A member of a firm of building contractors stilted- m course of conversation with a reporter of the Otago Daily Times that^ the multiplicity of inspections and demands for permits which Dunedin builders were subjected to at the present time were matters of common complaint. ■' A contractor was favored with visits from an inspector of factories, an inspector of awards, an inspector of machinery, and an inspector of scaffolding. Then permits had to be obtained for all manner of tilings. The placing of a ladder or trestle on a. footway, or, m fact, any enoroachnient at all. no matter, how trifling, meant obtaining a permit and a payment m each instance. All these encroachments had now t"! be provided for by builders, and the natural result \vn,s that they tended to make building dearer.
Mr C. G. B.loore is advertising a firstclass sheep rim of 1750 acres m. the Wai*kato, at a very low figure.
