In December of the latter ye'ar, the wooden portion of Parliament House, which was erected in 1873, was destroyed by fire Government House was then adapted to the needs of Parliament, a new vice-regal residence being erected at Newtown. The General Assembly Library, which formed a portion of the- old block, had been erected in brick about ten years previously, and this escaped /the fire. Communication betwee'n the library and the temporary Parliament House was provided by an enclosed bridge over Sydriev Street. The greater part of new Parliament House has been completed and occupied by Parliament for several years.'
