Yes.
As laid down here, the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank, 18173
which is opennt from Des Voeux Road to Kowloon Hills,
only obstructed by the Queens Statue, - they have to =
And Sir Thomas Jackson's Statue.
Yes, I think so. Another experience: When we built
an addition to the Peak Hotel, recently, about a year
ago, we got permission from the Goverment, through Mr
Chatham, to erect mat sheds under the coolie house
there. We got permission to put this thing there, and
then we, or rather the contractor, got served with a
nuisance notice from the Sanitary Board, because he
had not got 50 cubic feet for every coolis. That is
very sensible for a building in Queens Road, but to
apply it to a building at the Peak, where you have got
fresh air all round,
Of course the next tender the
contractor gets up there, he puts it on.
That is a ridiculously extreme application of the 18774
AY
law.

That has been done twice,

house in Barker Road, and those matsheds at the Peak
Hotel.
The Peak Hotel case came before us, but these are 1875′′
most interesting cases to have. They are examples
showing the ridiculous manner in which the law is
administered.
I have other cases, but they are not in my memory.
Witness retirer.
