Dangerous Buildings,
Yet
Now, without stopping to in- quire whether the Public Works Department has not knowa of these dangers for many years" past, it is pertinent to ask:-(1). · How many auch houses are theic in the Cole gf which the Publio Wo: ks Department have no build- [ing records ? (2) How far should the goverment go in their exam- ination of the party walls of such houses and in the condemnation of all which show inherent weak- ness? We have heard it said that this would involve the condem- nation of half the Chinese tene ment bouses in the Colony, and we can imagine what an outery there would be if anything of the kind were done." we are told in evidence by the Executive Engineeer in charge of the Buildinge Ordin ance Office that it is inevitable that walls built as this one was— "in fact the centre of the wall consisted almost entirely of smal pieces of brick"-must eventual- y collapse! Those walls were built in days when there was no supervion by authorised archi teta or by Government building inspectors, and from the fact that even in the year 1913. the Eure- pean overseer needs," to sit upon the building all day long" ono expert, expressed it in a Court on one occasion to en- sure that the average Chinese con- tractor builds his walls properly. we can imagine what the houses are like which were built without any foreign expert supervision whatever. Evan now, if we are not migraken, there are only three building inspectors on the salt. of the Public Works Dapartment.
