Q-And have you any improvement to suggest with regard to the work directly under yourself?
A-I suggest that I get another overseer with me. I have got one but that is not sufficient for the work that has to be done.
Q-How many overseers have you ?
A-Mr. BARRINGTON, who has only arrived from home.
Q-And how many hours do you work each day?
A-From daylight to daylight. At the present moment, I should be at Magazine Gap. I turn out at any time during the night and, wherever I go, I have to tell, so that I can be found in case of fire.
Q--You live on Bowen Road ?
A-Yes. I should also like to suggest that Mr. BARRINGTON be put in No. 1 Motor House instead of Mr. SIMMONS, because Mr. SIMMONS has no claim on that house.
Q-What is Mr. Simmons ?
A--Meter Inspector. Mr. BARRINGTON has no place in which to reside.
Q-He is staying with you now?
A-Yes.
Q-I suppose there is no room in your house for two?
A-Not two with a family. He has got a family.
Q--Do you think it would be more convenient if he lived in the house to which you refer ?
A--Yes, for fires and bursts.
By Colonel Brown.--Do you act as inspector of machinery?
A-No.
Q-There is a separate inspector for machinery ?
A-There is no inspector. Mr. HOLLINGSWORTH inspects the pumping machinery.

Q-Does he inspect the boiler?

A-No, the Marine Surveyor.
By Mr. Shewan.--Where you live is in close proximity to the work?
A-I live at the filter beds.
Q-Most of the work is done there?
A-No. We have changed our shops to Wanchai. The object of my living there is that I should be there in case of any accident or fires.
By the Chairman.—Have you any other suggestion to make to the Commis- sion ?
A--No, except to get more assistance and more pumping power for the Peak supply and also the higher levels. It should be improved by getting a larger motor. No. 3 motor which, together with the steam pumps, works on to the Peak, is hardly large enough. No. 3 motor is in good condition, but Nos. 1 and 2 are not in such good condition. Larger machines are required. The No. 1 motor pumps to the Peak Road Tank.
