A member of a firm of building contractors stated, in the 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 favoured 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 things. The plaaing of a ladder or trestle on a footway, or, in fact, any encroachment at all, no matter how trifling, meant permit and a payment in each instance.
