en''
It is therefore, deemed necessary to take pFoceeu-
ings for dissolution.
In December 1898. there were about 400 members
Of the order and in January last the membership
was reduced by 300 on February 10. however,
there were Only 1000 members. Some forty bia'chp
of the order he'd meeting on February H. anu
resolved 10 withdraw from it. The directors Say
that II is impossible for them 70 carry oul ,ne
contracts which have been made with the members
for benefits in view Of the large decrease IN me
membership The reason why 80 many nave either
resigned or withdrawn from the order Is because
the deaths which occurred among the members
during the preceding twelve months reachcd me
unprecedented number OF l6l. carrying about $1,000
death benefits against l2j for the year ~
In consequence Of this. the assessments upon the
m mhors have largely increased, and a majority
Of them have either declined or neglected to pay
the assessments. Suits are also pending or threat
encd to recover death benefits, which the order
vii be unable TO pay.
The receiver is required 70 pay all moneys co..
