"has yet been given or sufficient time allowed me to do
"the work properly, I submit that it will be great
"hardship on me if my contract is actually cancelled.
*Formerly the contractors could give money, cigars and
"wines to the inspectors and foremen so as to curry
"their favour. I do not like to do this now, nor can I
"do it, even if it is advisable to do so. There are so
"many men to look after and so many districts to keep
"clean, entailing a tremendous amount of work. I am
"doing my utmost to go round from one district to

"chance to amend my fault, if my faultit was, a real
"injustice will be inflicted on me.
"As regards the complaints from the German Bank's
"residence and Mr Hancock, I have gone to make
"anquiries. The former case was this: Their couliss

"When an Inspector saw the rubbish deposited in front
"of the house, he summoned them. Since then the rubbish
"has been kept inside the house. Ny men cannot go in to
"remove it, nor is it their business to go into peoples
"houses. My Hancock's case was almost similar. His
"coolies kept the rubbish inside the house and did not
"take it out for my men to carry away. If they did,
"there would not have been so much trouble. Only on the
"peak, my nen go in to houses and remove the rubbish.

it is for the people to watch for the dust
*carts to pass by. I have however appointed a special
