J. Lennox, and accepteil by tl Council, for the combined Municipal and County buildings. A great amount and labor has Imen spent by the Architect in perfecting these plans, and arrangement of all the different departments for the officials ; and the gi'eatei has been ex(!rcised in providing the necessary accomnKxlation, which lias been ai in the most perfect manner for the expeditious transaction of business, with due for light, ventilation, appearance and durability. The building, as shown, will be constructed in the most durable and subs manner, and as far as possible of Canadian materials. Contractors will be r to have all work, such o-s cut stone, carpenter and joiners' work, etc., etc., pi in the City, either on the building site or in its immediate vicinity. In onswer to the advertisement calling for tenders for the complete construction of the bi biiiiii tiilf tenders have been received by the Council, each tender being accompanied by a larj! deposit, together with the signatures of responsible men who are willing to become sureties f fulfilment ai the works, according to the submitted plans, a list of which appears hereafter. TllE EXTEI|I01{ The centre of the site is not exactly opposite the centre line of Bay street, but the plan ha so arranged that the chief feature of the building, viz., the tower, will stand in a direct line wi centre of that street, which will lead to the new square in the form of an aveiuie. Tin not interfere with the proper balance of the building, but will rather add to its effect, and harmony of the surrinun lings. T e propo.sed liuilding will be a massive structure designed in i Unnianes(|ne .style. The material which will be used will be Credit Valley grey .stone, witi Brunswick brown stone trinnnings, and the general appearance will be very effective. As it is plan, it will Ih' about three hundred feet scpiare; and following the outer wall-line, the circumferen be aiK)Ut eighteen hundred feet. It is propo.sed to place the building one hundred feet back from street, and to form the space in front into a small open park. From the level of Queen stre piirk will rise gradually to an elevation of from five to six feet, ending in a terrace thirty feet ti feet wide, upon which the building will stand. The terrace will be paved and will be enclosed low stone wall. There will be a carriage drive in a circular form from Queen street to the level terrace, on which it will opi'n directly in front of the main grand entrance. The sodded pari this circular drive and a broad footway leading to the entrance, will supply an attractive forej elevating and greatly beautifying the sight. The building will form a stjuare with (juadn courtyard in the centre. The west half, facing Teraulay street, will be used as County bu and the east half, facing James street, will contain the City offices. Each half will be provided main entrance, reached by several stone steps from the level of the sti-eet sidewalks to the level raised terrace. There will bo two entrances off Albert street on the north side, similarly cons to those off Teraulay and James streets. These main entrances will not have long flights of sf "> RIPTION er BdlliBIRG original Plans and Elevations that Lennox, innl accepted by the City lildings.

Bay street, but the plan has been 11 stand in a direct line with the form of an aventie. This will ler aus convenient and expeditious as possible. The main grand entrance will be located directly in the centre of the building, in the front fa^-ade, and will !« approachetl by a magnificent flight of stone steps, the longest one of which will be a'wut eighty feet — a width greater than that of most of our streets. THE TOWER The most striking feature of the front fiKjade is the massive tower, which rises to a height of two hundred and sixty feet. It is a solid yet graceful-looking structure, thirty-five feet at the base, with a stone work running up two hundred feet, and finishing with a roof and pinnacle of about sixty feet. Described generally, it is designed to show solidity at the base and lower portions, from which it ascends with easy symmetry and graceful lines. The design is well relieved, and, while conforming to the canons of (juiet tastefulness, it is expressive of vigor and go. From the roof-line of the building to the roof-line of the tower the angles are finished with rounded buttresses. The upper portion con- tains a belfry, made in the formation of a colonnade, with arches carried on clusters of colunuis. Above the belfry, and supporting the rot>f of the tower and the clock room, there is also a colonntule, of which the colunms are several in depth, which gives the tower a very rich appearance. The clock in the tower will be from forty to fifty feet higher than that in St. James' Cathedral, and the dial will be twenty feet in diameter. Although the tower has Iwen designed as an ornament to the building, it will serve the useful purpose of supplying fresh air to the interior by means of ventilators placed in it. THE FRONT FACADE The grand miiiu entrance is formed of three large arches supported on cluster.T of columns, the whole being elaborately carved and enriched in the form of a loggia. It is balanced on the left side by