The Hon. the Principal Civil Medical Officer asked what the Surveyor advised.
The Surveyor said four inches of good cement concrete would be superior to six inches of lime concreta. If section III could be amended so as to allow four inches of cement concrete, to be passed, it would be a very great improvement.
The Fecretary minuted-I am afraid the Government will not amend the section at pre- sent, but it might, however, be noted for the next lot of amendments.
The Hon, the President minuted :-I think the Board should approve of the propisal.
