throwing buckets of water on the floor and
them out again is much use, unless the whole as the place where dust can lodge is swept. To my mind, the advantage of limewashing is that the brush has to go into every crevice or cranny, and there is a visible evidence of the brush having been there, and it is done. I dont think the limewash itself has anything to do with disinfecting, - the lime we use here.

And so you really think that the only benefit of line- washing is that the room is awept out ?
It is cleaned. If you use hot lime, like they do in England, it is a different matter.
Mr Shelton Hooper:-
In England, dont they put it on hot ↑

91 Q.
Yes, it is made hot. It kills anything it touches. Dont you think if that were done here once a year, would be better than putting on this stuff twice a
year?

A.
Yes certainly.

The Chairman:-

And could this lime here be heated and put on in the
sana way as at home ?
No, we cant get a lime here in any quantity that will heat, The West River Lime Industry is practically dead,
as far as Hongkong is concerned. We have had lime here that will heat.
95 Q
From the West River ?

From the West River, but, they cant bring it down bo- cause it burns the junks. What is wanted here, is an industry for burning the West River limestone.
Have you seen the analysis of the West River lime ↑ (7394
Yea. I have forgotten it.
Would this lime if it is brought dow in the form of 17,395′′ stone from the West River, and it is burned here, would
there be any objection to getting it done ?
