MONROE. May %, 1895, lodge of Odd
Fellows was organized in this town called
Monroe Lodge, No. 1856, with % charter
members. Since then the lodge has pros
pered and at the present time has 80 mem.
bers. The meetings ere held in the Town
Hall until recently, when Monroe Lodge
moved to its own hall. The new building is
a credit to the town, and to the master
workman, Franklin Chase, who has taken
great pride in the structure. Mr.. Chase is
member of the lodge and he told your CORE
spondent that the Odd Fellows had done all
the work on the building except $11 paid to
outside parties. The building is 32x5O, two
stories high, with a mansard roof The
lower hall will be used for banquet and
dance hall, and the upper hall for the spec

later. Stables for horses will be built in
rear of the building. The lodge is in flour
ishing condition, both socially and financial
