   below the level of the cellar floor, or other lowest

   addition shall be added to the cubical contents of the
   original building, and the total amount shall deter-
   mine the class under which the fee is to be charged.

10. If in any building, or addition to any building
    there shall be two or more separate houses, then each
    house shall be measured, classified, and charged for
    as a separate building; but only half the fee specified
    in the Schedule as due on a building of that class
    shall in such case be demanded and paid on each
    house.

11. The re-use of any old materials, floors, roofs,
    internal walls, or other parts of any new building
    shall not prevent the said building from being classi-
    fied as a new structure; although such old materials,
    floors, roofs, internal walls, or other parts may even
    have formed parts of a previous building on the same
    site.
