The position regarding a new house.for the
Kuwait Agency Surgeon is that we have asked the.Government
of India^to sanction K. 1200 /- per annum for rent^and
to provide the electric and sanitary sittings at their
own expense. At the same time we are not satisfied
that the doctor will have the best building possible
for the money available unless the present plan is
rodified, or another one adopted.
2 . ‘ Our comments are as follows:
,.-v/ Cm 1 ' ■ C*
(a) For a plinth area of approximately 6,434
sq. feet only so e 1,532 sq. feet are used
as room-floor area. This represents only
25^, is much too low a proportion and is
not economical.

The T shaped hall will be dark and stuffy^
particularly as it appears that the v/ater
storage tanks are shov/n to be over the
junction of the T, the position of a
possible skylight. None, however, is
provided.
It would be better if the kitchen were not
windward of the bedrooms, but in a separaLe
out-building leeward.
One bedroom and one sitting room must oe
designed for ready conversion to an re
conditioning should the necessity arise.
No clerestorey windows are provided, and
the provision of an adecuate number is
essential.
The frontage is most unattractive and is
remarkable for a row of chimney stacks.
The bedrooms face the south with no
ventilation to the north and north-west
breezes, and might make good incucaters.
They will be insuf ferable-for human-beings
in the hot weather.
