According to the memorandum of the Deputy Minister of the Interior Department, the building is required to afford accommodation for the geodetic and boundary survey staffs. They now occupy a rented building at a cost of $2,416 per annum. Allowing $600 for heat and light, this will pay four per cent on the cost of the building and there will be twice the present space.
