86 ART GALLERY. 
6. The sum of, say, £100, will have to be provided in 
conformity with arrangements entered into with the Royal 
Institution Trustees, and it is imperative, also, that some 
re-lining and repairing of pictures in the Permanent Collection 
should be done forthwith. 
The same was approved, and provision has since been made in the 
estimates for 1908 for the carrying out of some of the 
recommendations made. 
In conformity to the decision of the City Council on the 5th June, 
the Gallery has since been open to the public on all Monday evenings 
from 7 to 10. The Sunday opening has been as hitherto, from 2 to 
4-30 p.m. during the months from October to May, inclusive. 
The regulations for students copying in the Gallery have been 
revised, with a view to better control in this department of work. 
The negotiations with the Trustees of the Royal Institution were 
brought to a satisfactory issue, and the Roscoe Collection is now 
deposited with the Corporation for a term of forty years, under 
an agreement which provides for their due restoration, and repair 
of frames, &c. 
The Special Committee formed in June, 1906, for a Historical 
Exhibition of Liverpool Art, to be held in 1907, found it expedient 
to postpone its exhibition until 1908, as the whole available 
accommodation in the Gallery was required for the purposes of the 
Historical Exhibition Committee of the Sept-Centenary Celebrations. 
That Exhibition, which was arranged by a Special Committee, 
of which the Curator was Joint Honorary Secretary, was entirely 
successful. 
During the year rooms have been utilized for the following special 
exhibitions :— 
1. Exhibition of the art of W. Holman Hunt, O.M., D.C.L. — 
2/2/07 to 2/3/07. 
2. Exhibition of works by Students at the City School of Art. — 
2/2/07 to 16/2/07,
