Most of the business transacted
was of a routine character, consisting
of reports of no general public inter
est
At the morning session the mat
ter of most Importance was the ac-
ton of the Grand Lodge in which it
decided to begin work Immediately to
erect a building at GoldsbOro for the
Home for the Aged and Infirm Odd
Fellows, at a cost of $4,000 The step
establishing this Home was taken at
Wilmington i'm 1903 and at that ses-
sion the time set for the work to
be begun was in 1906, The fund for
this purpose accumulated more rapid
~ than was expected. hence the ac-
ton taken to start the work at once.
The following is the resolution Of
fered by Grand Treasurer r.. j. Jones
which authorizes immediate action:
Whereas, the Grand Lodge at the
session Of 1903, unanimously adopted
a series Of resolutions providing for
the erection of a home for the aged
and infirm Of our order, upon the
grounds of the Orphan Home at
Goldsboro, the control and the man
agement of the same to be vested in
the Board of Trustees of the Orphan
Home whose superintendent is to l'e
the superintendent of the Home for
the Aged and Inflrm, and believing
that the amount now on hand, which
is near $4,000 is sufficient to COM
mence the work of building a home,
not to cost over 5000 and believ
ing that the per capita tax Of this
fiscal year, will be on hanI in ample
time, and Of sufficient am 1unt 10 meet
all payments before the nome is COM
pleted, therefore
Resolved, That the trustees of the
Orphans Home are hereby instructed
to proceed at once with the work of
construction upon the grounds of the
Orphans Home at Goldsboro, and the
Grand Treasurer is authorized and in
sTructed to pay over to the trustees
all the moneys now on hand neint:sing
TO the Aged and Infirm' fund, and
all such as may come into his hands
for said funds during this fiscal year
whenever it may be needed and as
called upon by the trustees to do so.
Resolved further, that the second
section of the original resolution be
amended by striking out 1906 and in
serting 1905. See original resolutions
