architecture of the city, and having no room on the 

 ground floor of the Art Gallery Building that could be 

 used for the purpose, have set apart a dry, spacious 

 room in the basement, where for the present such objects 

 can be preserved, and where by means of the electric 

 light they can at any moment be seen to advantage. 



The conditions under which the night watchman's 

 duties are performed have been improved. Direct 

 telephonic communication with the Central Fire Brigade 

 Station has been established, and reports are sent at 

 intervals during each night. The fact that the place is 

 never left day nor night, will inspire confidence as to 

 the safety of the valuable collections.

 November, 1907. Chairman.
