CHINESE PROPERTY OWNERS' CASE, Meurs: Didisay, Ram & Gibbs, who were engaged by the Chinese properly_owners to consider the techdical points of the new Public Heali Amending. Bill, have submitted their repoit. is dated '17th April, 1958, and is as follows:

TO THE CHINESE PROPERTY OWNERS OF HONGKONG,

Gentlemen,--We have carefully considered the several clauses of the proposed athend meats of the Public Health and Buildings Ordinances of 1903 and send you berewith our

report on same.

In cases where the amsadmens are merely additional words or alterations in wording to make the meaning of the original clauses clearer we have not made any remarks, mor

1.94-Section 138. This is a further cutting down of verandahs, „It was always understood that verandahs in go feet streets were limited to three stories, that is, the ground floor, first floor and second floor. Now it aims at cutting off another storey. The building may be 75 foc! high but the verandah only 30 or 32 fest. An open three storey verandab would rarely exceed 45 feet in height and would obstruct far less light and air at a distance of 40 feet than a building 75 feet high without verandahs at a distance of so feet. In many ways verandahs and balconies are a belp to recitation as they encourage the people to keep open windows, keeping off the ralo and is very hot weather, the sun.

We consider that a clause should be added to this section to the effect that existing ver- andahs and balconies may be re-erected of the original height and design and without the

we consider do not adversely affect the interestssation paid for same if not allowed.. of property owners of their tenants.

We observe that nothing has been done to ¿modify section 175.of the Principal Ordinance, le cases where there is a public or private street at the back of a domestic building we do not see any more necessity, for providing the open space referred to in this section than where there is a backyard of fifty square feet or over and in the case of a corner house we do not see any need for such op:n space. The object of the section is to provide light and vantilation to the backs of houses, and it is surely better to have light nød-air from a con- tinuous space like a street than from an en closed space eight or nine feet square sur. rounded by buildings forty feet'or so bigb.

We quite see the object of the open spaces in blocks of buildings where the backs of the houses have no means of light or ventilation and the kitchens open directly into the main rooms and have no windows, but in cases where there is a street either at the back or side we consider it quite unnecessary.' We therefore

• suggest that the following clause be added to section 175: Provided that this section shall not apply to any domestic building which is bounded on the back or side by a street and is provided with a window or windows at the back or side," or words to that effect,

We also suggest that the following should be

added to section 6, sub-section 24: after the words " for special uses,” the words "or for the housing of the working classes".

The following aru nur gates and suggestions on the amsudments, and we are presuming that you are in powension of a copy of the Amend; ing Ordinance.

2.-Section 6, sub-section 26, We are of opinion that it should be provided that in houses facing existing lines of more than 8 feet and less than ry feat in width, the width of such lane shall be desmed sufficient.

I

| 2,~Section 6; sul section'39,

The deficition of a new building is sufficient ly airingent in the original Ordinance." It should also be stricity provided that the greater part of two wallı should me to more than half of each of iwn ÿdli and not more than half of two wails combined, as in, many cases the demolition of one wall c ull be considered greater than the half of the same wall and a smaller one combined, although anthing might be done to the other wall,:

2Section 6, sub-section 45. The definition of a party wall may be a suitable one for Cardiff or many towns in Eng. land, but we consider a better defisition would be:-A wall forming part of a building had used for the separation of such building from Apo adjoining huilding belonging to or likely to

belong to a different owner and forming part:' also of such adjoining buildin, or built for the manifest purpose of belonging to such an adjoining building to be hereafter erected."

.3-Section 6, sub-section boa.

|

37.—Section 141.

As this section is for the provision of light and external air into the main room we can. sider that it should not be necessary, for two reasons, to limit the width of the kitchen to half the width of the house. In the first place the width secessary to provide for ex teral air is set down in the Amending Ordin. ance at 5 foot, du the second place there are many fots in the Colony on which Chinese houses are built, of a width of not more than 3" 6" and very few. Chiasse houses are ever erected of more than 15 feet.. In the case of a Chinese 5 storied house of 13′ 6′′ width the kitchen, trom the centre of one wall to the outside of the other would be 6' 9". The walls would be 27" and 3", together 34". The in side of the kitchen would thus be 3' 5" wide and as a Chinese stove is quite 1' 6" from front to back, there would only be ti inches for the cook. Even in the average case of an ordinary Chinese house of 15 feet in width, the walls, are 18′′ thick and taking one wali and a half from y′ 6′′, half the width, only leavér 5′ 3′′ as the interior width of the kitchen which is clear.

not nearly wide coough, when the width of ́the stove, 1′ 6′′ is taken off. We contend then, that the wording of this section should be altered to this effect:-

"No kitchen of any domestic huilding out. side the European Reservation or the Hill District shall hereafter be constructed entirely across the width of such building if such build. ing bås other buildings on both sides of it, or if it is separated by a space of less than 13 feet from other. buildings or from land on which ather buildings may be erected, "but there sball' be left a space of a width of 5 feet at least of open space for the purpose of providing light and ventilation to the maib rooms of the buildings."

40-Jection 149,' amendment appears to us to be un pecellary, the Origival Öndinmanne gevarebilling twa fire escapes.

41.-Section 151...

We are of opinion' that sub-section i should. beamcoded by the insertion of the word "additional" between the words "one teath of the", and "floor area" in the fifth line. In most cafes, as the sub-section stands, it would be impossible to comply with it,

41-Section 151, sub-section 3.

If there is no reduction in Crown Rent the compensation should include the amount of Crown Rent capitalized. See 68, section 253.

!

42.-Section 453, sub-section 2,

This sub-section should only apply to land obtained from the Crown' after the passing of the Amending Ordinance.

Many of the nuisances to be dealt with under these sections are caused by the tenants and not by the owners. It should not be possible to obtain a conviction" against an owner for an offence caused by a tenant; "A propelly owner cannot be expected to visit all his property every day 10 100 that his tenants are not cau sing a nuisance, even if he had a right to enter, which is doubtful,

We suggest that the words" Provided that this section shall not apply to matsheda or other temporary structures provided for housing workmen during the progress of works," should be added to this section.*

38.-Section To

The parts of the Ordinance referring to thick- Dess of walls should be reconsidered. Under the existing Ordinance of two walls of the same height a thinner one may be constructed on the top of another wall than may be built on gibe solid ground. For instance 2-30 feet wall bailt, on the top of a at fert wall may be 14 Ejaches thick, whereas if it is built on the ground

the lower part must be 18 inches thick,

24.-Section 107.

As a case in point, some blocks of two storied houses of this class were, sold last year al public auction for $700 each. Three houses would be worth $2,100 or $350 per floor. When the work was done there would be 5 floors worth $1,750, but the cost of the work in sc. cordance with the Ordinance would, at the present time, be fully $1,00, the whole al which would eventually fall on the owner who

would not only have lost the whole of bis ori. ginal property for which he would get no compensation, but he would have to pay the Government some $4,000 for what would be worth to him less than $1,750 as the houses would only be three-fourths the sire of the old ones. Total loss: $1,250 plus $2,100 $4,350 on a properly worth originally $2,100. In the case of thres or four storied houses the loss would be greater as there would be more lots of accommodation,
