themselves. Removal hns been the cry

Of the Masonic fraternity would have
been taken to Fort Worth some years
ago. The claim of Holland lodge had
been disposed Of; it WAS only a matter
of time. Waco gives a valuable consid-
Grafton for the location of the grand
lodge, but no more valuable than that
which Holland lodge and Houston gave
half a century ago.
The grand lodge did little else of i'm
portance Thursday. The question OF
removal was the great matter and that
was quickly disposed OF, once it was
taken up. Committee reports occupied
the rest of the time.
The grand chapter wound up its bus
mess and adjourned after installing
officers. 1t will meet with the grand
lodge at Waco next year.
