 The Committee appointed to build the Registry office at Prescott, 
 lor the County of Griniville, b(^g leave to report as follows : 
 
 Your Committee immediately after the January Session of the 
 Co.incil, completed the purchase of the site for the Registry office, by 
 paying to Maria S, Boyd the sum of seven hundred dollars, and got 
 a good and satisfactory deed in fee simple for the same 
 
 Your Committee proceeded at once to advertise for tenders in five 
 of the newspapers pul)lished in these United Counties, and also circu- 
 lated large posters inviting tenders for the building of the said Registry 
 Otlice, giving three weeks time for the tenders to be sent in. A 
 inimber of tenders were received by your committee, and when all 
 were opened, it was found that the tender of Thomas Russell of 
 Mon-isburgh was the lowest, being §G 1 35, and was accordingly accepted. 
 But subsequently when the committee met, and had the contract 
 prepared and ready for signature, the Siiid Thomas Russell and his 
 sureties refused to sign the same. 
 
 A satisfactory arrixngement was afterwards made by your com- 
 mittee with Messrs. Gordon & Ward, by their reducing their tenders 
 from $7900 to $7300. The contract was therefore made with John 
 G irdon of the Town of Brockville, and Nesfield Ward of the Town of 
 Prescott, and their sureties are J. P. Wiser of Prescott, and William 
 Cowan of the Township of Elizabethtown. 
 
 V^our committee have further to report that the building has been 
 located on the corner of the lot, being on a line with James and Centre 
 Streets. On the excavations being made for the foundations, a smooth, 
 level rock was found at about three feet from the surface in about 
 three-fifths of the space, the remaining two-fif+hs being six feet to the 
 rock. Your committee were of the opinion that the Council would 
 bear them out in incurring a .small extra expense to make the found- 
 ation "ood and sure, by having the whole building founded on the

 for want of such accommodation.
