92. Public Works Department,—New Stores.—A description of the site and of the open shed for the storage of heavy materials was given in last year's Report. The quarters for the storekeeper and his staff were completed and occupied in June and the two-storied building for the storage of small stores was in readiness for the roof by the close of the year. Certain of the materials, beams, etc., for this building had to be obtained from the old, two-storied building erected in 1899 in the store-yard adjoining Praya East, the demolition of which could only be proceeded with after the quarters for the storekeeper had been completed.
The building containing the quarters is 3 stories in height, the ground floor being utilized principally for storage purposes and the two upper floors for habitation. It affords the following accommodation ---
Ground floor.—Two store-rooms, 17′ 4′′ × 14′ 8′′ and 17′ 4′′ × 10′ 8′′ respectively, and one room for watchmen, 21′ 0′′ × 7′ 8′′.
First floor.—Three rooms (to house 11 store-boys), 18′ 0′′ × 15′ 0′′, 18′ 0′′ × 17′ 0′′ and 10′ 0′′ × 8′ 0′′ respectively, with kitchen attached.
Second floor.—Three rooms and a kitchen, similar to those on the first floor, forming quarters for the storekeeper. Latrine accommodation is provided in the yard adjoining the quarters and a small, detached building contains a lavatory for the Inspector of Stores. The building is fitted throughout with electric light.
The walls are of Canton red brick with granite plinths, window sills and heads. The ground floor is laid with cement concrete, 4′′ thick; the whole of the first floor and the kitchen on the second floor with reinforced concrete, 6′′ thick; the remainder of the second floor being of wood. A verandah, 4 feet wide, is provided on the north-west front, the floors of which are of reinforced concrete, 6′′ thick, supported on 4′′ wrought iron pillars. Independent access is provided to each floor by means of an outside stone stair which extends upwards to Wood Road, thus affording access from that road.

1914 Expenditure.... 11,157.09
Expenditure to 31/12/14, ...... 47,584.02*
Owing to a clerical error, the expenditure to 31st December, 1913, was erroneously given in last year's Report as $36,507.95 instead of $35,426.93.
