ABSTRACT OF PROCEEDINGS. XI. 



trical Engineers, Knowledge, Mining Journal, and Notes 

 and Queries. These journals are readily available in other 

 libraries in Sydney and were rarely consulted in our library. 



Throughout the year the Council has had under consider- 

 ation the question of making alterations to the Society's 

 House. After long discussion plans were prepared. On 

 tenders being called the design submitted was found to be 

 too costly for the Society to finance. An amended scheme 

 is now under consideration. This plan provides for library 

 space occupying the whole of the basement as in the larger 

 scheme ; for underpinning the front wall and rendering the 

 lower rooms waterproof; for enlarging the hall except in 

 respect to the gallery; for using the Caretaker's quarters 

 for offices; for building new quarters for the caretaker on 

 the roof; and for renovating certain rooms.
