We do not take exception to the principle that it may be desirable in special cases for the Goverment to havI power to control the character of buildings to be erected on a pašticular site «.g. to prevent Chinese tenement houses being built in a European residential district, er te prevent houses being sonstructed of such a height as will

But in prejudice the sale of adjoining building land.

such cases we hold that it will be preferable that the class of house and the height allowed should be definitely stated in the Conditions of Bale, rather than that these Conditions should be left to the discretion of the Diredter of Public Works for the time being.

It is in our opinion a matter for the skeise of the purchasing rather than of the Director of Publie Vorks to decide whether he must build his house to face north er south, whether he must have verandahs or not, whether the * Styl« * shall be * Georgian * as * Gothic ”, whether or me he may have a bathroom adjoining each bedroom, whether the * Rovation * shall be of plastered Ganten bricks

The Conditions of kusy bricks with granite dressings. Bale mentioned above 1.1.2001, 2089 and 2093 = kowever,

alearly give the decision in these matters to the Birecter

of Publie Vorka.
