Unsuitable.

A proposition for acquiring the per-

eral years past came before the meet
Ing of that lodge which was held last

lege and Temple. which was suggested
some time ago and on which a conf
mittee had been appointed to report to
the lodge.
1t was decided by the lodge to re-

the proposition was good one, but the
situation was not. The members are
anxious that the lodge should have its
