Mr. End, from the Committee appointed on the 18th January last, to take under consideration that part of His Excellency the Lieutenant Governor's Speech at the opening of the Session, relative to a new Provincial Building, submitted their Report, which he read, and handed the same in at the Clerk's Table, where it was again read, and is as follows :— " The Committee to whom was referred that part of the Speech of His Excellency the Lieutenant Governor which relates to a new Province Building, report: " That having had the subject under consideration, they have come to the following conclusions:—They are of opinion that there exists an urgent necessity for affording G1 accommodation accommodation to the Legislative Council; the present Chamber is quite too small, and three or four Committee Rooms seem to be indispensably necessary ; additional Committee Rooms are also required for the use of the House of Assembly; as well as a fire proof room for the safe keeping of Records and other public documents. " The Committee do not recommend that a new Province Building should be at present undertaken, and are of opinion that the necessary accommodation can be obtained by adding a transept to the present Province Hall, the roof of which will be a continuation of the rear pediment. A plan and elevation have been submitted to the Committee by Mr. Thomas Smith, Architect; the design of which is to afford a new Council Chamber of spacious dimensions, additional Committee Rooms for the House of Assembly, and a fire proof safe of sufficient size. Of the present Council Chamber three spacious Committee Rooms may be very conveniently formed. The Province Hall is found to require repairs; the sills and under work being considerably decayed; and the roof of the Committee Rooms, and of the wing at present occupied by the Clerk of the Supreme Court, being in some degree defective. "The whole expense of the addition and repairs recommended by your Committee would not exceed two thousand pounds, and the Committee are of opinion that if this project should meet the approbation of the House, no very important repairs or alterations may be necessary for several years.
