NOTES
At the June 11, 1834 Quarterly Communication, the Grand Lodge voted as follows:
"That the Charter of every Lodge which has ceased to hold its meetings, and has not paid its dues to the Grand Lodge, be surrendered; and in every case of surrender, where the Lodge is unable to pay said dues, that the same be remitted: Provided nevertheless, that if the members of such Lodge, or a major part of them, shall after such surrender, desire to act as a regular Lodge, they shall be holden to pay said dues, and upon such payment shall be entitled to receive their said Charter: Provided also, that said surrender shall have been made in conformity to the Bye Laws touching the surrender of Charters."
