GOOD PROGRESS ON THE NEW

BUILDING.

The following report by the Director of Public Works was laid before the Legislative Council by command of His Excellency the Governor to-day :---

Progress on this building dur- ing the past three months has been very good and about half of the carcase of the building is now constructed. If the present rate of progress · is' maintained throughout the work the School should be completed well within the contract time which expires in April, 1926. "

The level which the work has reached at the present time is as" follows:-

.

Northern Half (comprising swimming pool, changing rooms, gymnasium, covered

playground, etc.) At a level of about 22 feet above the play- ground.

Southern Half (comprising "mainly class rooms, cloak rooma, etc.) At a level of about 28 feet above the play- ground. "

The whole of the wood casing to receive the reinforced concrete floor above the gymnasium is com- pleted and that above the covered playground is well in hand.

The reinforced concrete floor to the whole of the southern half is completed and the brickwork has reached a level of about 6 feet Labour.it
