TENDERS FOR BUILDING
Horticultural Society
Tenders for the Canterbury Horticultural Society's new hall in Cambridge terrace, on the intersection of Cambridge terrace and Gloucester street, would probably be called at the end of the month, said the society's secretary <Mr J C. Fraser) last evening. The plans announced by the society last year provided for a new hall, a garden club room and offices in the new building. At that time the cost of the building was estimated at £45.000. Earlier the society had plans drawn for a large building which was estimated to cost about £315.000. These plans were amended to bring the cost of the building down to £250.000 but this was considered to be beyond the society’s means and the project was discontinued and replaced by the present plan.
