Provincial Grand Lodge Of West Lancashire.
Brindle , P . P . G . S . of W . ; T . K . Hughes , P . P . G . D . C ; D . Gaskin , P . P . G . Treas . ; H . W . Johnston . P . P . G . D . ; A . Cotter , P . P . G . S B . ; J . T . Callow , P .

J . Ramsay . P . P . A . G . P . ; and Lord Skelmersdale , 1591 , almost the youngest initiate in the Province , was among the brethren also present .
Provincial Grand Lodge having been duly opened , and the Prov . Grand Master having been saluted according to ancient form , apologies for inability to be present were tendered from Bros , the Earl of Crawford , Deputy Prov . Grand Master ; Lord Egerton , Prov . Grand Master of Cheshire ;
Col . Starkie , Prov . Grand Master of East Lancashire ; and others . The roll of Provincial Grand Officers and of lodges in the province were then called , and it was found that of the 105 lodges in West Lancashire all were represented with the exception of the Hesketh Lodge , No . 986 , which meets at Croston . There were in all about 800 brethren in attendance .
Bro . W . WOODACRE , P . G . S . B ., the Prov . Grand Secretary , reported that Earl Lathom had received a communication from Mr . Henry Matthews , the then Home Secretary , informing him that he had laid before her Majesty , who had been pleased to receive it , the resolution of sympathy on
the death of the Duke of Clarence , adopted at the special Provincial Grand Lodge meeting in the Liverpool Town Hall , on January 29 th . SirF . Knollys also wrote , saying that he was desired by H . R . H . the Prince of Wales to thank them for their address of condolence , and to assure them that he appreciated very deeply the kind feeling expressed for him in his deep
sorrow . The Earl of LATHOM said that at the special Provincial Grand Lodge meeting he did not think it appropriate to bring forward any matter of business , but he would now propose that they offer their thanks to the Prov . S . G . W ., the Mayor of Liverpool , for his kindness in allowing the use of the Town Hall on that occasion .
Bro . R . WYLIE , D . P . G . M ., seconded this proposal , which was agreed to with applause . His Worship the Mayor ( Bro . J . DE BELS ADAM ) , in reply , expressed his thanks . The Town Hall of Liverpool was , he said , honoured by the attendance of the Prov . Grand Master and the Provincial Grand Lodge . Although it was a mournful occasion , yet he should always look back with pride upon the fact that that meeting was held in the Town Hall during his mayoralty .
Bro . WM . PLATT , the P . G . Treas ., then submitted his statement of accounts , and , in doing so , explained to the brethren that as the financial year ended in December instead of in June , there were but six months ' receipts against twelve months' expenditure . The total receipts amounted t ° j £ i 54 ° - 6 d ., and the total expenditure to £ 745 - 1 id ., leaving a balance in hand of £ 794 19 s . 8 d ., the amount brought forward from the previous account having been £ 1068 2 S . 4 d .
The PROV . GRAND SECRETARY next read his report , in the course of which he referred to the generally peaceful condition of the lodges of the province , remarking that , with one or two slight exceptions , quiet progress and harmonious working had been the characteristic features of the year . No new lodge had been consecrated during the year , but those in existence had been quietly consolidating themselves , and he was of opinion that more
care had been taken in the selection of candidates for initiation . He would ask , however , that in cases where a candidate was proposed in a place other than that in which he resided that the greatest care should be exercised . On account of the by-laws revision , the accounts presented contained only half a year ' s receipts from lodge fees as against a whole year ' s expenditure , so that the financial condition of the province might to the casual observer
appear to be somewhat unfavourable . To arrive at a fair comparison of the present with the previous year ' s income it was necessary to double the £ 39 8 fees from lodges , when the total income would be found to be £ 796 . This was about £ 40 in excess of the corresponding item of income list year . If they compared the accounts with those of a few years ago it would be found that the income was . £ 246 per year in excess of what it was seven years ago .
lhe Benevolent and Charity Committee had made grants to five petitioners , amounting to £ 75 , several substantial grants had also been made by the Grand Lodge Board of Benevolence , and the province had been successful in the election of two elderly brothers on the annuity fund of the Benevolent Institution . Seven years ago they had only 1500 votes to the Boys' and Girls' Institutions and 1500 to the Benevolent , now they had
4100 votes to the Boys' and Girls' and 3200 to the Benevolent Fund . During the same period the West Lancashire Charities had continued to prosper , lhe Educational Institution was now educating and assisting 206 children at a cost of £ 1588 per annum , and its funds had reached almost £ 22 , 000 . lhe Hamer Institution had 12 annuitants , and its funds amounted to £ 3710 . The Alpass Institution had also 12 annuitants , and its funds
amounted to £ 3930 . The vested funds had increased by £ " io , Coo , and the recipients had been increased by 59 during the past seven years . Some years ago he suggested the desirability of additional collars being placed at we disposal of Provincial Grand Masters of the larger provinces , and he was sure it afforded pleasure to see that the proposition was about to be brought forward in Grand Lodge , for if adopted it would be a boon to
v ,- P " 1 ce as we " to others . When an amendment was carried which necessitated the withdrawal of the proposition much disappointment ti i ! ' ' ' 3 Ut ne no P ed that a resolution from that meeting would strengthen ! hands of the Grand Lodge . The Provincial Grand Secretaryconcluded tl r > , ££ estion as to the formation of a Masonic library in connection with the Provincial Grand Lodge offering 20 volumes by way of commencement . lhe Earl of LATHOM said he thought they might congratulate
themelves upon the Prov . Grand Secretary ' s report . It was most favourable I to tr | e state of the lodges in the province . He was extremely glad to ear that more care was being taken in regard to the selection of candiates . He referred to the subject at the last meeting , and was glad to see 1 , } , . ' ' then said had been acted upon by the brethren . With regard their
finances they would understand from the explanation given that ° ugh thej r funds appeared to be low yet they were as a mailer of fact in ' \' ry prosperous condition . The report as to the Charities was most til , '_ ctor y . This province always had been to the front , and he hoped lhaf ' ri con t ' to show the way to other provinces . It was quite true Charity began at home ; they had begun at home , and done it well ,

and even then their Chanty spread outside as well . With regard to the proposed increase of Provincial Officers he must express his regret at not having been able to be present when the matter was brought forward , as he felt sure he would have been able to explain away some of the difficulties which seemed to exist in the minds of some of the brethren . It was
intended that the measure should take effect only in a few of the larger provinces . If they took the province of Bristol with five lodges they would find there exactly the same number of appointments as there were in West Lancashire . He hoped that next year , however , he would have the pleasure of placing collars on the necks of at least six more brethren .
A resolution was then adopted requesting the Grand Lodge to concede the increases asked for .
'lhe Prov . S . G . W ., Bro . J . DE BELS ADAMS , then proposed the election of Bro . W . Savage , P . M . and Treasurer of the Dramatic Lodge , No . 1609 , as Prov . Grand Treasurer for the ensuing year . He informed the brethren of Bro . Savage ' s progress in Freemasonry since his initiation in the Merchants' Lodge in 1872 , and said that from all points of view he would
be worthy to follow in the footsteps of all Past Prov . Grand Treasurers . Bro . J . F . NEWELL , P . P . G . W ., briefly seconded the proposal , remarking that Bro . Savage had invariably performed his duties in a zealous , careful , and painstaking manner , and if the brethren elected him they would have no cause to regret it .
No other candidate was proposed , and Bro . Savage was accordingly declared duly elected . The Earl of LATHOM then proceeded with the investiture of his officers as follows :
