Attorney Robert Mills stated that in many cases licensed septic installers are not on the premises when their employees are doing the actual installing of septic systems. He stated that the literal interprietation of the Title V regulation would appear to be-that all employees in the septic installation process would have to be licensed installers.

Mohteiro stated that he i very busy and that it was a factor of the time involved. Glen Harrington stated that if there was some-evidence of a legal business binding between Mr. Monteiro and Jnr.