the main tower just described, and on the right side by a smaller circular tower, which rises about thirty-five feet above the roof-line. Above the loggia is an elal)orately filled-in gable set back about fourteen feet It is chaste in design, and will stand one hundred and twenty-five feet above the level of the terrace. It contains the requisite windows for lighting and ornamentation. Those inunedi- ately above the loggia roof are striking in appearance. They have jambs formed of clusters of columns running two storeys in height, and enriched with carved caps, frieze anil mouldings, and are surmounted with well- relie veil cut arches. The .second row of windows in the gable are also arched, the jambs being of clusters of colunms. Each end of the front faijade has been designed as a main feature in itself, so as to proiluce a balancing effect ; and while they harmonize in outline they are altogether different in detail. On the west side, or County portion of the building, this front end feature has been brought out prominently by well-relieved window jambs, clusters of colunms and arches. On the east side, devoted to City offices, where the Moyor's apartments will be, and those of the other officials, the window jambs are also well relieved ; but the chief feature is a handsome bay window, the base of which is formed in heavy rock coursings for the ground Hoor storey. Above the coursings rise two groups of cluster columns, and off these springs the window. It rises to the height tf.ii*< TORONTO MUNIC] of two storeys, and is finished with enriched carved bands, columns, arched lieads and stone balustri The upper portion lias been finished in the form of a gable. The portions between the corner f( of the west side of thu building and the tower, and between the centre gable and corner feature o east side of the building, are in harmony with the design of the whole fa(;ade. The east and sides have been designed of similar outline, but are different in detail. TJIh! SIDE FACADES Coming to the east and west fiu,'ades, there is a main entrance in each, as already referri On either side of these entrances there are two small towers about sixteen feet square and one hu feet hifili. Between the towers each facade has been brought in the formation of a gable to b( the fruiit centre portion of the building. The lower portions of these gables have been formed int main siile entrances, each of which will have three arches. The centre arch will form the doc anil will lie about fourteen feet wide. The other two arches will form windows. The three arches be supported on columns ornamented with enriched caps and bands. There will be above the doc four large windows with enriched jambs, stone transoms, stone arched heads, and they will be decc with carved panel work. Higher up there will be several tiers of small windows set off with a heads and supported on clusters of columns. The stone work Initween the arched heads and wi sills on the .several gables will be formed in diaper work of different formations, so as to gi) ornamental and relieved appearance to the building. The small towers, wliich rise on either side o main side entrances, will be relieved with windows and ornamented in a handsome manner, am portions intervening are harmoniously worked in. THE NORTH SIDE The north side of the buildings, facing on Albert street, is of a plainer character than oi more conspicuous sides, yet it is in keeping with them. It will have three main features, one ii centre iind one at each end. The end features will be similar to those on the sides, as al described, only plainer. The centre portion of this side rises in the shape of a gable, of whicl lower part is a lai-ge arch, through which there will be an open driveway to the interior court This driveway is flanked with arched windows, having ornamented jambs, stone transoms, and ham stone work. Above the doorway there will be rows of ornamented windows, in keeping with the c described ; and the minor portions of the wall are appropriately decorated. One of the features ol north side will be the entrance to the Police Court, which will be through a large stone porti substantial build and effective appearance. This doorway will be twelve feet wide, and will be ported on heavy columns with enriched caps. GENERAL APPEARANCE The exterior of the building will be treated with a rock face, built in courses. It will tooth-ehiselled jambs, and will be relieved with bands of stone and diaper work. It will be fu beautified by mouldings, enriched carved bands and cornices. The ground floor will be carried i heavy coursings of alwut a uniform depth, and will be finished off with a heavy base coursing, building, from the base line to the eave line, will be in random course work, i.e., in alternate large .small courses. The portion above the roof-line will be finished in random Ashlar work. The faii'iule has been so designed that the portions of the wall between the window jambs grad diminish in width as they ascend in height, the unifornnty of the building being always kept in This, with the ett'ect of the heavy coursing at the base, which will become lighter as it ri.ses, proi an appearance of solidity and lightness very pleasing to the eye.

