88 Q.
And about how many of these cases do you think you have
had since the Ordinance was passed three years ago ↑
Probably half a dozen cases, where I have applied for exemption on account of the walls not being sufficient-
ly stable to admit of any alterations on the walls.
And dont you think this applies to the majority of 144 8 7
Chinese houses in this City
endangers than: - taking
into account their age, the way they are built, and the
liability of typhoons ?
It is bad to cut a wall at anytime of course.
But would you not go so far as to say it applies to 14488
the majority of Chinese houses?
A very large pencentage would you like to say?
A.
I would not say the majority.

I am not speaking of that. Is a building not considerab-
ly weakened and rendered more liable to collapse should
a typhoon come ?
Oh yes, it is in some cases.
You said just now that you frequently carried out the 14442
work mentioned in notices from Sanitary Board, without satisfying yourself that in your opinion it was
necessary ↑
