back of the building, there will be utility balconies for the drying of laundry, etc. Garbage chutes will be located in these balconies for the disposal of rubbish to collection points on the ground floor.

The new block of apartments will be a very attractive one, modern in appearance with regularly spaced windows of generous proportions and almost circular balconies projecting at both corners of the north eleva- tion as principal architectural fea- tures. Although the block is very large the monotony, which could easily have occurred in the main sym- metrical elevations, has been avoided by breaking these up into sections by the vertical staircase windows and by the covered verandahs to the central apartments.
