Timber and fittings to be supplied by Government. The work has proceeded very satisfactorily, and at the termination of the year the whole of the basement had been completed. This portion of the building is entirely arched over in brickwork, and thus rendered secure from fire, whilst it also prevents the communication of noise or effluvia from the cellars, as well as from the apartments to be occupied by the Servants. A thorough system of ventilation has also been adopted, the fresh air being admitted from the Verandahs, and also discharged therein, so that it is received quite pure and uncontaminated. The most beneficial arrangement as regards stability I consider to be in the plan I have adopted for the formation of the floor of Verandahs; they are supported upon arches similar to those of the Basement, the spandrels being formed hollow to lighten the weight thereon and prevent any unnecessary thrust. The surface will be levelled with a concrete formed with broken bricks three inches thick, and that covered again with a course of 3/4 inch marble set in cement.
