To-day (30th) we hear that the contractor, Peck Kam Bai, has bolted and that the ownere have given Messrs. Crane Beos, the complete supervision and survey of the premises, which will be proceeded with at the earliest possible data--Singapore Free Press.
THE BELGIC
With regard to the portion of the building that has fallen it may be said that it was a doz spinous example of Chinese construction. They had finished the small shop adjoining the Chinese store in Kling Street, which contained a fair amount of continuous mesoney and they were going on with that portion of the new godown which consisted of misssive piers only, and were running these up perhaps too quickly. The result was a somewhat bizarre effect. The completed portion had an eleva tion of 70 fest, at the corner overlooking

Although in some quarters, we are assured on the the plans were designed by Messers, Crane Bees, authority of those who should be in the best and were stationed by the late Mr. MacRitchie, position to know that the Belgic will be got off the work was being carried out by a Chinese without math damega. She is a big vessel, aut contractor apparently under the partition of may not be flosted immediately, but thoss on- theowner, Mr. Tan Jiak Kim. And indirectly the ago in the calving operations are still very hopeful. From information received to der No disaster was undoubtedly due to the fact that in a work of this magnitude the usual skilled superlearn that on Monday the eighth anchor was laid vision had been dispused with, a oirountance out, 315 fathoms from thesup. During thealtor which opened the way the more readily to the noon having on all the ground tackle resulted mistaken prosedure of the average Chinese son, in bringing the vessel's head out 10 degrees tractor in running on his buildings unequally to westward.

The wind was coming from the quality of the materials used, so that it is inad NE, end rain fell during the day visable in my way to prejulge the matter. It may or may not be the case that the contractor will have ugly questions to face, and that the Municipal inspectora may have to rebut a charge of inefficient supervision, but it le imposible to say this in the present position of affairs, being quoution which must be notermined by theer perts. That a large part of the builting in the redaction did colleges, probably through a failure of our portion of it, and that about a dozen lives have be lost, is sufficient proof of failure or neglect somewhere, and it is to be trusted the nonossary investigation will fully bring out how far and a hat particular way the Municipal building regulations have bean infringed.
