New Building at Singapore. Although many months must elapse before building operations are completed, already there are abundant indications, even to the inexpert eye, of the eventual im- posing and artistic appearance of the new edifice which is to shelter the activities of the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corpora tion in Singapore, says a local paper.

The impression will be aided by the use of granolithic, vivleg the eff ct of granite to the main construction of ferro-conerote. A unique feature of the work is that only in the construction of doorways is wood being used, the windows and casements being of start. The style of the building is English Renaissance, arch »/1 colonnades forming a public fool. path in which ample provision has been made for pedestrian. traff by increasing the width: From the regulation 7 feet to 10 feet: Sveral features will con tribute to the artistic effeotive.. ness of the building outwardly;; Bronz: railings will lend a“ fiue; effect to the verandahs encircling thebuildin,eparated by columns: {"running" through three storeys, the whole being crowned on the corner by the domed tower rising 136 feet above the ground. Bronze plates bearing the name of the Corporation in English and Chinese characters: the glimpse through the archways of the four specially made bronze doors, 18 feet in height and 9 feet across adorned with 'massive tigers' heads "in full relief, as well as the cost-of-arms at the top of the building above the Battery Road 'entrance, and the monographic. character above the main entrano will add the final touch of exterio richness.

So much for the outward and visible signs of inward commer- cial integrity. Tside, the same careful and artistic attention being devoted to the work, which will be made apparent in the in terior aspect of the banking Fall above the spacious basement ac commodation. The banking hall will cover a floor spa e of 15,90 square fret. Counters and columne of marble, the latter surmounted by branza capitale, will the in en tira harmony with the marble for and the effective par elli of high ceiling, à unique feature is to be introduced into the liht aing arrangements of the ba king ball. In addition to the window light a 1ght dome is to be con structed above the centre of the hall, its dimensions 63 feet by 33 feet. This dome will consist of beatiful stained glass windowe, the outcome of a long period of work by one of the greatest Eɔg- lish artists in glass, bearing figuzos representing the nation s of the world with which the Cor- poration deas business. Com modious private office surround the main banking ball.
