- £<cllcU a The construction of the proposed temple for Bontoc Lodge No- 140, which was a subject of an extensive fund drive since 1960 by the Bontoc Masonic Temple Association, Inc. was finally started on February 4, 1967. Wor. Bro. Severo G. Pimentel, Secretary of the Association, led the members of the Lodge in clearing and leveling the proposed building site. Three days later the members and some hired laborers finished the con crete foundations. After the delivery of materials on March 1, carpenters began the work on the superstructure. Available funds of the Association will complete the framework. The roofing will have to wait until more contributions from members, sympathizers and friends are received. To start the construction, WB Victorino N. Ringor, our Lodge secret ary, donated r2.000.00. With this am ount plus P400.00 of the Association’s balance in the bank after the purchase of the lot which costs ?4,20000, it decided to start the constructtion des pite the fact that it is not sufficient to complete all the framing of P17,000.00 edifice. The resumption of work on the pro ject depends upon the availability of fund which may be collected by the association in its fund campaign. The Association is now trying to find means bv which to raise funds enough to fin ish even only the second floor which they can occupy for their lodge meet ings.
