116. Government Civil Hospital,—Extension to Sisters' Quarters.—This work was referred to in paragraph 117 of last year's Report.
The work progressed satisfactorily, except during the period of unsettled labour conditions, and at the end of the year was almost completed, it being anticipated that the building will be ready for occupation early in 1926.
Owing to the impracticability of carrying out alterations to the existing adjoining Quarters until alternative accommodation is available in the new building, it has been necessary to temporarily defer this and the connecting bridge between the old and the new buildings until 1926.
