Ordinance 18 of 1894.

601

The first part of subsection (f) of the same clause is intended to provide for the circulation of a free current of air underneath the bottom of the boards forming the cubicle, and the latter part of the subsection provides that no structure shall be permitted in a cubicle of a greater height than the maximum height allowed for the cubicle itself and that no juver or roof shall be allowed to a cubicle.

Such provisions for thorough ventilation are obviously desirable.

Subsection (g) of section 4 has been rendered necessary by the fact that it is not an uncommon practice in Chinese dwellings to arrange the cubicles so that one cubicle is built up against a window and thus appropriates almost the whole of the air coming in through the window to the detriment of the ventilation of the other cubicles on the floor. It will be noted that two out of the Commissioners recommended that no cubicles erected in future should be placed nearer than four feet from any window (the area of which is included in calculating the window area), but it was considered by the Board that three feet would be sufficient.
