ed to the meeting and reported favor
ably on the invitation of Athens. 1t

an amendment was offered TO the re-
port substituting Savannah instead af
Athens, the substitute carried and so
the Grand Commandery viii meet in
that city in 1910
Sir knight r. l. Colding. of Savan-
nah, proved to be gallant knight in
behalf of his own city. He pointed
out the fact that Savannah had just
completed a new y NJ c. A. building
