The Sydney Citj; Council is endeavouring to create a beautiful sky-line for the citj by forbidding tho erection 'of nnsynimetrical additions to buildings. Last week it refused permission for tho construction cf a billiard-room on the roof of a hotel at the Haymarket. During the discussion of the application, Alderman Lindsay Thompson asserted that this was "another of those excrescences which are making Ilia city hideous." These people who put up tall buildings, he said, should be compelled to put up decent sky-lines. The skv-line in Macquarie Street was abominnble, with these pigeon-boxes. He hoped the council would insist on a good sky-line, particularly in tho vicinity of this place referred to in the application, becau.se as one camo down from" tho railway the thing would look hideous. The ordinary expenses of an ordinary working man's household are stated to, amount to £'1 10s. a week in Sydney. Such, at any rate, was the claim put forward before the Gas Makers' Board last week on behalf of the men's union. Mr. Croft, who appeared for tho union, said: "I have analysed the weekly bills of a labourer with an average-sized family, and placed all the items on tho most conservative estimate, in some cases 25 per cent, below that fixed bv the witnesses. Here is the resultßent, 135.: groceries, ]25.; bread, 25.; meat. 75.; milk, 35.; fucK Is.
