REPORT OF THE BOARD OF GENERAL PURPOSES . To the United Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons . The Board of General Purposes beg to report that Mr , Solomon , the owner of the property in Great Queen-street and Queen ' s-place , adjoining the Society ' s premises on the west side ( the purchase of which property has been sanctioned by Grand Lodge ) , being unwilling to sell the freehold at the price that the Grand Lodge had authorized the Board to offer , and the Board considering that no improvement could be made to the Society ' s property , nor the additional
accommodation required by the Craft be obtained until the proposed purchase was completed , they have entered into an agreement with Mr . Solomon to buy the house No . 59 , Great Queen-street , and ail the houses , and that portion of the court belonging to the houses , situated in Queen ' s-place , at an advance of £ 250 on the sum already sanctioned by Grand Lodge ; that an abstract of the title is now in the hands of Mr . Dobie for investigation ; and that Mr . Solomon has entered into a contract to complete the sale and to give up possession , if required , by the 24 th day of December next .
The Board therefore , under all the circumstances , recommend Grand Lodge to authorize them to complete the purchase for the sum of £ 3 , 250 , The Board have also to report , that in order to render the property proposed to be purchased of Mr . Solomon available for the wants of the Society , they found it necessary to enter into arrangements with the leasee of the houses , now the
property of the Society , and situated on the opposite side of Queen ' s-place , to surrender the lease , of which nearly seven years still remain unexpired . The representatives of the late Mr . Hyatt , the lessee , have agreed to surrender the lease , and give up possession at Christmas-day next , for the sum of £ 200 , and the Board recommend that Grand Lodge should authorize them to carry out that
arrangement . The Board have also to report , that in consequence of Mr . Bacon withdrawing the offer he had made to rent some premises at the rear of the hotel , and situated in Middle-yard , Great Queen-street , and Mr . Lambert , the late tenant thereof , having expressed his willingness to continue as tenant , and to pay the increased rent that Mr . Bacon was to have paid , the Board have let the same to Mr . Lambert as a yearly tenant , at the sum of £ 50 a year .
