OUT

Plans for the various buildings designed by Mr. James Lee, of T. Y. Lee and Sons, have already been approved by the executive com mittee of the association.

HOSTEL: Will have accom. modation for 600 boys and 200 girls in dormitories; administrative' offices for the Association's head- quarters; two suites for visiting dignitaries; a flat for the hostel warden; library; and lounge.
