missioner MacfarIand that the modihca-
tions which the architects had made in
order to bring the construction safely
within the amount available for that
purpose, leaving an ample margin for
mechanical equipment and for all con-
t.ngencies, had been very satisfactorily
worked cut with the cooperation Of Mr.
Parsons, who had shown a generous
spirit in the matter. The notifications
relate entirely TO ornamental features
Of the interior of the building, and ara
effected by substituting in q compara-
lively few cases cheaper but equally dur
able material.

obtain 2 suitable home Tor the Dis
trict government had been entered upon
and that all the arrangements made by
the building commission, including the
separate purchase or stone, and the Sc

stones offered were justified by the
satisfactory outcome.

from the well known character of Mr..
Parsons and his deep interest in the
present project. that it would be car
ried through successfully within two
years from November l next.

said in every possible way, and he un-
derstood that Mr.. Parsons would have
