Mr. OSBORN-I beg to move, sir, that this amendment bo referred to the leading architects in the Colony for their consideration and opinions.

QUARTERLY INSPECTION COMMITTEE'S
EPORT. The fourth report of the Quarterly Inspection Committed was laid on the table..
*****A QUESTION OF CONSTRUCTION, Correspondenes relative to the height of the floors at No. 21, East Street was laid on the table. This matter was before the Board at its mesting on the 19th lust, and on the motion of the PUKSIDENT was referred to the next meeting of members,
Mr. BREWIN repealed the remarks he then made, and sald thu na tuo floors in question were only three inches below the statutory height they should be allowed to remain.
In opposing the application of the owner in this respect, Mr. OSBORNE sald-If we grant this request to shal' bring no end of trouble on aursolves in the fetare. The maximum, or the minimum height, rather, has been set, and everyone knows it.,
B
Mr. BREWIN-It has been altered lately." Mr. OSBORN-If wo aro prepared to grant exemption in this case simply because there is difference of three inalis only, I don't see why the same argument should not apply to four inches or five inches, er even six inches. In fact, I don't see where yon are going to apply the limit, and as for as I am concerned I shall certainly vote against the request.
Mr. FONG WA CHUSI think this is only a conditional concession. The house, as the Vice-President has informed the Board, is only to be used us a godown-not as an ordinary tenement bouse,
Mr. BREWIN➡As a place of business. After a pause, Mr. Barwin said-I beg to more that the motion I niede at last meeting be adopted That the owner of this house bo informed that the mezzanjas floor on the top story of Ne..21, East Btreet le reduced to one half the floor area, and that otherwise the floors be permitted to remain as they are. so long as the house je occupied as a hong and the first floor need simply as a godown.".

His Excellency Sir Ernest Butow returnid from the South on Monday.

Tientain has been eager to extend its practical sympathy, to Mrs Kirby, the widow of the late Sergeant Kirby of the Royal Weish. This highly estesrued officer died on St. Andrew's Day, after a brief fillness. He was a typical example of the Sergeant What shisname, whose praises Mr. Kipling has sung so well., and who is at once the backbone of the army, and an exemplar of English characteristics. We are glad to hear that the subscription list, which eminated from the Consulate, has mot with a generous support.
