To Norfolk belongs the distinction of
having the oldest Masonic lodge in the
United States. This organization, known
as Norfolk lodge, No. /, was instituted in
1929 and chartered under the title of
Royal Exchange lodge, No. 172. Under
the grand lodge of England it operated
until 1741, when 1t surrendered its Eng
lish charter and received one from the
grand lodge of Scotland, which conferred
the title Of st. Johns lodge, No. III.
In Indiana no chapter Of the Eastern
Star can confer the degrees for a less
sum than $40, and yet Indiana has II 1858
members and increased 992 last year.

the usual fees are paid to the lodge offer
ing to grant the waiver is n-Masonic.
Waivers should always be granted in the
interest of Masonry and not for mer-

sovereign Lodge Expenses Exceed

The membership of all branches of the
order were sadly disappointed in the fact
that no effective measures were adopted
by the recent session of the sovereign
grand lodge to reduce the annual expend-
lures to limit not to exceed the annual
income. The report of the finance COM
mittee shows that the expenditures for
The last year exceeded the income by a
little more than $4,000. and the same re-
port shows that the amount necessary
and set apart for the expenses for the
next year was S55,OO0, and of this
amount $4,000 is necessary to pay fov
mileage and per diem alone, making this
item of expense equal to 80 per cent OF
the entire cost of the business of the SOW
ereign grand lodge for one year.-Odd
