With regard to making good, if you had a notice which had been served by the Building Authority, to say that the floor of a certain house was defective, and you examined it and found that the concrete was not

impervious any longer, then I take it you would

entirely renew that concrete ? You would think the

words "make good" were such that you would have to have

it made good.

That is to say, if it cracked and erumbled. In other words, if it were a question of between bad and good conorets, the place that had actually gone would be where they chopped wood or something of that sort. That would be a fair indication, and if I found the concrete there bad, I should have a very strong suspicion that the rest of the floor was bad.

And so in extreme oapes, the words "make good" would

mean "entirely renew" ?
