The prio- cipal feature of the scheme is to construct a huge ball room, surrounded by a terrace garden, on" the roof, covering an area of 10,000 square feet. The ball room alone will occupy nearly 4,000 square feet. In the larger section of the terrace garden a stage for entertainments and moving pic

Alterations of the existing structure will make it convenient for local societies to uss the roof garden by arrangement, and for and once, to gain access, thereto without passing through the hotel. It is hoped to have these important improvements completed before. next has already winter; the Government approved the main lines of the scheme.
