Relief

The Master and the Wardens shall constitute the Committee on Relief, whose duty it shall be carefully to investigate all applications for relief, when the Lodge is not in session, and who shall have power to draw upon the Treasurer of the Lodge for a sum not exceeding one hundred dollars ($100) in any one instance, whenever, in their judgment, a demand shall be necessary to relieve the distress of a worthy Master Mason, his wife, widow, or orphans. And whenever said Committee shall grant such relief, it shall report to the Lodge at the next Stated Communication thereafter, the amount of such relief and for whose benefit it was granted, and such report shall be noted in the minutes of the proceedings of the Lodge.
