i Stathum, who ooold not, be present. 1 The Primate said the architect (Mr Sedding) proposed that the larger part "of the choir section 'of the building" 'should *• '"be first proceeded witfh, anH .for this purpose recommended an outlay' of 'abont £15,000 to start with. &tieh a portion of the building, he estimated, would take a year and a-halE or too years' to build. The Cathedra! Board etge&ed, ' Bishop Nevilt remarked, to 'have lit least £10:000 ih hfnd by the 4th June, 1910, and that sum, he thought, was sufficient with' which to make a com,meHcemcnt, and "with a year, and a-half or two ' years to come and go upon after building operations were commenced, they; would no doubt -be . t able to ruse the balance of ,tha £15,0&0 proposed' by the architect to ba" -first expended. Tba church people in differont parts of the' diocese, he was., aware, had affairs of their own to look aft^r, and that probably prevented ,<J»m .to, tome.- extent from giving the attention- they otherwise ,<wjrald to the cathedral question, but after bavins got on so well, he had no jsoubt they would accomplish what they had. set themselves to dq, and would be i« a position to start operations* on tb» date named. Thema was a largo field over whiah no effort ha«i yet been niade, and money bad been flow'jng in freely for other eotexprises, which indicated, tfia^ help, would be lorthcomins; if it was.,,ae«Ji abojrt in the right way, and by the rjjjfhi piy^ws. ..^Che City of Dunedin and. its. suburbs had done nobly in giving towards the cathedral fund, but there were other places in the province ; from whjeb assjstajKS® WQuldconje if thej were approached, and he suggested thafi th« board should (leyise some method for having the#e place* -visited.
