The Grand Lodge at its last meeting amended
section IT, subordinate lodge constitution relating
10 the election OF officers, TO make the cer-
cal officers who are usually elected in November
elective in May. The grand master workman has
held that as the present officers were elected in
November last for one year their terms can
not be shortened; in November when the usual
time for election comes there will be no consttu-
tional provision for election of clerical officers,
hence the election OF these officers Will take
place until May, 1897 The effect of this legisla-
ton is TO lengthen the terms of the incumbents
who will serve for eighteen months instead of
twelve months. The above has application TO
officers other than recorder receiver nancier and
medical examiner.
