his cross-examination, Mr. M. K. Lo said he was astounded by the questions put to the owner, aug gesting as they did, that he was responsible. If Mr. Jenkin, Mr. Lo continued, Was suggesting that these payments in any shape or form had any relevancy withi the collapse he should have made his point clearer. As it was, to avold further questioning that may be possibly directed on those accounts he invited Counsel to have a good look at them. Ile could have 48 years to look at these accounts, but that once hay ing antisfied himself he was to forever held his peace. To avoid also a suspicion of doctoring these accounts, Mr. Lo further suggested that the books be straightaway Inspected and if nee- 'essary impounded.

Mr. Jenkin suggested that Mr. Lo's "heroics are out of place." as he was not making any al- lusion to forgery.

It was agreed that a Police of ficer would be sent to fetch the books immediately, and the books were brought later.

SANITARY BOARD,

REFERENCE TO SUGGESTED MARKET LIMITS Reference to the proposed market mits to Arsenal Street, Lockhart Road, and Bowrington Road markets, was made at a meeting of the Sanitary Board yesterday, when it was stated that correspondence on the subject was being considered and decisions would be made later,

Tong Kwong Hing, draftsman and canvasser in the office of Mr. A. J. Lane, Chinn Building, for the past three years, stated he previously worked twelve years with Messrs. Clark and fu, where he learnt to draw plans for rein- forced concrete constructions, and also the cantilever balcony me. thod. This method, however, was not much in use then but recent ly had become popularised: He drew the plans for 13-15 Yuk Sau Street and also for three houses Applications for a trade licence. in Village Road, and submitted for soap boiling at 57, Belcher's them to Mr. Lane.

the Public Works Department was

signed by the owner.

. Construction work was com- menced several months after the plans were approved. The con- tractors were Mesara. Wang Tak? and Company. chosen by the owner. Mr. Lane and witness supervised the construction work. On some occasions the owner had requested witness to go, the ren- son being that he (the owner) found fault with the bricks and sand, and also complained that the bricks were insufficiently water- ed. He also complained of the irregularity of the brick work. He met tho owner by arrange- mont and sometimes by chance. Ho saw two or three foremen there, but the owner's foreman seemed always to be reluctant to speak to witness.

Witness continued that in the course of construction the owner enquired about the bricks, stones, sand, cement; also the interior de curation after the concrete frame work WAS finished. Не зам cement poured in only once. Ho attached most importance to the iron rods, and when these were properly in position, the contrae- tor would come to the office and report to him. Witness would then give orders for eement to be filled in.

Witness said he did examine the iron work of the balcony be- fore the cement was put in. Ho found the rods in proper posi- tions according to the plan. The hooks of the rods were pointing down. He did not see any cement put into the balcony,

The further hearing was ad- journed to this afternoon.
