portraits, at approximately $3,000.00. This installation is one that will suitably house the portraits of all Past Grand Masters, with provision to add additional portraits for many years to come. It can readily be increased by an additional unit whenever the size of the gallery warrants. The collection would thus display portraits of uniform size and quality. In view of our findings that this method is within our means and that it has the aforementioned advantages of more satisfactory likenesses and convenience to our members, we offer the following resolution: RESOLUTION
Be It Resolved, That the Grand Lodge adopt the use of photographic portraits of high quality and of uniform pattern for the development of a complete gallery of Grand Masters covering the entire life of the Grand Lodge and with provision for future additions, such gallery to be housed in a suitable enclosure, located in the offices of the Grand Lodge, and possessing excellence of design which shall be in keeping with the classical architecture of the Temple. Be It Further Resolved, That the sum of $3,000.00 be appropriated to cover the cost of the entire project. Respectfully submitted, H. C. JOHNSTON, GEORGE C. MARQUIS, E. E. MORRIS, ROBERT H. MA.NN, J A.MES M. DEWI'I"l'.
