working of the school and to ascertain what arrangements could be made to facilitate its successful management. The Committee consisted of six prominent members of the congregation — Mr. Justice E.J. Hodgson , the Honorable Fred Brecken , Mr. Edward Bayfield , Mr. W.A.O. Morson , Mr. F.P. Carvell and Mr. W.L. Cotton . On a motion by Mr. Cotton the officers of the various Ladies Societies were appointed a committee to devise ways and means of providing for the deficit. On May 13th the Committee Report recommended that envelope holders be asked to contribute an additional 10% to defray the cost of the school deficit. This report was accepted and carried at a special meeting held at that time. Plans for a Cathedral Rectory. A Special Meeting of the congregation was called for September 16th to consider the question of building or purchasing a Rectory. Mr. Morson read the agreement entered into between Mr. Fred Peters and himself (as Trustees of the Rectory Fund) and the Ladies of the Congregation who had founded the Rectory Fund. From the reading of the agreement it was apparent that the fund could not be made use of until it amounted to $3,400.00 which had been deemed at that time a sufficient amount to accommodate either the purchase or construction of a Rectory. The general opinion expressed at the meeting reached agreement that it was inadvisable to build or purchase a Rectory at that present time as the fund then amounted to only about $1,200.00. No steps could be taken in regard to the use of any or all of this fund until the sum of $3,400.00 had been raised and that fund became available for use by the Trustees. It was decided that efforts should be directed towards raising the remaining capital needed for completion of the project. Another meeting was held on February 17th, 1904 at which time Father Simpson presented and explained the plans and complete estimates of the cost involved in the erection of a Rectory. He also presented a statement of the funds now available for this matter. Since the previous meeting, Mr. Justice E.J. Hodgson had donated a parcel of land on to be used towards the building of a Rectory and if sold, the interest was to be allowed to accumulate for the same purpose. This property had since been sold to the League of the Cross for the sum of $1,000.00. Father Simpson also read a letter from Mr. Hodgson , which he had recently received, making a further promise of $2,500.00 to be put towards the support and maintenance of the Rectory. Following a discussion of the matter it was resolved that the question of building a Rectory for the Priest Incumbent be seriously considered and that a committee of five be appointed to look into plans, specifications, estimates, etc. The Committee, consisting of Mr. Carvell , Mr. Mitchell , Mr. Hogg , Mr. 137
