Astoeu, Dec. 25tli, 1882. Editor Daily Asterux: In your paper of the 24th inst aro some questions asked by "inquisitive tax-payer, (delinquent tax-payer would have been a more appropriate pseudonym) whiehl Bhall, with yonr permission, endeavor to answer. At the meeting of the the board of directora of school district No. 1, when it was decided to collect the fivo mill lax, the school clerk was instruct ed to loan the money soon as col lected on good terms as possible till needed for building purposes. It would, however, be very difficult for ., Azrann ,.. iMrt n An linquent tax-payers money before he pays it ill. "Inquisitive tax-payer" or any other person, can borrow what money there is left on hand by giving suf ficient guarantee that he will refund the same with iutercst when required by the directors. The directors decided to levy and collect the said five mill tax this last season for the simple reason that contractors will put in much lower bids when they know the money is in tho treasury than they will if they have to wait the pleasure of delinquent tax-payers to get their pay. Perhaps it would be as well for me to give at this time somo of the reasons why tho directors concluded not to build the school house the past season. As it is well known bids were advertised for and the con tract awarded to the lowest bidder who soon after notified the directors that he declined to take the job, as signing as a reason that building ma terials of all kinds had advanced in price and that two of the articles needed first, namely: lime and brick, could not bo had under sixty days' notice. The next lowest bid was two thousand dollars higher than tho bid accepted, so thi directors consulted with some of the principal tax payers of the district, and upon their advice concluded to wait till the first of Jan uary, 1883, and see if the contractor will take the job of building the school house at his bid. If he decide not to enter into contract at that figure, the directors will advertise for new bids, so as to give tho contractor, who over ho may be, ample time to take advantage of the winter or early spring market to buy his materials and get the school house finished by the 1st or 15th of August next. Had the directors gone on with the building and paid an extra $2,000 to the next lowest bidder and htd to pay from $1,000 to 1,200, for a year's interest on borrowed money necsssary to finish and furnish it; besides having tho building dragging through the winter months, like the Odd Fellows' building, "Inquisitive Tax-Payer" would have had greater cause for complaint than ho has now. If the tax-payers will lend a help ing hand, utter kind words of en couragement and vote another five mill tax at the next annual school meeting only a small loan will be needed to complete a much needed school house, one that every body in .tho district may be proud of, and it will be an ornament to the city as well. But if contractors see that some "in quisitive tax-payers" are finding fault and grudgingly pay their school taxes they are not likely to put in any very low bids. If "Inquisitive tax-payer" knows of any one who can build a school house without money or levying and collecting taxes it will afford mo tho greatest of pleasure to have such a person elected as my successor at the coming annual school meeting for school district No. 1. Very Respectfully, J. W. Gearujiut, One of the Directors. "MAKE XEtT AGAIX." Mrs. Ws. D. Ryckmak, St. Cath erines, Ont., says: "R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N.

The following are condensed from late decisions as given in official digests: "l. Subordinate bodies are sovereign as to tho amount they will pay to their sick members, as weekly benefits, but the same amount must be paid to all sick members of the samo rank or degree. 2. Lodges shall have tho right to prescribe that a member shall bo in membership for a certain time ere ho is entitled to benefits and also to say that a larger amount of benefits shall be paid to a member of a higher de gree in the order than to an initiate, or one of a lower degree. 3. Lodzes have the right at any time to increase or reduce benefits, in a constitutional manner, and said in crease or reduction operates aliko on all, whother sick or well. A. To be entitled to benefits of any kind a member mutt bo in good stand- ' ing when takeu sick. He cannot, if in arrears at tho time of being taken sick, pay -up so as to entitle him to benefits during said sickuees; nor, if he is in good standing in a sick-benefit paying society at the commencement of his sickness, can ho become in arrears. G. In a body which required that a member Bhould be in membership six months before entitled to benefits, a brother was taken sick ere the six months expired, and was sick several months, it was a rule that after the first six months had expired he was entitled to benefits. G. Lodges, etc., can make by-laws prescribing the terras and conditions upon which members shall bo entitled to benefits, and all members are sub ject to any changes or amendments that may be made to said by-laws. 7. A written waiver or release given by a member, stating "that for certain considerations no claim will hereafter be made for weekly bone fits," etc., is illegal and void. 8. Subordinate bodies have the right to adopt a by-law that when a certain amount (say $1000) has been paid to any one member for benefits, that no more shall be paid to him except at tho optiou of tho body. 9. A member showing that he has been unduly influenced to report him self well or "'out of ciro," can recover benefits. 10. A member who has ignored or abandoned a claim for benefits for years, c.innot revive the samo and recover. 11. A member who, though sick and disabled, is yet able to go out, collect debts and make contracts, is not entitled to benefits as a matter of right or legal claim, but the matter is entirely within the control of his lodge. 12. Legal representatives of a de ceased member, other than widow, orphans or dependent relatives, are not entitled to his beneficiary dues. 13. The payment of dues, assess ments, and a strict complying with tho pecuniary and fraternal laws, are requisite to entitle a member of his family to benefits. 14. Insane members are entitled to benefits. Also those who may be nick and provided for by government, state or local authorities. 15. A brother was taken sick who was in arrears for duos, but the lodge owed him for his services as an officer an amount which if credited to him would have placed him in good stand ing prior to sickness. Held, that he was entitled to benefits 1G. Lodges, etc., cannot donate to or reinstate a member during sickaess, so as to make him entitled to bene fits. 17. Undecided charges against a member does not deprive him of the right to benefits, but Buspend payment of them until a final decision. If de cision is favorable to him, said bene fits must be paid for the time said charges were pending, and vise versa. 18. A member illegally suspended or expelled, who is afterward restored by action of the Grand body, if sick during the time said suspension or ex pulsion, is entitled to benefits. 19. A lodge has a right to withhold benefits from a member of whom it is believed that his sickness was tho re sult of his own immoral conduct, without bringing charges against him, or even convicting him. He, how ever, has a right to defend himself, etc. 20. When the question of benefits is one of mere fact as to "physical disability," the judgment of the su bordinate lodge is final A 'number of cases have been car ried into the Courts of law in the va rious states, but the decision of the higher Courts has always been that a person in signing the constitution and by-laws of an association binds him self or herself to support and abide by those particular laws, and cann t come into Court and secure anyinter ferenco with them.
