Executive of Elizabeth, N. j., to
Be the Best Ever

blocks from the city hall.

secretary any mayor ever had. When

over and shook his head.

morning to clear his head and who will
not turn the outer office into a smok-
ing parlor for the boys hanging around
for favors. l want a secretary who
will work and not play politics." Miss

people are disappointed to have the
United States hold both blue ribbons

The grand lodge executive commit
tee and the grand lodge finance COM
mittee, which are composed of four
teen prominent and active members of
the order, had a joint meeting at its
July gathering, and after the transact
ing of regular financial business voted
to transfer from the beneficiary fund
of the grand lodge the sum of $4,000
to the reserve fund of the grand lodge,
which increases the total reserve fund
of the grand lodge to the handsome
sum of sH57, 619.3S, a most gratifying
exhibit, evidencing emphatically the
stability of the Connecticut grand
lodge finances and the wise and jul
licious management that has pro-
duced this fine result. The A. o. U.
W. of Connecticut never before had so
large a reserve and the entire amount
has been accumulated since the change
of rate in 1904, only five years ago;
and it's existence is a guarantee that
must be appreciated by and appeal
with great force to the membership of
the Connecticut jurisdiction of the A.

is placed in safe and sound interest,
bearing investments, all of a character
such as the savings banks and trust
