The Tyrone Orange Hall was never properly finished and it is felt that it would be a most suitable way for the Orangemen of Tyrone to Counter-celebrate the Anniversary of '98 by completing their County Hall and putting it in such a state of repair as will make it a credit to the Institution to which it belongs It is intended to thoroughly renovate the Hall and to supply much needed accommodation in the form of Caretaker’s rooms Lavatories,&c,&c, and it is for this purpose that the present Collection "and Bazaar in November next" have been undertaken. The County Grand Lodge of Tyrone meets every November in this County Hall, and any member attending its Meetings can assure you of the want of accommodation in the Building and its present need of Repair. If every Lodge in Tyrone subscribed the small sum of £1 we should be able to undertake the necessary work at once. Will you kindly, therefore, lay this matter before your Lodge and solicit from it a subscription for this work and by so doing you will greatly oblige Yours Fraternally, CHARLES MULLIN W.M. L.O.L. 850 Chairman of Committee. WM. [William?] ALEXANDER M'CAUSLAND [McCausland?] Secretary Omagh District Hon. Secretary to Committee JOSEPH DILLON L.O.L. [Loyal Orange Lodge?] 937 Treasurer P.S. Subscriptions will be gratefully acknowledged by any of the above Transcribed by Jim Buchanan |