The roof itself is in goo*! proportion, and will be covered with rich red tiles. The whole exterior, as planned, will lie built in a substantial manner ; the walls are entirely of stone, and there is no galvanized ornament»vtion in any part. The height of the fa(;ade at the angles of the building is eighty-.seven feet, and the intervening jiortions rise to a height of seventy-two feet. In the main portions there ore tour stoi-eys, and there are ti\e or six, as the case may be, in the other parts of the building. TllE INTERIOR The plan of the building has been arranged for three main nnd several private entrance.s. There are two main portions — the eastern, for the use of the City, and the western, for tlie use of the County. Tlie main entrance to the Citj* offices will be the centre feature of the eastern fa(;ade. It will be located on the ground floor, and immediately ott' the terrace level. The entrance will lie about fourteen feet wide, through a door and vestibule which open on a large entrance hall thirty-one feet by sixty feet, from which exits can be made to the courtyards. From this hallway also run the corridors to the north and south, fifteen feet wide. The north-going corridor extends so as to form a prominent entrance to the Police Court, which is on the north side of the building. The south-going corridor extends down to the main staircase corridor, which is aUmt forty feet wide. There is a similar arrangement on the County side of the building. THE GROUND FLOOR At each entrance to the ground floor on both the City and County sides, and on the right and left sides to the hallways, there will be handsome wrought-iron staircases, with marble treads anil land- ings, brass-polished nickel-plated handrails, and a wrought-iron grilled balustrading. There will also be wooden handrails, for the protection of the hand. These staircases will be wide and eiw}- of ascent. Opposite each entrance there will be two wrought-iron elevators. The hallways will be trimmed in oak, very highly polished, and the ceilings will be panelled oft" with rich moulded beams and panels. On the ground floor of the City side there will be located the City Engineer's office, consisting of Book- keeper's i-oom, Secretary's room. Engineer's room. Assistant Engineer's room, room for Street Connnis- sioner. Clerks, Engineer's ilrafting room, and Contractors' tendering ronm, etc. There have also been provided one large vault, flre-proof, for plans and papers in connection with the Engineer's department, and two smaller vaults for the Bookkeeping department. Next to tJie Engineer's rooms are the City Commissioner's offices and the Medical Health Officer's rooms. Across the hallway, the office of the Park Connuissioner is placed, and in connection with these offices there is a Committee room for aldermen. In the north-east end of the City division, the Police Commissioners' office is located, and other rooms connected with the Police Court. They are cut ott' from the City offices, but access by special door- ways has been provided between the two departments. On this floor there are private and public lavatories, placed near a large ventilating shaft, and shut ott' from the other parts of the building. The main entrance to the Police offices will be oH" Aibert street, on the north side. It will be about fifteen feet wide, and will open on a staircase hall, forty-seven feet by twenty-four feet. From this hall there will be a public staircase of wrought-iron, and a private staircase whereby the Police Magistrate can gain entrance to his room. There has lieen also arranged on this flat a private entrance for prisoners, whie' will pass through the large archway already described, and through a covered gateway to the co>..tyard, whence the prisoners will be conducted by a private hallway too the Cell department immediately under the Police Court. The Cell room is a large, well-lighted, well- ventilttted, airy room, forty-five feet by thirty-five feet, fittetl up with wrought-iron open cells for males and females, and also for refractory prisoners, the intention of the Commissioners lieing that the I TORONTO MUNICI prisoners slmll U' collccttHl from the stations every morning and kept in the building only as lo may Ije nLccssary for trial in C^ourt. Here, also, are the Deputy Chief Constable's room and the i of till' Polit'o Court clerk, the StaH" Inspector's rooms, and two spare offices, besides a fire-proof THE FIRST FLOOR i*-. The main entrance to the fir.st floor is in the immediate front of the building. It has nrrBn<'t'd on different principles to those on which the main side entrances have been constn Instead of opening on the ground floor, it leads by a flight of steps eighty-five feet long to the Hooi- throuj,'h an nrched loggia formed of three hea\y enriched and carved arclies s'.:pported on C( clustt'i-s of columns. The floor, walls and roof of the loggia will be of cut stone. From the 1 open three large doorways, the centre one being twelve feet wide, and the one on either side sever wide. These openings will be supplied with handsome oak doors and frames, having bronzed c liini'es extending round the doorways several feet each way, and large bronze handles and locks, doorways lead to vestibules which will be connected by arched door openings, and will make vestibule extending the full width of the entrance. These vestibules will have stone floors an( walls will be lined with cut stone. The door openings and arches will be ornamented with enr cut stone and band mouldings.
