Hamilton Cold Stores.

The construction of the buildings to be used as State cold stores at Hamilton is in the hands of the Works Department; the wharf is being built under the supervision of the Harbours and Rivers Department. It was ascertained from the Under Secretary for Works and Government Architect (Mr. A. . Brady) yesterday that his department had completed the fencing of the stores site.

Eighty-one piles for the compressor house had been cast and were maturing, and a pile-driving frame was in course of erection. The brickwork of the office block had been built to about 10ft., the door and window frames had been fixed, and the roof principals were ready for fixing. The materials on hand included 1400 bags of cement, 200 tons of steel reinforcement, 40 tons of structural steel, a pile-driving engine, and the timber for the office block.
