DORSET MASONIO CHARITY .
ANNUAL REPORT OF GENERAL COMMITTEE . THE Committee have great pleasure in reporting that the result of the past year shews an increase in Donations , though the Subscriptions remain about the
same . The Donors number 8 , and the Subscribers 250 , aa against 17 and 258 in 1889 . The total Receipts for the year , as against 1889 aro shown below : —
1889 . 1890 . £ m d £ a d Donations 22 10 7 34 6 0 Interest and Dividends 102 1 11 98 7 8 Snbsorptions 78 19 6 78 0 6
Together £ 203 12 0 £ 212 14 2 A result which speaks well for the continued activity of the various local correspondents , whoso services demand the warmest thanks of the Province . Four Petitioners have been relieved during the year , at
a total cost of £ 70 , while two Grants of £ 20 and £ 12 , made at the Mid-Winter Meeting , will appear in tho 1891 Accounts . The special thanks of the Committee are again due to Bros . Lord Stalbridge and E . A . Hambro , for their annual subscriptions of £ 5 each .
The Committee have with very great regret to announce the death of Bro . 0 . J . T . Hambro P . G . D . ( England ) , P . D . P . G . M . Dorset , Vice President and one of the original
Trustees of the Charity , and a generous annual subscriber . Bro . Hambro always took a very deep interest in the affairs of the Charity , and was moat indefatigable in his efforts to obtain remunerative investments for its funds .
At the Regular Meeting of the General Committee next following , held ou the 31 st July last , W . Bro . J . P . F . Gundry P . D . P . G . M . and Bro . Roberfc Williams were unanimously elected as new Trustees of the Charity , and have kindly consented to act .
Whilst noting with satisfaction that more has beon received for donations this year than in 1889 , your Committee cannot but regret that the subscriptions have not increased as they hoped , but , on the contrary , havo slightly diminished . They trust , however , thab fche babular
statement given with this Report will be carefully C-mpared with the statement of lasfc year , and if only the brethren in each Lodge who are subscribers will exert themselves to master the figures , and bring them homo to the members of their own Lodge who do not yet subscribe ,
there will not next year be so great a difference in the per centage of subscribers . The Committee note with pleasure that some Lodges show a marked improvement , and , from the returns already in , trust thafc the improvement will this year be still more noticeable .
There should be no difficulty in getting all new members to subscribe during their first year , nor , when they have once subscribed , in getting them to continue ; and the Committee venture to hope that each local correspondent will endeavour to secure , at all events , all new members .
With regard to the current year , fewer interim lists had come to the Hon . Secretary ' s hands on the 30 th June than last year , hub at that date the subscriptions for 1891 , amounted to £ 23 ls , and dividends and interest to £ 48 17 s Id , against which Grants amounting to £ 30 were
made afc the Midsummer meeting . It is hoped that when the Lists are presented at Provincial Grand Lodge it will be found that the efforts of the various local correspondents have been crowned with success , and that the Charity has made good progress .
The General Hospital fnnd for the cost of the new wing has decidedly profited by the visit of tbe Duke of Edinburgh and his presence at the Institution , ^ the 24 th ult ., to perform the opening ceremony . Not only did he leave a contribution of £ 25 , followed by a similar amount from the Duke of Beaufort , but other donations followed towards completing the £ 20 , 000 required to clear the new
wing from debt . Thia mnst now be very nearly accomplished , as one gift since the opening has been the princely sum of £ 500 from Mr . \ V . A . F . Powell . Mr . Powell ia one of the best known Redoliffe men , and has always taken a deep interest in all that concerns his parish . He is also one of the best known Freemasons in the West
of England . He haa ruled the Province of Bristol as Provincial Grand Master for the last two years , and as Deputy for over thirty years . Last year he gave 100 guineas to the Masonic School for Boys , and another 100 guineas to the Masonio School for Girls , to perpetually endow the office whioh he holds .
