The Surrey Masonic Hall Company has been formed with the object of providing a Building specially adapted to the requirements of Masonic Lodges , Chapters , and Conclaves , held in the South Metropolitan District ; and in connection therewith , a large Hall , for the general use ofthe public when not engaged for Masonic purposes . This project lias met with the approval of Brethren high in the Craft , and been very favourably received at the several Public Meetings that have been held . The Site for the Building is in the Camberwell New Road , lying between the Post Office and the County Court , close tothe Station of the London , Chatham , and Dover Railway , and to the Tramways from Brixton , VauxJiall , Westminster , Blackfriars , Peckham , and Greenwich . It possesses a frontage of about 70 feet , with a depth of about 150 , and has been secured for a term of Ninety-nine Years , at a very low Ground-rent . The plans have been prepared by a well-known Architect and Member of the Craft , and embrace every convenience tha ^ long experience could possibly suggest . Tlie propriety of holding Masonic Meetings in buildings devoted to the purpose is universally acknowledged by the Craft , and the advantages have been fully proved in many provincial towns where Masonic Halls have been erected . It will also supply a want , long felt in this neighbourhood , of a commodious Public Building . Although the chief object of the Company is to promote the good of Freemasonry , the Directors are of opinion , from estimates carefully prepared , that the Shareholders will also derive a very fair return in a commercial point of view . They therefore , with full confidence , invite the active support of their Brethren . A large number of shares have already been subscribed for . The estimated annual expenditure for Ground-rent , Taxes , Gas , Coals and sundries about ^ 200 . Tlie estimated annual receipts from Lodges , Chapters , Lodges of Instruction , Conclaves , & c , including rent of Wine cellars , about ^ 220 ; and from rental of Hall for Concerts , Public Meetings , kc , about ^ 300 . And the estimated cost of building and furnishing the Hall , capable of accomodating about 700 persons , in addition to spacious Masonic Rooms , from ^ 2 , 500 to ^ 3 , , thus shewing 10 per cent , interest on the capital . The Directors , however , fairly anticipate a larger return from public lettings . The Company is registered under Table A of the Companies Act , 1862 . A copy of the Memorandum of Association can be seen at the Offices ofthe Company . Form of Application jor Shares . No . TO BE RETAINED BY THE BANKERS .
