10th July, 1890.
To the Commissioners, &c. &c.
Gentlemen,
In accordance with your instructions I have made
a careful examination of the seven designs sent in competition
for the above. Each design has been illustrated by the
required number of drawings, and in some cases additional
drawings have been sent in.
Also (with one exception) all the competitors have sent
in perspective drawings, illustrative of their respective
designs.
Several designs shew much ingenuity in the arrangement
of plan so as to meet all the requirements contained in
the instructions.
I have of course studied the Designs with special regard
to the following particulars :—
As to arrangements of the Plan.
As to adequate Lighting and Ventilation.
