ART GALLERY. 59 
Unfortunately, the resources of the Sub-Committee will not 
admit, during 1911, of the much-needed  reflooring and 
redecoration of the entrance hall, which would complete the 
renovation of the ground floor, except as regards the introduction 
of a much needed passenger lift. 
By resolution of the Committee on 22nd August, 1910, the 
keramic fountam in room A was removed; and the room was 
redecorated, with good results as regards its improvement for the 
exhibition of works of art. The staircase leading from room F 
to the large room on the ground floor, known as No. 10 Room, 
was also redecorated New velarium blinds were fitted in rooms 
A. and F. . ae 
The spacious new workshop for gilders, made in 1909, has 
proved invaluable in the work of repairing frames, supervising 
pictures, and otherwise keeping the contents of the Gallery in 
E good order. In this connection the following work was carried 
= out :—
