Mr. Llewellyn, architect of the new agricultural buildings, was then heard with regard to some proposed changes in B building. Mr. Llewellyn's statement with regard to these and other probable changes was as follows: It is proposed to devote the entire building to the Dairy Department, the curing rooms, etc., being removed to the second floor of the creamery room, and the first floor enlarged about one-half, thus providing space for about five separators with corresponding machinery. The construction of the building remains the same, but some change is to be made in platforms, which are to be of cement instead of wood. The walls of the creamery and cheese rooms, and also of the bottling room, are to be faced with enameled brick. The chief changes consist in rearranging the walls. An engine room is provided for on the main floor instead of placing the engine in the boiler Toom as on original plan. Mr. Jobst's estimate of changes is $476.74.
