recipient , and set him up again . If the Lodge of Benevolence was now exceeding its income by £ 2000 a year , and Grand Lodge agreed to this increase in the quarterages , the resulting income xvould cover this excess , and leave a surplus of about £ 2000 . He proposed that the increase should commence on the ist Tan , 1883 . The motion was
seconded by Bro . BRITTEN . Bro . TOMBS opposed the motion altogether . The present quarterages were the result of the arrangements made on behalf of the various lodges ,
The change would upset a vast number of calculations ; and it struck him . as Bro . Clabon had admitted , that they had been too liberal with their money , really and truly . Bro . CLABON : I said nothing of the kind .
Bro . TOMBS said his note of Bro . Clabon ' s speech xvas that they had been granting too much money . He would venture to say that the Board of Benevolence had been too liberal as Trustees .
Bro . MONTAGUE GUEST said he thought that before this motion was carried the provinces should be consulted . In his province it xvould make a difference of £ 30 a year . He felt that there had been a certain amount of extravagance . He xvould not say that the larger grants xvere not beneficial ,
but still the figures just given to them showed an increase of about £ 2000 a year ; and he thought that before they rushed into the gap to make up the deficiency that had occurred , by adding something to the contribution of every brother , that the opinion of the provinces ought to be obtained , and that the matter should be postponed in the meantime .
Bro . the Rev . J . S . BROWNRIGG said that he felt strongly against this motion . In his own province they had a voluntary quarterage of 2 s . a year , which made their full quarterage equal to that of London brethren . He felt sure that if they raised the quarterage 50 per cent , the local Charities would suffer . On a former occasion they were told that the funds of the Lodge of
Benevolence were increasing to such an extent that powers xvere sought to enable the Board to devote them to some other purpose . He thought that the temporary wave of depression had perhaps produced the extra distress which had caused this excess of expenditure , and if that were the case they might hope that it would not continue .
Bro . J . STEVENS would be disposed to support Bro . Clabon's motion if it went further than it did . He thought that every man that xvas made a Mason , xvhether in the provinces or the metropolis , should pay the same , and he should be prepared , if necessary , to propse an amendment to carry that
out . After some further discussion , Bro . CLABON rose , and said that hexvished to say but very few words in reply , and to remind Grand Lodge that the
Lodge of Benevolence xvas representative . As far as his recollection xvent , a fair proportion of the grants made by that Lodge xvere granted as petitions from the country , and xvhat came from the country as freely went back to the country .
The M . W . GRAND MASTER then read the resolution , and stated that that xvas the question on which the brethren had to vote ; there xvas no direct negative proposed to that , but it xvas proposed as an amendment that further consideration should be postponed to ascertain the opinion of the provincial brethren , and that no increase should be made at present . That
amendment xvas by Bro . Penrice . There xvas a second amendment proposed by Bro . Stevens , that if any alteration be made , the sum shall be one shilling a quarter , xvhether in the prox'incial or London district . That second
amendment was a provisional one , which made it difficult to deal with . He could not help thinking that the amendment of Bro . Penrice very generally expressed the opinion of Grand Lodge , that we xvere not ripe yet upon the subject .
Bro . PENRICE ' S amendment upon being put to the vote xvas carried . The original motion was afterwards put and lost . Bro . CLABON gave notice lhat he should bring the matter forxvard again in December .
Bro . R AYNHAM W . STEWART , P . G . D ., proposed : — That , in the event of the report of the Financial Committee appointed at the Quarterly Communication , held on the ist day of March last being adopted , to move-That , having regard to the enormous increase in the number of lodges and chapters since the grant of £ Soo made by Grand Lodge in 1 S 58 to the Royal Masonic Benevolent
Institution for Aged Freemasons and Widows of Freemasons , and for xvhich the Institution had to send , and still sends , txvo voting papers to each lodge and chapter , that the amount to be contributed in future by Grand Lodge be increased by an annual payment of £ 300 to the Male Fund , and £ 500 to the VVidoivs' Fund , such payments being borne by the fund at the disposal of the Board of General Purposes .
Bro . STEWART said that this was resuming a subject the discussion of which was commenced last December . They then asked what the income of Grand Lodge xvas , and a Committee xvas appointed to ascertain and report . That Committee had now made their report , and from that report
it appeared they had only an income of £ 4000 , but what was meant was that that £ 4000 , xvas surplus income . And as there xvas that surplus xvas it unreasonable that the Institution which gave the brethren votes for more than the value should ask grand Lodge to make this grant , £ 300 to the Male Fund and £ 500 to the Widow ' s Fund . The G . M . in the chair was about to put the resolution to the vote ,
when Bro . General BROWNRIGG rose and sa . id he thought they ought to be cautious in what thev xvere doing . They had slated in their report that the
balance is a fluctuating one , and taking from that fluctuating balance £ 800 annually it was impossible to say that they would always have their money at hand . He suggested that the vote be limited to £ 400 ; and moved an amendment to that effect .
