The Chairman laid before the Committee a plan which had been prepared for the erection of several blocks of flats on a site adjoining Park Road. The site in question was partly obtained by utilizing a portion of what was now known as the "West End Park and partly by resuming Inland Lot 805. The resumption of the lot mentioned had already been arranged.
The plan showed three 3-storied blocks, grouped round an oval plot of land and a fourth block, (also 3-storied), a little to the westward. Each block contained four 3-roomed and two 4-roomed flats, or six separate flats or quarters, all of which were provided with the necessary servants' quarters and offices. The estimated cost was as follows:
Group of 3 blocks, containing 18 flats, Fourth block,

The Committee unanimously approved of the plan submitted and were of opinion that the erection of the group of 3 blocks, containing 18 flats, should be proceeded with in the first instance.
The Committee then adjourned.
