Therefore it shows that it has been possible, that is
what I mean,
to make a good lime concrete with
materials which we have at hand here ?
Oh yes, I have made myself in my own experience, plenty
of good lime concrete that has set extremely well, and

I know of large blocks at the present moment that are
old lime concrete, and that are quite good.
Now, taking into account, which is a very important
thing for the public health, the enormous increase in
the cost by using cement instead of lime for concrete,
which it would entail, can you make any suggestions for
a good lime concrete which would serve the purpose, and
still be as cheap ?
Yes I can.
What would you suggest ?
17359
I would suggest that the material brought into this
Colony be more or less pollóed, if it were somnible.
That a junk of bad lime that comes to the Praya to one
of my jobs that is sent away, should never be allowed
to get into the harbour. If it were possible to make it
contraband, - it is rather utopian, but given a lime
which does not contain more than a certain percentage
of adulteration, the common adulterant is aand,
given a red earth of a proper quality, and clean broken
granite, and mix these three in the correct proportions
with the correct amount of water, I will undertake to
make you a lime concrete that will set.

And you could do that much cheaper, than with cement?
Oh yes.
