structure of which the stanchions and beams are steel, will be completed about the end of July. The three floors will give 55,000 square feet of space. The ground floor is to be used for the storage of artificial manures, the second for grain and the third, which will be lit with southern lights for the storage of wool and also for wool-classing. There are four cart docks, three facing St. George’s Bay Road and opening to the ground floor and one in Farnham Street, giving access to the first floor. Chutes, electric conveyers and elevators for goods and for passengers will be installed. The roof will be of steel principals with corrugated asbestos sheeting. The architects are Chilwell and Trevithick and the builder Mr. R. A. Cornish.
