I cant speak with regard to that matter at all. It is a point to which my attention has not been directed in
any way.

There are two questions I want to ask about a new matter, Mr Chairman. Ir the case of a building that was in the course of erection and the plans for which had been passed previousto January 1903 under this ordinanc
and this building was not finished until the middle of 1904, what certificate did the Building Authority issue
on completion?
A certificate under the old Ordinance.
Therefore they were perfectly sanitary, and people 20931 could occupy them from the middle of 1904, although they were not in accordance with this?
A.
Yes.
32
Q.
20932
Therefore, would the provisions of this Ordinance apply to those buildings now, supposing they did not conform
to it?
A.
That is rather a difficult questien to answer,

I will try to assist you. Having given you that case,
I will ask you to read section 268 of this Ordinance.
Yes. (Reads).
Now, in face of that, would it not be a perfectly
sanitary building if you granted your certificate in
the middle of 1904 for occupation 18 months after the
passing of that ordinance, although it did not conform to the provisions of it?
I would be disposed to say so, but this refera to the certificate or the written permission of the Board,
