A BIG BANQUET HALL.
Masons May Have One i'm Old Elk
Rooms.

The officers of the several Masonic
bodies now tenants of the Msbonic
temple on Jackson street met Friday
evening to consider the advisa bility of
occupying, for Masonic purposes. the
third floor of the temple. recently va
Gated by the Elks. About fifty Masons
were present. Supper was served at
$40, followed by an informal discus
sion of the question.
The title to the Masonic temple is
held by the council of administration
of the Scottish Rite. Each one of the
Masonic bodies holding their meetings
in the temple plays a proportionate
share of the rental and maintenance.
The Scottish Rite proposes to remodel
and furnish the third floor for the use
of the Masons at cost of about
$4,000. The meeting last night was a
Masonic bodies. who are tenants of the
building. are willing to pay the in
creased rental necessary to obtain the
use of the additional floor.
The changes suggested include an
additional lodge room. an armory for
the knights Templar, new parlors and
smoking room. a thoroughly equipped
modern kitchen and a banquet hall
occupying one-half or all the north
part of the third floor, capable of seat
ing 500 to / 1900 people.
The sense of the informal meeting
was that the improvements should be
made. Definite plans will be drawn
up at once and submitted. through the
board of control. to the Masonic bodies
for their formal acceptance.

The resolution was introduced by
Delegate Henry West of Birmingham.
AS soon as it was placed before the
