35.
The stonework on the facade of the General Post Office including the parapet but excluding the portico which will be dealt with early in the new year has been descaled and closely examined. It has been found that apart from some minor defects, due to weathering, which have already been made good there are three stones in the cornice, which along with the stone which broke in July last, it would be desirable to replace. No immediate danger attaches to these stones but it is intended to have the work of replacement carried out within the next three months.
