Mt. View Lodge No. 179, l. o. o. F.
met at the usual hour February 8, 1912
Norman Massa N. G. presiding. The
usual amount of routine business was
disposed of. The sick and afflicted
Bros. were reported as some better.
On account of the extremely bad
weather there was slim attendance
and no lodge work was undertaken.
There is one petitioner for initiatory
now elected and three petitioners to be
acted on at the next meeting. There
is very little news on Lodge circles
now. The Grand Lecturer and Custo-
dian of the work will probably visit
this section shortly, it would perhaps
suit him best to have all the Lodges
in the county meet him here at some
agreed upon time. Every Lodge in the
county needs to hear the lecture and
instructions, and since he will not be
able to visit every lodge, it would ex-
pedite his work to meet all at some
stated time and place and as this is the
Oldest and largest Lodge in the county
it seems this should be the point. All
that can should attend the next meet
ing as there will be more or less work
in the initatory.
