The present system of sending part of the plan

to the Building Authority, and part to the Sanitary Board, increases the number of drawings to be examined, and takes up time in conveying plans from Building

Authority to Sanitary Board and vice versa.

What is about the average time here, between sending in

plans for approval of Building Authority and Sanitary Roard, and the receipt of permit to proceed ↑

17315

It is impossible to make an average. The time varies

from 12 days to six months. We are still without

acknowledgement of plans sent in on March 10th, 1906.

See also my reply to printed question, No 3, dated July

23rd 1908. That reply gives specific dates and

instances.

What is your experience as regards the time for so 7316

doing, in England ↑

I have put in plans at West Ham, and got them passed

next day, also I have had to wait a month owing to

special points. I should say a reasonable time to allow

would be one week.

Do you think the appointment of an Executive Engineer,/7/7

and a vedical Officer of Health, as Advisers to the

Sanitary Board, would be an improvement in the general

administration of the Ordinance ♦

Yes. I suggest that plans should be considered by an

Authority composed of four official and six unofficial

Members, with a non technical Chairman, and advised by

non voting experts in Law, Medicine, and Engineering.

The Chairman:

Law?

A.

There are many legal points that arise.
