Grave apprehension is felt by the Cathedral Council at the discovery that white ants have attacked the timber of the Cathedral roof and have made serious inroads on main sup- ports.

A quarter of the roof has been thoroughly examined and 13 bate. tens and other beams have been found affected by white ants.

The Rev, N. V. Halwand told a Telegraph reporter: "The last big examination of the roof was car ried out five years ago by Messrs." Leigh and Orange and since then they have made routine inspec tions every half year. On the last [occasion Mr. S. D.
