I GRAND LODGE DETERS ITS PLANS. Macon, Ga., May 1. —Although ! the Masons of the state have paved | away for a new Masonic temple land home for the Grand Lodge in Macon, nothing will he done in the way of accepting plans until October next, when the Grand ; Lodge meets here for its annual | convention. The site, at the ; corner of New and Mulberry street, i will be acceptable to the Grand ■ Lodge, but no plans to improve .■the site can be made until the j lodge has decided on what kind of ;a structure is to be erected. ' j The committee that sold the | Mulberry street temple ami pur ; 'chased the Mulberry street prop lerty is somewhat divided as to i I the style of architecture wanted, and it will take some time for a | decision to lie reached. Marble ! will probably be used to a large i extent in the construction of the I * ! building, and it will be not less than four stories high. This will I [.allow ample room for a large con- 1 i volition hall and will leave enough J space for offices for the grand i treasurer and grand secretary of ; the Grand Lodge. A building of of this kind will hardly costless I#loo,ooo, but the Grand Lodge | will feel no hesitancy in bargain ling for such a structure. BAILEY HANDS S3GTT SQUELCHER IN SENATE.
