proposed in this Report should not be deferred until the

transfer is made.

The Governor, with the support of the Council,

has appointed a Committee to consider this recommendation

for a transfer. The Council debated the question whether,

pending the issue of this Committee's Report, the proposed

building schemes for the provision of new Science

laboratories (at an estimated cost of $300,000) and staff

flats should be proceeded with, and finally decided by

12 votes to 3 that these projects should be proceeded with

in view of the fact that the buildings are urgently needed

and that many years must elapse before the removal scheme,

consider a tims if accepted, could be carried out. The automa

involved are fully set out in para. 7 of the Governor's

despatch at 2, and the Governor expresses his full con-

currence in the views of the majority. It is interesting

to note that the probability is that the removal of at any

rate the teaching part of the University will not be

recommended.

The Committee finally recommend in their Report

additional expenditure of $22,000 annually on University

libraries for a period of at least 7 years.
