§ 8. Trustees. The persons executing such certificate and named
therein, shall be the board of trustees of such corporation. If but two
bodies unite to form such corporation, its by-laws may prescribe the
terms of office of the trustees. If more than two bodies so unite, the
trustees shall divide themselves by lot into three classes, not
including, however, the president, vice-president, secretary and
treasurer, if such officer shall have been elected as provided in
section seven hereof, who shall be one year trustees, so that the term
of office of the first class shall expire in one year; the term of
office of the second class, in two years; and the term of office of the
third class, in three years; provided, however, that no trustee shall
continue as such after he has ceased to be a representative.

On a vacancy occurring in the office of a trustee of such corporation,
the body which he represented shall fill such vacancy, provided the
bodies uniting to form such corporation do not exceed thirty in number,
and the person so chosen shall hold office for three years, if chosen on
the expiration of the term of his predecessor, and otherwise, until the
expiration of the original term.

But if the bodies uniting to form such corporation exceed thirty in
number, then any vacancy occurring by reason of the expiration of a term
or by failure of any trustee to be re-elected as a representative, shall
be filled for three years or for the balance of the unexpired term, as
the case may be, by the representatives in annual session; and any
vacancy occurring otherwise than as above specified, shall be filled
until the next annual meeting of the representatives by the body that
has lost representation by reason of the vacancy, when it shall be
filled by said representatives for the remainder of the unexpired term.
If the bodies uniting to form such corporation exceed thirty in number,
then the representatives, but if less than thirty in number then the
board of trustees, may admit or prescribe rules and regulations for the
admission as members of such corporation of other bodies chartered or
instituted by the same general governing body as any of the bodies named
in such certificate, or by any superior or higher jurisdiction or
governing body of the order to which any of such bodies belong, and may
prescribe rules and regulations for the withdrawal, expulsion or
suspension of any body or bodies having membership in such corporation.

Where the bodies uniting to form such corporation do not exceed thirty
in number, the board of trustees shall fix the term of office of such
trustees elected to represent new members of such corporation at one,
two or three years, and shall so apportion such new trustees that as
nearly as possible the terms of office of one-third of the trustees of
such corporation shall expire annually.

Where the organizations so united are trades unions, trades
assemblies, trades associations or labor organizations, the board of
trustees may, from time to time, admit as members of such corporation
and of such board of trustees the representatives of any other labor or
trade organization or association whether or not the same be chartered
or instituted by the same general governing body as any of the bodies
named in such certificate, or by any superior or higher jurisdiction or
governing body of the order to which such bodies belong. The board of
trustees admitting such members shall file in the county clerk's office
a certificate showing such action, and the terms of the representatives
so admitted shall be fixed as above provided in the case of other
organizations.

Every corporation formed under this chapter must file annually
immediately after its annual meeting, in the clerk's office of the
county where such building is or is to be located, a certificate giving
the names and addresses of the principal officers of the corporation and
the names and addresses of the members of the board of trustees, and the
names and location of all bodies admitted to or withdrawn or expelled
from membership since the filing of the last preceding certificate. And
the several bodies comprising such corporation may by a two-thirds vote
of all the members present at any regular or special meeting, notice
whereof has been duly given according to the constitution, rules and
regulations of such body, adopt by-laws, rules and regulations for the
management and government of such hall, temple, or other building not
inconsistent with the laws of the state or the constitution, general
rules or laws of the grand lodge or other governing body to which it is
subordinate and may therein provide for the disposition of the revenues
arising therefrom and may in such by-laws, rules and regulations limit
and define the purposes and uses to which the net revenue from said
hall, temple or other building shall be applied, and when the same shall
be concurred in by all of said bodies, they shall be binding on said
corporation and thereafter said net income shall not be devoted or
applied to any other purpose.
