The civic committee appointed to dis
.ouss the question of securing the removal
of the general offices of the Grand Trunk
Railway. to the centre of the city met yes
terday and decided to report to council
in favor of the ceding of the northern
part of Victoria Square to- the company
as free site, the company to erect there
on building of stone to cost not less
than $3.50, 600, to be begun next spring
and completed by the first of September,
1899. Instead of acceding to the COM
pany's request TO be exempted from taxa
tion for twenty-five years, the committee
recommends that the whole property be
assessed at fixed sum of 100000 for the
number of years mentioned.
Mr.. Hays, speaking Of the sketch plan
of the building sent to the Mayor yester-
day, said that it showed the general char
acter and design of the building though
not .the. exact detail as it would be carried
put after the usual elaboration. The
structure would cost in the neighborhood
If $3.50, 600, and the floor area, number of
'ffices, etc., was based on the present re.
luirements and the estimated future re-
luirements. 1t is proposed to set the
building back at both ends SO as to give
o the structure desirable appearance,
- md there would be grass plots or pave
nents in front. Mr.. Hays added that the
company held that the erection Of fine
building OF this class at this pointawould
greatly enhance the value Of property in
this vicinity. 1t had not been decided
whether the building should be wholly of
stone or Of. stone and brick combined.
