are limewashed, it causes expenditure of the whole
month's rent. Then, as to the other side of the harbour

It is more difficult. I will tell you how it is. Because the rental over there is not so much, and besides after the whitewashing, the Inspector requires two or three weeks, at the very quickest two weeks,
·
hefore it is looked at, and then it is mostly poor people that live over there, one family in a floor, or
several lots of people.
Does he mean bachelors or individuals?

Either a family or a mess, It is.three days after the limewashing takes place before a report is made that
the place has been linewashed, and then three weeks or a part of three weeks elapsos before it is looked at. There is 24 days gone, and then places near the kitchen have become again darkened or blackened, and then when the Inspector comes to look at it, he says it is not proper and has to be done again, and then again, when it is washed again, he does not come and look at it immediately, but it will be another 8 or 10 days, or more than 20 days before the Inspector comes to see it
again.
Before what ?
19.60
Before the Inspector comes to see it again, and where it has been blackened, it will require to be limewashed over again. Then it presnes most heavily upon the brick and tile shops, and upon the porcelain shops, because when the limewashing takes place, they have got to mov everything away, and before the Inspector comes to look at it, they dont dare, to move the things in again, so it is a great obstruction to the place.
