possessing the qualifications contemplated by Professor
Public Works Department could not be relegated to an Officer
3.
I agree with the Director of Public Works
that the provisions of the new Public Health and Buildings
Ordinance cannot be properly carried out unless some additional
assistance is given to the Department. There remains the extra
work cast upon the Department in arranging the details for
and carrying out schemes of improvement. Such schemes require
great consideration and care affecting as they do existing
water and drainage works, the levels of streets and other cognate
matters.
4.
A Sanitary Commissioner or the Sanitary
Board or other Body may recommend such schemes but the details
must be placed in the hands of an Officer of the Public Works
Department, and preferably with the Officer who has cognisance
of the work being carried on by private individuals under the
Buildings Ordinance which involves the reconstruction of pro-
perties that might clash or interfere with any scheme of in-
provement.
5.
For these reasons I am strongly of opinion
that the additional Executive Engineer asked for is required
independently of the appointment or otherwise of a Sanitary
Commissioner, and I would ask that no time should be lost in
selecting an Officer for the post and sending him out to the
Colony.
