In the Bill under consideration opportunity is taken to revise throughout the building laws of the Colony.
The proposals in draft form were submitted to a Body of Architects for comments. The criticisms of this Body were care- fully considered and amendments were made, the individual mem- bers signifying their general ap proval of the final draft,
..Modern Practices Particular regard is paid to the requirements of open space in the light of modern hygienic practice; and it wil be appreciated that al- though sacrifices are required, these are not greater than are deemed essential to place the city on A basis comparable with

of
minimum requirements other cities. The principle," re- cognised in the existing Ordin- ance No: 1 af 1903, of sympathetic treatment for Iota purchased prior to that Ordinance, is tetain- ed. Sections Nos. 81 to 88 of the Bill deal with this subject.
In Sections 87 and 88 important revisions are proposed in the matter of heights of buildings. The principal feature of these sections is the general reduction in height of the wall plate level and the compensating increase in the maximum height of the roof line. These revisions permit of improved lighting to streets and open spaces without causing re- duction in the cubical contents of buildings. As in the case of open space sympathetic consideration is given to buildings on lots leased prior to 1903/0
Although there are many other minor alterations; the remainder of the Bill substantially follows the existing Ordinance.

The financial result of the Cam- paign's first effort on a national scale, when so much preliminary spade-work was necessary, is very encouraging for the future, and it could not have been achieved without the help, freely given, of innumerable voluntary workers, whose work was none the less. valuable although they cannot be mentioned individually.
