Competitors must turn over in their minds what can be done to make the house a thing of beauty, and improve the planning arrangements to give two additional rooms. A large and comfortable living-room is required, which must be a good feature. Students may use their own judgment as to how additions can be effected. The roof is now covered with iron (in good enough condition to be left), but other roofing may bo suggested by competitors if they think same can be used without causing the work to be too extravagant in price. Outbuildings to be enlarged to take a motor. Provide for drainage to connect with sewer in North Street. The doors are of stock four-panel type 6ft. lOin. by 2ft. lOin., with Sin. stock moulded architraves; Gin. moulded skirting, etc., throughout. Ceilings of two front rooms are 12in. by Jin., covered with moulded battens balance 4in. by lin. P.T.G.V., with 4in. by bin. margins and If in. mould of satisfactory design. Grate, old-fash-ioned style, cement hearth kitchen range satisfactory. Client wishes repainting and papering throughout. There are friezes in two front rooms. Fencing satisfactory, but new large drive gate and small entrance gate required, the style of fencing being plain square picket 3in. by lin., 3in. apart. Designs for gates required. Competitors to show block plan, including outline of new house, ground, entrances, etc. In addition to plan section _ and say two (2) elevations, a short report with suggestions on the work is required, and a skeleton specification of materials and description of general finish, etc. A perspective view may be included finished in pen and ink, pencil or colour, but this addditional drawing will not necessarily add points to the judging of best design. Work not to cost more than £3OO (three hundred pounds). Mr, Alec. Wiseman, of Auckland, has kindly consented to adjudicate on this competition. Designs must be sent in, finished as above, under a nom-de-plume, address to Progress, 10 Willis Street, Wellington, and marked clearly “Twenty-sixth Prize Competition” on outside, with a covering letter giving competitors’ name and address.
