water closets. The partition between parlor and gallery of 

 Hall to be fitted with glazed doors and transoms ; thus supply- 

 ing additional light, beauty, and ventilation, for the main Hall." 



" It is intended to raise the gallery about ten inches (10'') to 

 gain head room in the lobby, in the second story. The stairs 

 from the street to the second (2) story will not be changed. 

 A ticket-office is to be built in the partition between the lobby 

 and main Hall and the doors leading to the Library, stairways, 

 and main Hall made double." 



" One of the greatest improvements, in the opinion of the 

 Committee, contemplates cutting three (3) feet in width from

 can be formed , into Dressing-rooms, and used in connection 

 with the Hall, gallery, and connecting stairways. By this plan 

 the Library of the Society can be made more private, and the 

 whole or any portion used with the other rooms. The eftbrt 

 has been to plan stairs, lobl)ies, and doors so that their arrange-

 and, at the same time, retain them within easy control of the 

 Janitor." 



"The estimates from carpenters cover only the items shown 

 in plan and specifications. If a new front of Trenton pressed 

 brick is adopted, it is proposed to remove the old veneering of 

 mastic, the exterior course of brick, and the wooden cornice, 

 leaving the old windows, caps, and sills, and supplying a new 

 cornice of brick and copper."
