107 DIWALIS

rooms for prisoners, in a convenient position.

10. Outside the warts, some slight alterations seen desirable, the removal of a ramp and substitution of a flight of steps to economize space; the removal of a drying house to a more convenient situation; and in the yard thus left unobstructed, except by one flight of steps, the construction of a roofed-in shed of two floors with open sides, for shot drill on ground floor, and piling drill on upper floor.

11. None of these proposals involve any large or expensive structural alterations, all can probably be executed by prison labour, but nothing can be commenced until the new quarters for officers outside the Gaol are completed, which will probably be in 1899.

12. The buildings seem to be now arranged in the best possible manner, considering the limited space on which they stand, which seems practically to preclude any further extensions.

I have,

(Sgd.) R. D. Ormsby,

Director of Public Works.
