" Bro . Massa showed that the Craft had greatly increased in number , and that in a short time tho present

accommodation would not bo sufficient . Ho also showed that Lyncombe House was not a suitable building . He also went into tbo questions whether tho extension wns required ; could it bo afforded ,- when should it bo done ; was a non-Freemason architect to bo preferred to a brother ; ancl was tho newly-purchased ground tho proper placo on which to build an addition to the School ? Ho showed that St . Anne ' s

Society , with smaller funds , and also a , limited area in which to seek support , did moro for tho money than tho Masonic Girls' School , while it gavo an equally good education . The motion was seconded by Bro . W . Halo . Bro . Gover moved tho previous question , and Bro . Clabon in seconding it , appealed to Bro . Massa to withdraw his other four motions .

the necessary funds . At present no such necessity had been shown . " Tho previous question " was carried by a largo majority , and Bro . Massa then withdrew his remaining motions .
