Enclosure 2.
Minute by the Survevor General.

C21
In my opinion small practical@tfficulties of
this nature should have been net by giving a discretionary
power to the Surveyor General. 1 believe it absolutely
impossible to frame precise code or definite regulations to
meet all cases, and if that could be done to satisfy the
needs of the present, the conditions of modern life affect-
ing builuing arrangements are subject to so many changeS
that many conditions applicable to the presat will probably
soon become obsolete.
1 would suggest that a fair trial be
given to the Ordinance for say one year. It is pretty cer-
tain that some weak points will be discovered during that
period; and should it prove so, an amending Ordinance can
then be better prepared by the light of experience.
(Signed) S. Brown,
Survevor General.
