"was made to limewash ceilings and so
on. Even
"stair linings and nails on walls had to be whitewashed
"I had also to put up scaffoldings to limewash the
"walls of backyards right up to the roof. I got so
"disgusted with the job after doing it for a month or
"so that I gave up the contract after losing about
"$800. Sham Iu finally took over my work again at
$2,50 per floor. He was not required to limewash
"ceilings nor r of, and in the case of hackyarda he
"had only to limewash up to the first floor. He had not
"to put up acaffoldings at all.
"The coolies that I employed to do the work were the
"BAMS coolies as those employed by Shai Iu.
"Even concrete works done by Sham Iu and Foo Sik are
*readily passed by the Inspectors. The prices charged
"by these two contractors are about 30% higher than
"other contractors.
