for the people. I have got one other thing to mention.

Wait a minute, Mr Lí, before you go on to something (9718

else. What I want to know is: You say about the Chief

Inspectors doing their work very well: Do you mean to

say that before the Commission began sitting, they did

not do their work so well that they were not so

strict. Is that what you mean ?

He is speaking about the taking of trites before.

What is his reply ▼

That before they used to take bribes.

C

And allowed the work to be done badly, is that what

you mean?

197719

A.

Yes.

Q.

And now they wont take bribes, but they strictly

enforce the law?

not only do they go according to the law, but

they go in addition to it.

Well, they are very strict ?

Mr Shelton gooper:-

A.

Q.

And the consequence is that because they are so very 19721

strict now, it is a very great hardship for business people, and it costs them more money than if the law were the same, and brites were given to the officials ?

Is that what I understand you to say?

It is a li'tle harder now.

Does he go so far as to say that the officers exceed 197221

their duty now ↑

If you do it properly, that wont satisfy them.

Not now ?

197235

A.

No.

!

Q.

Therefore they exceed their duty now, by com laining 19724

when work has been done properly?

A.

Well, I am afraid they do that.

797287

Now, did that not take place before this Commission sat.

in this very case of this floor ?
