APPENDIX C.
Minute respecting the site for the proposed new
Music Hall, referred to the Commissioners by the
Honorable the Colonial Secretary:-
"The accompanying papers shew that a positive
assurance was given by the Government, in 1859,
that the Auckland Choral Society should have a
Crown Grant of a piece of land on the reserve
opposite the Scotch Church. A much better site for
the purpose would, however, be that portion of the
reserve round Albert Barracks, opposite to the new
Commissariat building, west of the road from Princes
Street to the Barrack gate. If this site be given, a
building might be erected so as to fall in with the
proposed plan for laying out the whole of the ground
whereon the Supreme Court is to be built, and
greatly contribute to the general effect of the other
public buildings in contemplation. To secure this
object, which would require that the Society's build-
ing should be of a certain height, I would recommend
that the Society be allowed to erect their Hall over
a ground story of offices, the latter to be surrounded
by a portico or colonnade, so as not to injure the
general effect. A second lower story of offices might
be made to project on the sloping part of the site to
the west, and have a fine appearance on that side.
The rent of the offices (not on any account to be let
as shops), would greatly assist in making the specula-
tion a successful one, and in supporting the Society.
The prospect of these returns would of course render
possible the raising of a much larger sum of money,
and secure buildings worthy of the site and creditable
to the Auckland public. I would advise that the
matter be referred to the Commissioners appointed
for the erection of Public Buildings, to report whether
the appropriation of the site and the erection of the
building above proposed would be consistent with, or
in furtherance of their views of the best mode of
laying out the open ground in that neighbourhood,
and their intentions with respect to the erection of a
Supreme Court or other public edifices."

A. DOMETT,
Secretary for Crown Lands.
April 13, 1864.
Resolution of the Commissioners on the above
minute, same date.

"That it would be entirely in accordance with the
views of the Commissioners, that a handsome build-
ing should be erected on the proposed site, in accord-
ance with the terms in Mr. Domett's minute, and
they have no objections to offer to the erection of a
Music Hall thereon, provided the building be such,
both in magnitude and style of character, as will
harmonize with that of the new Supreme Court
House, and other public buildings to be erected in
the neighbourhood."
