NONE NEEDS OF ASSISTANCE
Committee to Select Site for Masonic
State Home Confronted With
Peculiar Condition.

Lynchburg, June lS.-A meeting OF
committee of the Virginia Grand
Lodge Of MasOns, which was held
here this week to consider a location
and plans for the erection Of home
for aged and INDECENT members OF
that order in the State, has brought
attention to a remarkable condition,
for out of the investigation up to this
time is developed the fact that there
seems to be not a single Mason IN
the 10000 in Virginia who needs
such assistance as would be provided
in the proposed home. This state
ment is made by 4 member OF the
committee after going over carefully
all Of the data collected by the Fcom-
mittee in its preliminary work.
. The committee, composed of ". S.
lBenston. of Norfolk; W. W. Fields, Of
Madison: J. G.. Osborne, of Radford;
&C. 3. Marshal, OF Alexandria, and
Ernest Williams, Of Lynchburg,; :; met
here and was shown a site available
lfor- such an Institution. The COM
mitteemen agreed unanimously that
the site was adequate for the purposes
of such an institution, and it IS eX-
pected to recommend this site, if it
makes anw recommendations at an;
but the present disposition of the
committee is to advise the grand lodge
Of the lack Of necessity for such a
home, which report will likely stop
further investigation.
