It is a gratifying circumstance to record , that a new Masonic hall is to be built at Whitby , and that the M . W . C . M . and RW . Prov . CM . of North and East Yorkshire , the Earl of Zetland , will lay the first stone . There are two points in which we feel an interest : first , to know what the style , structure , ancl plan will be ; ancl next , to know whether the M . W . G . M . has provided that the property of the hall shall be duly
secured to the Order—that it shall not be a public-house , for instance , of which we have the use , nor an eligible investment for some one to whom the benefit of a Masonic connexion is given . We hope some of the Whitby Brethren , or the provincial authorities , will look to these points , and give us some information on this head . -If Whitby has a sufficient body of resident Masons and Masonic visitors' to justify the
erection of a Masonic hall ; and it ought to have in the residents , in the visitors for bathing , and the large number of ship-captains , shipowners , and merchants , who resort thither , it is a convenient opportunity and a suitable one for endowing the Craft with additional property . There is no reason , why this should not be accomplished at Whitby and all such places ; as for tlie purpose of a Masonic hall large
bodies of the Brethren are ready to subscribe , either as a temporary investment on mortgage , or as a subscription . Many , too , are quite ready to lend money temporarily at very low rates , or without interest , if there were the inducement that the revenues of the Craft , or the revenues of the charities would thereby be provided for .
