Bay have proved satisfactory siten for European style houses.

Construction of Chinese tene- ment houses proceeded apaso on the Praya Eust Reclamation, no fewer than 248 being completed up to date, with an even greater number in coursé of construction. In all other areas development proceeded normally.

A noticeable feature of present buildings which might be record- ed is the almost universal adop- tion of fireproof construction. Recent legislation requiring all new staircases In tenement houses to be of fireproof construction la another advance in attaining Im-! proved dwellings.

The policy now in force of re- quiring froutagers to get back their building lines to allow of 10 fuot clear footpaths where verandahs are to be greeted fy proving satisfactory.
