to have men of such a class entering the houses of Chinese citi-

-zens, with or without pretext and free from all control, I

interviewed Howard and told him that he could not be permitted

to repeat such conduct and, as the result of a brief conversa-

-tion, he said he supposed he had better send in his resigna-

-tion. I informed him that I thought it was the best thing he

could do.

He tendered his resignation, but, in such terms that His Excellency declined to accept it and I was

instructed to inform him that he must either withdraw his

letter and make a written apology, whereupon his resignation

the matter which led to his resignation and ultimate dismissal.

As regards his allusion to the elaborate

system carried out, it is obvious that, where the entire re-

-construction of a building and numerous other important

matters depend upon what has occurred in the past, it is essenti

is all that is done.

The cases which have been referred to

Government in which Architects have demurred to complying with the notices served relative to dangerous buildings or portions of same are sufficient evidence that this branch of the work

is receiving proper attention. Serious difficulties are how-

-ever created by the action of the Architects referred to. No wholesale condemnation of old buildings can be adopted nor do

such buildings in many cases reveal the serious defecta exist- -ing in them prior to their collapse.
