Competitive Designs for Post Office, Treasury, &c.

The designs, 3 in number, were closely scrutinized and, after some discussion as to the best method of procedure, it was unanimously agreed that a comparative statement should first be drawn up, show- ing, in parallel columns, the requirements set forth in the conditions of competition and the extent to which these were fulfilled by the several designs and that this statement should be forwarded to the Heads of Departments to be housed in the new building with a request that they would criticize the designs and state which they considered best in point of arrangement as regarded their various depart-

ments.
