Morey, who stated that a decision had been ultimately reached te erect new Scottish Rite Cathedral on its splendid site at Thirteenth a: K streets northwest, which fronts 1 feet on K street and 147 feet on Thi teenth street, and includes the adjoin- ing lot recently purchased by the local bodies of the Rite. This decision, he said, had been reached after patient and mature consideration, as well as due notice to the Grand Lodge of the District of Columbia. By members of the Rite, it is said, the decision is con- sidered as evidence of final determi- tion o rt of the local Scot- tish Rite boilie: , not to unite in the Temple yjeet of a united asonic temple, although the membe of these bod as indivi- duals, 1 as Mr. Morey, are tak ing an a 1d a substantial inter est in the erection of the proposed temple on Temple Height No de- tails, howeve; to the reasons have been furnished for publication. The new & e cathedral will be an imposing a ir, which will include, in addition to an auditorium for ritualis tic purposes of the Rite, as well as for general public uses when not so em- with a full and properly equipped stage for Scottish Rite cere- monial: clubhouse facilities for the members of the Rite, as well as offices for its officers and other pur- poses. Stores, in all probability, will be provided for on the K street fron The announcement of Deputy More was received with vigorous applaus and cheers, for, it is said, the new cathedral will be a realization of the dream of the Scottish Rite member- ship for vears, and especially of Deputy Mor since he was commis- sioned as deputy for the District by the Supreme Council in October, 1921. Since this appointment the Rite has added 1 0 members to its rolls, an almost per cent increase of the number in 1921 In giving the facts out for publicati Deputy Morey carefully and specifically explained that the new cathedral was purely an affair of the Rite itself and that it was not te be considereéd in any sense as inimical to the Temple Heights project, in which not only he, but every memb of the Rite still main- tained the warmest int st, and would continue unabated active and financial suppor The membership of the Rite, he id, had looked for- ward to a new cathedral, with speci- fic provisions for its exceptional rit- ualistic requirements, conveniently located near the heart of the city, as a permanent home of the local bodies of the Rite, rather than as a Masonic structure of imposing architectural heauty, and these considerations could no longer be ignored. Illustrious Potentate Henry Lans- ‘burgh, upon his return from the Fifty- first session of our imperial council at Los Angeles, Calif., among the num- erous resolutions adopted, it was pro- vided that hereafter no temple will be itted to hold any sort of raffle er gambling scheme for the purpose of raising funds. In order to offset the old method of raising money the temple the imperial council voted th: the minimum dues of any temple 1 be $10. Another ruling of importance prohibits temples from holding ceremonials, circuses or any form of paid entertainment on Sun- day. The imperial council also voted to publish a monthly magazine. The Shrine will now have an official publi- cation which will reach all of the 600,- 000 shriners ol North America.
