9. If the foregoing proposals are carried out we are of opinion the accommodation provided will i every respect be superior to that at present existing; but we have to point out that it has been foun impracticable to provide within the premises quarters for the First Clerk to the Magistrates, it being inadvisable to increase the height of the new Magistracy beyond that shewn on the accompanyi tracings, on account of such increase interfering with the quarters of the Captain Superintendent Police and those of the Police Inspectors.
10. We attach tabular statements shewing the present accommodation and that proposed, and; return of the daily average number of prisoners incarcerated during the last four
years. From these it will be seen the accommodation now proposed is in excess of the average require ments during the last four years.

11. We have to point out that these proposed alterations, if adopted, will have to be carried out Hospital,
Ward AI, degrees and if, as is anticipated, the partial adoption of the Separate System reduces the number. prisouers some reduction in the accommodation now proposed may be found practicable before the whole of these alterations are completed.
12. The estimated cost, as furnished by the Director of Public Works, of carrying out the for going alterations and additions is as follows:-
Converting existing associated cells into single ones, ....
Additions to wards B1, Bu, BI, DI, Du, Du, and out-buildings,
Alterations to Drill Shed,
