After, I think.

Why did you pay that after, when the Inspector said it (827)

was good?

This money was not paid by me. I think it was after. we made arrangements.

Was the money paid before the inspection was made? 6828

I think we had better put it through Mr Ball.

(Hr Dyer Ball interpretes).

Here is a notice dated the 2nd November 1905, dealing with 7 houses, Nos 136 to 138 Queens Road, to tell you that Inspector Gidley would enter the premises, with such assistants as may be necessary, not less than 48 hours after the service of this notice, for the purpose

of opening up the ground. That is on the 2nd November -

that notice. On the 6th November, that is 4 days after,

Inspector Gidley writes "examined, and found good". Now

I want to know when the $25 per house was paid.

Ão paid on the 10th day of the 10th moon, $250. After the Inspector came to our firm, and that Interpreter wrote down that piece of paper, and we sent the foki

and said he to ask Lick Kes, Lick Kee sent on man,

could get permission for us if we paid so much for each

house.

6829

Then you arranged to pay the money before you reosived the reply from Inspector Gidley.?

Mr Lau Chu Paki-
