be two stories and a half in height.
The ground floor will contain two
stores, four offices, a lodge room and
ante-rOoms. On the second floor will be
two lodge rooms and a parlor, and in
the half-story above will be two ban
quet rooms and a complete kitchen.
The new Temple will be the joint
property of the three Masonic orders
of San Leandro, the Blue Lodge No.

and the Eastern Star No. 1O3.
If the present plans are accepted the
construction work will be begun this
