slow improvement to be made in equipment. Unfortunate- ly this is at present impossible in the case of two very important laboratories viz the Steam and the Hydraulics Laboratories. They are housed in an old building which is quite unsuitable for the purpose, both are cramped for room even with the present inadequate equipment and ex- pansion is impossible for either. The present site with a building would be suitable for the Hydraulics laboratory and it would seem desirable that the Steam laboratory should be moved to a building adjoining the Ho Tung Workshop. Further it is desirable that the Steam laboratory and the internal combustion engines should be housed together in a Prime Movers Laboratory and the proposed new steam laboratory should be large enough for this purpose. The gas and oil engines are at present in a temporary building where the equipment is cramped and with no room for ex- pansion. The cost of a new building for a combined Prime Movers Laboratory including the removal of the existing equipment thereto has been estimated at a cost of from $80,000 to $100,000 and the provision of a new building for the Hydraulics Laboratory would probably cost a further $50,000. Until this has been done the instruction in these very important subjects cannot be considered satisfactory and the need for these two new buildings is extremely urgent.
