Mr Woodcock Ex

routine work must be dealt with of course by Officers of the

Department but anything that is the least bit out of the

line of routine work has got to be submitted to the Presi-

-dent and if necessary further enquiries are made under his

instructions and at the discretion of the Secretary but that

when the correspondence is completed it must be submitted to

the Members of the Sanitary Board?

A: Yes, that is the interpretation I put on it.

Qim That means that neither the Secretary nor the President have (290

1290

any power at all to withhold any correspondence over this

routine work from the Sanitary Board ?

A: That is so.

Q: Would you consider that any application for exemption such

1291

At-

as this with regard to cubicles or an application such as YO had the case of the Steam Laundry who wanted to paint and

not' whitewash woodwork would come under much exemptions ?

An application for exemption under any section should cer-

-tainly come before the Board. So far as the application

with regard to the Steam Laundry is concerned, the way I did with that paper.

1292

Q: I don't think we need go into that question. I merely men-

-tion it because it was on my mind. Do you think that appli- -cations for exemption should come before the Board ?

A3-

All applications for exemption should come before the Board.

1891

1992

Q: Why is it that all these application do not come before the (243

Board ?

1293

Am

So far as I am aware all applications for exemption do come before the Board.

Q:-

1294

You don't know of cases where the President or you have

1294

dealt with questions of that mort ?

A: The only onse is the one I mentioned this afternoon.
