building requires the builder to afford all
necessary protection to adjoining property
and to do all snoring and underpinnfng of
walls and to repair fences. etc, made ne
cessary by the work.
The District building regulations also re-
quire the local government to restore adj
joining premises to a condition as good as
they were in at the beginning Of such oper-
aticns Mr.. Ashford says:
II informed these ladies that their prop
erty would be restored within reasonable
time, but could not say that retaining
wall would be built for the purpose OF sup
porting their yard until the work on the
Police Court had progressed to a further
extent In order to ascertain whether SUI

owners that every precaution required by
