It is desirable to know what is the tenure of the building , whether freehold or leasehold , though we presume from the purchase money , £ 1 , 700 , that it is freehold . We trust at the forthcoming Provincial Grand Lodges , some care will be taken in the selection of the architectural advisor , the Grand Superintendent of Works .
