Q..
Can you tell us why it is more than double ?

It was formerly $1 to $1.20 for a floor. But at $1 to $1.25 it was not done very well. Now it is $2.50 to $3
he wants, because the Inspectors, when it was $1.25,
used to take bribes.

money was given to them.

And the floor was done badly ? - Now, why do they have

Because since these enquiries, the Inspectors have been afraid to take money. So it must be properly done, and it costs $3 to $3.
Then this Commission does not do any good it done a 19500
lot of harn ?
Oh, it does a lot of good.

Now, Mr Ho, is it only quitè during the last six months
that the price has gone up so enormously for lime
washing ?
And a number of contractors have also been afraid to
take contracts, since thin Commission has been sitting.
Who are the men who generally do the work now, do you 19,582
know ?
Anyone does it now. Before, two or three had to do it.
Who were the men before the two or three men ?
There were more than two or three.

Can you give us the names of those who used to do it 919584
Foo 31k. I know his best. He used to do several
thousands of houses. He is unwilling to do them now,
and I give the job to someone else to do now. They are
unwilling to do it for $2.50 a floor.
Why do they ask for so much, what is their reason ? 19585-
Because it cannot be done well, and the Inspectors wont
Face it.
Thy dont they pass it?
