DURO PUMP COMPANY
CAUTIONED
Mr. W. S. V. Curtis, manager of
the Duro Pump and Engineering Company, was summoned before Mr. Buliers at the Kowloon Magistracy this morning for un- lawfully sinking four wells on Kowloon Inland Lot 2153 without a permit from the Building Authority.
Mr. A. F. Reynolds. of the P.W.D., prosecuted.
Pleading guilty to a technical offence, Mr. Curtis explained that the first well was sunk about four months ago, not by his firm, but by the bullding contractors presumably for the water supply for construction
purposes. He
saw the well there and later received a letter from the archi. tect, from which he assumed that permission had been obtained to Rink wells.
