Property, Furniture, Jewels, Books, Papers, etc., of a Lodge

The document outlines the ownership and management of a Lodge's property, including furniture, jewels, books, and papers. It establishes that all property not held by special trustees belongs to the subscribing members of the Lodge, held in trust for their collective benefit. A Lodge risks forfeiture of its warrant if it pledges its jewels or furniture or allows any liens to be placed on them. Furthermore, it mandates that any member who ceases to hold an office must promptly transfer all relevant materials—such as books, papers, and documents—related to that office to their successor. This ensures continuity and accountability in the stewardship of Lodge property and reinforces the importance of adhering to these regulations to maintain the Lodge's standing and operational integrity.
