I do think that a good deal of good results. As it is
carried out now, it tends to keep the house cleaner. It
undoubtedly makes them lighter, and in both those
respects, it conduces to the health of the inmates,
Do you think it would as well if it was done once a 16.942
year instead of twice ↑
Would you still recommend it twice a year ?
Yes.

Not with chinese tenants.

And would you go so far as to include every Chinese 15.944
tenant ?
No, that is why the law allows exemption to be granted.
Only yesterday I saw some houses, and I recommended
certain parts,They had not touched the walls, and I did
not tell them to do it because they were reasonably
clean.
This was at Wanchai.

Dont you think Dr Clark, try for a mucent to be quite
un#fficial, but to put the common sense view on it,
trying to arrive at what is best for tia community,
Hongkong dont you think that certain Districts :
could be exempt from biennial whitawening, making it
only so that those Chinese tenements world be done once
a year, and in certainDistricts the lower class houses
twice a year. Dont you think you could take a map and
lay out Districts ?

No, I dont think I could take a map and lay out Dis-
tricts, I do think I couldpay personal visits, and allot certain blooks of houses for yearly limewashing.
I meant to give you an instance of what is in my mind,
from Murray Barracks to Pottinger Street in Queens Road.
Well, I would not exempt that block all the way through.
Taks all the left hand houses going wast, what houses
