ALEXANDRIA, February 20.—The twelfth annual convention of ‘the George Washington Masonic National Memorial Association will meet in this city at 9:30 o'clock tomorrow morning, in the Masonic Temple. It ig expected that 200 delegates will attend. The purpose of the association is the erec- tion of a memorial temple to George ‘Washington the Mason in George ‘Washington Park, at"the western end of the city. The proposed temple and landscape gardening will cost approximately $2,000,000, and there will be an en- dowment fund of $500,000. More than a million dollars has been raised in cash and pledged, tentative plans for the temple are prepared and will be submitted for ratification to the as- sociation Tuesday morning. In the event of their ratification, the actual work of construction will be begun . this year. Plans of Memorial. The temple will be erected in George Washington Park, on a plot of ground containing thirty acres. the. grand master of Massachusetts: G. western slope fronting Alexandria. The height of the elevation above tidewater is 145 feet and the temple will tower 200 feet above this, over- looking and commanding a splendm{_mmnmmmmu""m view of Washington and the Potomac river and bringing Mount Vernon in plain view. . The proposed temple will be 150 by 200 feet and will comprise lodge, com- mandery. chapter and rooms for other Masonic bodies, including a room for the members of the associa- tion to meet each year. Apartments have been provided for a museum, memorial hall, art gallery, executive offices and library, also an auditorium with a seating ompacity of about 1,200 persons. \ In the room provided for the purpose will be deposited the relics of Alex- andria-Washington Lodge. It will be an exact reproduction of the lodge- room erected by Washington's cotem- poraries in 180 in which the collec- tions, now p ss in a historic and monetary sense, were first deposited when they came from the relatives and friends of the great patriot. The tentative pians have been pre- pared by Helmle & Corbett of New York: with Osgood & Osgood of Grand Rapide, Mich., #s consulting architects, and Olmsted Brothers of Brookline, Mass., as landscape archi- tects. $625,000 Received. The last report on the amount of money collected, received by Charles H. Callahan, local secretary, showed that the cash in the treasury for t temple was $625,000. with a flar numper of pledges which would ra: the amount $1.200,800 to $1,500,000. Since the receint of this information a number of statss have made returns the amount of which will not be made public till the meet- ing of the assodition Tuesdav. Personal representatives of the as- sociation, working under the im- mediate direction of the various grand masters, have been appointed in forty- , five states and about forty of these representatives have signified their intention to be present 2t next Tues- day's. meeting. All but two jurisdic- tions have joined the association. Strange to say, the grand lodges holding allegiance to Masonry in our insular possessions. such as the Grand Lodge of the Philippines and Porto Rico._have not only joined, but the «Girand Lodge of the Philippine Islands has contributed $1,500 to the temple fund. Porto Rico also has made a substantial contribution, and dona- tions have been received from the lodges in the Panama Canal Zone and Alaska. Vast Sum to Be Raised. There are 2,540,000 Free Masons in continental America, and it is infend- ed to raise a sum equal to $1 per capita, which, from present prospects, will be accomplished in a very short while. About 150 representatives from the grand Masonic bodies in the United States are expected to attend ‘ this meeting and participate. These, in addition to the state chairmen re- ferred to, will make a grana total of about 200 delegates who will attend. This movement has been gradually growing. The first meeting held here in 1910 was a small and insignificent affair, only eighteen delegates being each vear has witnessed al increare in the number of representatives. A large number ions, and among them the far western states, have contributed their husetts, with 93.000 Masons. has collected and turned in $110,000 and the District of Columbia has vxceeded her a as_has also Con- nectiéut, Delaware.
