Buildings for the New Mint, the drawings for which have been prepared

and sent out

It has been necessary to make a few alterations, such as the removal of the Kitchen and Servants' offices from the buildings in the Compound to the compound's walls, and the strengthening of the brickwork to 2.3' thickness instead of 2.18". The Hay loft to the stable is done away with. With these alterations, the drawings remain as sent out by Bapt. Kindy.

The buildings consist of the offices with Superintendent's Quarters, and the coupled Foreman's Quarters and Stables on the East and West sides.

The next thing within the boundary walls of the Compound, which is enclosed by a wall, are the offices.

Approved,
