The accompanying drawings illustrate the design finally adopted by the Reigate Town Council, after some minor revisions were made on the competition plan. It has been found expedient for economic considerations to dispense with the tower contained in the first competition design. In its place the staircase wing overlooking the drill yard will be carried up in the form of a tower, with the hose suspended in a well. Further facilities are provided for drill by fixing ladders on the side facing the drill-yard. The architect is Mr. Joseph Sunlight, of St. Ann’s‑square, Manchester. The plans given herewith illustrate the arrangements, which are compactly and conveniently contrived. Mr. Vincent E. Harris, F.R.I.B.A., was the assessor.
