tion of the expressed public opinion
that the present building be ic
moved, on account of tho risk of fire
caused by so high a building con
structed of inflammable material

exposed to danger as long as the

mained in its place. At tho same
time the Trustees expressed the
hope that arrangements might be
made in concurrence with tho Gov
ernment by which a Sailors' Home
would continue to exist in a modi
fled form and adapted to tho changed
condition of things in general.
