Dr. Barham made some remarks upon the summary of the 

 latest meteorological observations. He also stated with regard 

 to the extension of the building, as mentioned by the Chairman, 

 the fund started for that purpose had now reached about £400, 

 whilst they knew of several considerable additions to it that had 

 been promised, and there was every probability that the total 

 subscription would be sufficient to accomplish the object in 

 view. There had been recently presented a report from the 

 Royal Commission of Technical Education, by which they were 

 led to hope that the expense of purchasing the freehold would 

 not depend upon the subscriptions, but either upon municipal 

 funds or otherwise. The erection of such buildings would be a 

 vast advantage to Truro, and as a companion to existing Societies 

 it would be a great benefit to the whole county.
