Grand Representatives p. J. Isaac
and James WEIGH submitted an extended
report of the annual session Of thB
Grand Lodge Of tho United States
which was held at Springfield, I'LL. last
September.
The special committee on insurance,
consisting of e. W. Cooper. chairman;
J. II. Applsby, secretary: James
Welch, George g. Morton, b. +. Shakes
peare and +. j. Isaacs, submitted the
following resolutions for the considera-
ton of the grand body:
~. Believing that it is not only
advisable but also that it would 10
beneficial to our order in this juris-
diction to have the insurance feature
both life and accident, we would there
fore, recommend that both forms of
insurance be introduced, as is hereafter
provided for.
80. We are elso Of the opinion that
the order within our borders is neither
numerically nor financially strong
enough, either at present or 10 the near
future. TO organize or sustain any in-
surance business OF profit to our mem
berahip
az. With the information which your
committee have received from the cor
respondence they have had with the
various insurance associations, en-
bracing both life and accident features,
we believe that arrangements could be
made with some of the said associa
tiona whereby an agency could be es-
tablished in this jurisdiction which
would give to our members the oppur.
tunity 10 take out a policy OF insurance
10 either tha life or accident association,
or both, as they may 80 desire. and at {
cost that will not be excessive for the
amount insured at their age.
az. We would. therefore Recommend
that the present committee be con
! tinuHd for another year and that they
be aud are hereby empowered to maxi
q selection Of one association doing ,
business in life insurance, only will
members OF our order. and ono assocla
| tim doing a business OF accident in

order, and thar they establish an agency
i Ia this State in connection with sale
. life and accident associations and upol
the best terms that can be made in th'

/ tons, as provided for in the fourtl
