I have very great difficulty in getting the proper

price of Chinese labour. I have never really know what

it is. The pay sheets have not come under my notice.

Therefore you are not able to may what, is the

comparative cost of cement floors or concrete ?

Not as regards labour.

Now would you condemn a floor which has been laid with

six inches of lime concrete, and the cement rendering

on the top was good, if you merely found in some

corners or round the hides evidences of ratholes ?

A.

No, I certainly would not condemn it.

oy Q.

Would you go so far as to recommend the Board, if you

were the responsible officer, to have that floor dug

up to search for any uefects.

A.

Not on the point of finding one or two rat holes.

I am not showing of ratholes. What action would you

take, or recommend that the Board should take, if you

just found the rat holes ?

I would carefully examine the floor, and if I found no

atller defects, except the rat holes, I should say

make good the rat holes.
