Dr. McGlauflin who was appointed a committee of one to look after the rent owning by the church to the Good Templars reported that he had made no progress in adjusting same and suggested that as Br. Harvey was an officer in the Good Templars Lodge he could look after this matter better. Upon motion, the matter was therefore referred to Mr. Harvey.
