in the minutes of any intention to move the Lodge to Crapaud, but a blank occurs in the minutes of any meetings from January 8. It is pos- sible that a minute book may have been lost.

The next recorded meeting was held at Crapaud on August 9, 1898.

After moving to Crapaud, the Lodge met in a hall in the upper part of a building owned by the late Donald McLean. After Mr. McLean’s death, the building, together with the lot on which it stood, was pur- chased from his widow, Mrs. Ella May McLean, in December 1924.

The Lodge continued to meet in this Hall until 1929, when the new Community Hall was built at Crapaud on the site of the old Hall.

By agreement between the Hall Committee and True Brothers Lodge No. 8, the Lodge owns and occupies the upper story of the new

building. 9 PRINCE ARTHUR L.O.L., CRAPAUD

At an extraordinary meeting of the Grand Lodge of the Orange Institution of Great Britain, held in the City of London, England, on the eighteenth day of April, 1832, and presided over by His Royal Highness, Ernest, Duke of Cumberland, Field Marshal, Grand Master of the Em- pire, it was unanimously resolved: That all the Provinces in the British North America, with the Dependencies, Colonies, and Settlements be— longing, appertaining, or adjacent thereto, be formed into a Grand Lodge, for the better working of the Institution, in such remote populous and extensive portions of His Majesty’s Dominions.

And, whereas, the brethren, hereinafter named, are now members of our Orange Association, to hold a Primary Orange Lodge at Crapaud, in the County of Queens, in the Province of Prince Edward Island, under authority, dated the fourteenth day of December, 1872, a dispensation was issued to Colin MacKay as Master, and whereas, by an act passed by the Parliament of Canada in the year 1890, the Grand Lodge of British America became a body Corporate, with the authority to establish Pro- vincial, County, District, and Piimary Orange Lodges.

In 1875, a warrant was issued to establish our said Brethren as an Incorporated Primary Orange Lodge, No. 1368, with power to hold pro- perty to the value of ten thousand dollars.

We do hereby nominate and appoint the following Officers:

Worshipful Master Oliver B. Wadman Deputy Master John Williams Chaplain C. C. McIntosh Recording Secretary Crisp Moore Financial Secretary D. S. McQuarrie Treasurer Peter McDonald Directors of Ceremonies - William H. Collett Lecturer William D. Sherren

To hold office until their successors are elected and installed, according to the constitution and laws of our Association.

For three years the members had a room over Howatt’s Store to hold their meetings. At their April meeting, 1875, a resolution was passed as follows: That it is the opinion of this Lodge, that a suitable room be provided, so that this Lodge, as a body, can call their own and meet with safety and respect to the Association — moved by Robert Reid, seconded by Archie Shaw.
