Do you think Mr garter that one time, when that
flooring was laid, it was as bad then as it is now ?
I should say it was better.

slight :xtent ?

A.
7636 Q.
I should say that perhaps it was not parfectly bad,
but never good.It is on the ground level and damp.
And so anybody who had examined it, during the last few76354
years, ought to have condemned it?
Yes.
And supposing you had seen that new concrete in 1902, 76
from what you have seen today, would you have passed it
in 1902 ?
A.
I would not have.
7637
Q.
Do you know when it was laid ?
7637
A.
No I dont know.
Shelton Hooper,
7638
Well, you said it was on the ground level, and damp
there.
7638
A.
The concrete was very moist, and I know from my
experience, the water rises very high there.

But because that was salt water you dont think it would 7639
be more than fresh ?
A.
Yes.

1641 Q.
Is not concrete made with salt water, as good as that 7640
made with fresh ?
Yes, under certain conditions. I would not use salt
water if I had to finish a cement surface.
But you say these were tiles. Would not salt water do 764
as good for mixing it ↑

Is it not laid down by the nest authorities that salt 1642
water is equally good for making concrete ↑
A
No, sir.
