Mr Perkins wishes to amplify his replies to 23188

certain questions in the following manner:-

Page 1676. I suppose nine tenths of your time

is taken up with Building Authority work?

The answer is. I cannot give an approximate idea

ag to what proportion of my time is devoted to

Building Ordinanos work. Recently, I have been

engaged on getting out plans and reporting on a

proposed destructor. This has taken some time to

complete. In addition to this, I have also been

+

engaged on a large resumption scheme. All this work

is of course in connection with Public Health, but

does not come within the scope of the Building

Ordinance.

Page 1683. Q. Why a difficult question ? I ask you

from your experience in England of similar bodies,

whether it in not always left to the Surveyor or an

engineer.

The answer is. It is usually left to the Surveyor

or engineer,

Page 1686. Q. 14226. Now that is very much what

you suggested just now, I think.

The answer is. Yes, but such Committee did not

only deal with Buildings. The Sanitary Authority of

Bristol, for instance, dealt with nearly everything,

pertaining to the management of the city, except

edunation, police, electrio light, and docks. Plans

were dealt with by this Authority oh alternate

Thursdays, all plans received sinos the previous

meeting being considered then, even plans sent in at

the last business hour of the previous day.
