The Interi r of the St. George's and St. Andrew's Halls, as well as of the building generally, needs fresh col ur-washing and paint ing, but as the txpra:s in connection with the «itérviona and improvements to the st ge and gas fitings of the theare, carried out in con- rcion with the Amateur Dramatic Club, bive bsen considerable, the Commitee has deemed it advisable to wait till next year before redecorat- log the other portions of the building.
