THE ALBERT INSTITUTE OF DUNDEE.—A meet-
iog of the shareholders of the Albert Institute Com-
pany was held in Dundee on Monday, for the purpose of
approving the plans prepared by Mr George Gilbert Scott
for the building ; Mr W. E. Baxter, MX., in the chair.
The report of the directors recommending the adoption of
the plans having been read, Sir David E. Baxter moved its
adoption, and in the course of his remarks stated that he
was prepared to give £3,000 and an additional subscription,
in order to assist in having the building erected according
to Mr Scott's plan, which will involve a greater cost than
the directors at first contemplated. The motion approving
the plans was unanimously carried, and it is expected that
the work will ba commenced shortly,
