quite elaborate. There are forty windows in the
tower and the whole building contains 100 win
dows, in which 5000 panes of glass were used. The
lower sash has one large pane and the two upper
sections twenty panes each. The waiting rooms
are provided with toilet and dressing rooms and
every convenience, and will be furnished with car
seats with nickel frames. Large stoves furnish
all the heat required. The view of the bay from
the clerks Office, looking out through the ladies'

may be fitted up for private Office.
