In that case, we could not make a hard and fast rule ?

That is my opinion. The Authorities cannot lay down a

hard and fast rule.

20321 They may have various types of cubicles, which could be

and permitted, under certain conditions a certain amount of

elasticity as to the way the partition is to be used.

That would be do. I mean you cannot treat the ordinary

ooolie house as a family house. That is impossible. In

the ordinary floor, used by persons of the poorest

class, they want the partitions to be as cheap as

possible.

It must be left open above the counter level.

Oh no.
