' ; tlR . 182 18 0 The monthly meeting of the General Committee appointed by the subscribers of the lloyal Masonic Institute for Boys , was held on Saturday last , at Freemasons' Hall , London , Bro . the Right Hon the Earl of Euston . chairman of the Provisional Committee appointed by the Spacial Court held on the ( ith of June , presiding , the vicechairman , Bro . F . A . Philbrick , Q . C , grand registrar , being also
present . Several members of the provisional committee and a large number of life governors and life subscribers attended . After the formal business of the meeting had been transacted , and a list of sixty-nine candidates for admission to the school settled , sixteen vacancies were declared for the October election .
Bro . the Earl of Euston then presented to the committee the report drawn up by the provisional committee of its transactions since the ( ith of June , and his lordship read the report as , follows : — " The Report of the Provisional Management Committee appointed by the Special General Court on June ( ith . 188 !) .
" 1 . This committee has . since its appointment , held five meetings , one of which was at Wood Green . The Earl of Euston was elected chairman , Bro . F . A . Philbrick , vice-chairman , and Bro . J . I ) . Langton , lion . see . of the committee .
" 2 . On the 12 th June the late House , Finance , and Audit Committees passed a resolution handing over the management of the Institution to this committee , and this committee , on the same day , passed a resolution accepting the charge , and has since that day done all things necessary in carrying on the Institution .
" 3 . The matron and steward of the Institution having resigned , this committee has taken the matter into their consideration , and they recommend that the office of steward be not filled up for the present , but that the matron be at once appointed . They , therefore , ask that they bo empowered to make the appointment subject to the approval of the next general committee .
• ' 4 . The committee is ot opinion that a fresh medical officer is required , and recommend they be empowered to take the necessary steps to attain this result forthwith . " 5 . It appears to this committee that in the interests of the Institution and in order to carry out the wishes of the special court it is necessary there should be a change at as early a perio . l as
possible in the office of secretary . The committee are unanimous in recommending that a retiring allowance should be accorded to Brother Frederick Binckes , and asks the general committee to authorise it to confer with Bro . Binckes on the terms of his retirement , to arrange them if jiossible , and report thereon to the next general committee .
" ( i . The committee has under its consideration the various recommendations of the committee of enquiry , with a view to carry them out as desired by the general court . It has not lost sight of the question of the head mastership , but deems it advisable to reserve this with other important subjects for further deliberation . " 7 . The committ . c asks this general committee to confirm what it
has already done , and to depute to it the powers of the house , audit , and finance committees , in order that it may be duly authorised to carry out the directions given by the special court on the occasion of the appointment . The various duties devolving on the committee render it desirable in their opinion that they should be enabled to add to their number if found requisite .
" The committee have accepted the honorary services of Messrs . Kennedy and Hobbs . chartered accountants , and have appointed a sub-committee , who have received an interim report advising on the system of bookkeeping , and that sub-committee arc engaged in furthering the question of the financial condition of the institution . " Dated the ( ith day of July . ISS ' . l .
" ( Signed ) EI ' STON . " Bro . Philbrick , in moving "that the report of the provisional management committee now read bo received and entered on the minutes , and that its proceedings and recommendation do receive the sanction of this committee which authorises the provisional committee to carry the same into effect , '' said the committee found it necessary to ask that further members should be added to their
number , which was now 21 , but all of them did not attend . Some of these gentlemen , such as Bro . Gerard Ford , of Brighton , were not always able to be present , and the duties of the committee were becoming both many and arduous . The committee , however , was anxious to continue its labours with the same zeal , assiduity and thoroughness as heretofore , and would like some more brethren to
be conjoined with them . Bro . J . S . Cumberland seconded the motion . A short discussion arose on the report , the different speakers expressing their approval of the manner in which the provisional management committee had discharged the burden thrown upon them . Bro . James Motion asked whether the secretary had resigned in conformity with the wish expressed at the Special
Court of Juno ( ith . Bro . Binckes rose and said certainly not . He had not resigned . Bro . . Tames Motion then took exception to that paragraph of the report relating to a retiring allowance to the secretary . He strongly objected to any retiring allowance . It was , however , explained that no recommendation by the committee that a retiring allowance of any amount would bind the subscribers to the Institution in any war whatever . The committee could only
recommend , and whatever recommendation they might make would be submitted to a special or quarterly court of subscribers for their confirmation or rejection . 'The report was then agreed to without a dissentient voice , and a resolution was afterwards come to authorising Lord Euston to sign all cheques . Grants of C 5 and . £ 10 for outfits were made to some ex-pupils of the institution , and a vote of thanks to the chairman closed the proceedings .
