Room.
The shelves in this room have been taken away, the
walls plastered with Portland and faced with Keen's
cement, one tier of 1-in. and two tiers of 2-in. thick
slate shelves have been fixed on either side of this room,
they are carried on wrought iron supports, so that 12
coffins may now be deposited and hidden from view, the
whole of the shelves are enclosed by sliding doors, thus
improving the interior appearance of the room, and
making it more agreeable to those persons who are
engaged on the melancholy work connected with such
building.
I submit the accompanying Tables and Accounts,
which will furnish details and information in connection
with the before-mentioned works.
