The Government's new residence at the Peak, which is a handsome two-storeyed mansion, very different from the old bungalow, is now rapidly approaching completion. It stands on a plateau above the old site whicl is available for extensive lawns and forer beds. The house, which contains very sufficient accommoda-ion for the Governor, family, secretary and A. D. C., was designed by Messrs. Palmer and turner, and was erected under the supervision of the Public Works Department. It cost, I believe, something orer $60,000, in addition to the outlay for levelling the site.
