"Resolved, That the Transfer Certificate Law of the Sovereign
Grand Lodge be so amended as to permit a charge for admission on
Transfer Certificate, when the brother desiring transfer is above the
maximum age prescribed by the various Jurisdictions for ordinary
admission, so that such form of admission shall be in conformity with
extra charges for advanced age as levied in the various Jurisdictions,"

fer Law so as to allow Subordinate Lodges to charge a fee for admis-
sion by transfer certificate, therefore, be it
Resolved. That Article 10 of Section 2 of the Transfer Law, found
on page 394, Grand Lodge Journal of 1907, be amended by striking
out the words "That no fee shall be charged a Brother who shall be
admitted by transfer certificate," and insert in lieu thereof the words
"and such fee for admission by transfer certificate as fixed by By-Law."

in this Lodge for a less sum than is herein provided, viz: by
initiation $5, by deposit of card $2, as an Ancient Odd Fellow $5, and

certificate as may be fixed by By-Law, except that he shall pay
for medical certificate regarding his health should one be required
