And you think that too much latitude is given to the i5-
officials in the administration of the law ?
Yes, and there is no loophole for them, and they
naturally stick to the letter of the law.
And you would go so far as to say that the Sanitary/16
Board did not exercise often enough their power which
is invested in them for granting exemptions?
From my point of view, I should say yes.
Speaking as a practical man ?

With regard to the passing of plans and inspection of
buildings, do you think it would be an improvemaht to amalgamate the Building Authority, or to let it merge
into the Sanitary Board, and to have only one Authority
as at home ?
I should think it would save time, certainly, to have
one Authority only.
At the present moment, you have to apply to two
Departments ?
We dont absolutely apply. We send in plans to one
Department, and they are handed over to the other.

means saving money ?

And saving money is for the benefit of the Colony ?(875)
The benefit of the owner

because he gets his renta
sooner, for the capital he invests, and the benefit of
the Government, because the property becomes rateable
