2 of them, I enneider, fully corroborate what is stated in this report. The remaining or sher that the report is inaccurate, I may point out that the report is confined to one morning. It is a report showing the state of affaire found to exist on that partionar morning whereas the statement of the people given me is a general state- ment of how they fared in the matter of water supply. Therefore it is rather diffionit even thengl their statements do not appear to corroborate the report it stoms doubtful whether the report as regards that particular moralog was absolutely inaccurate. The matter, I may say, is still in my hands, and I shail report to your Excolloney when I have com- ploted my investigations.

HIS EXCELLENCY-You wish to withdraw

the resolution?

Hon. Mr. PLAYFAIR-I withdraw the reas- lation.

HIS EXCELLENCT-I have no doubt the Directer or Pablic Works will investigate the matter fully.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL remarked that the opinion of the jury in the coilapan enquiry was that the walls were not think enough.

The COLONIAL TREASURER-A common jury. (Laughter.)

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL-A commouesnes jury. (Laughter.)

The Dinecion of PunLIC WOske proposed the following amendment to subsection of clanse 101: The thickness of walls prescribed in sub-section 1 of the socti u shals apply to station abt exceeding 15 feet in height and said height shall be measured from the centre of the for joists to the centre of the writing joints. The walls of any building containing stories of greater height susa lo feet shall in increase in thickness in proportion to such greater hight." The whole of the first sentence to be deleted.

On the suggestion of Hon. Mr. SUAR, the clauses was re-committed.

Sub-section 3 of section 12 had the following rabric-Tie rods required for external walls more than 3) feet in length."

Hon. Mr, SHARP, referring to the provision that ti vode should be placed not less than 10 feat apart, said he had it on reliable authority bat 10 feet sted much, too close, and the instatice had boon brought up of a building already having steel joists built into the walls. his would still require to bare additional tie roda 14 inches in diameter, every 10 feot.

The DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS said that was not intended. If a building was so co structed he should be perfectly willing to wairs the provision of the tie rods provided the joists bad bolts secaring them carried through the wall and washer plates on the end.

On the suggestion of the ATTOLNER GENERAL, an addition was made to the effect that the Building Authority should have the power to modify the requirements of the section where necessary.

In connection with cauan 123 (corbels to be of stone or bricks) the following addition was made The entire thickness of the wall throughout the height of such corbelling shall also be built in cement-mortar,"

In the enge of clause 138, which provided that verandahs and balconies were not to be enclosed or obstructed, it was pointed out by the HARBOUR MSTER that it would preclude a householder from aven putting a chair out on his verandah.

ENQUIRY INTO COLLAPSES OF BUILDINGS,

PRAYA, E. ST, Yesterday afternoon, before Mr. F.A. Hassland and a common jury, an official enquiry was opened into the circumstances attending the fatal collapse at 45, Praga East, on 2nd Anguet last, resulting in the deaths of thirteen Chiness. Mr. F. B L. Bowley, Crown Solicitor, appeared on behalf of the Govern ment, Mr. II. W. Looker of the architects, Messrs. Leigh and Orange, and Mr. C. D. Wilkinson of the contractor. Mau Wo. Mr. A. §. Honper watched the cans on behalf of the owners, the Land Investment Company, of which he is sosrotary.

Mr. Bowly addressed the jury and asked them to dismiss from their winds any procon- ceived opinions they might bove formed sogarding the collapse. As to the house, it was four story ons standing at the corner of Praya East and Nollah Laue, Wanchai. On the igat of the collapse the top floor was unoc- eupted, but the second, first and ground floors were, tho last by a baker. There was a typhoon in the vicinity of the Colony on 2nd August last, oud between 10 p.m, and 10.3 p.m. the wind, according to the instruments at the Observatory, had a maximum speed of 87 miles an hour.

tion of 2 houses for the Land Investment Company. Ultimately a contract was entered into with a Chinaman who trades ander the name of Mau Wo and who has been a contractor in Hongking for 25 years, Messrs Leigh and Orange also engaged on behalf of the ownem two overseers, and in the carrying out of the work the architects were entrusted with its supervision and in seeing that it progressed in accordance with the plans and specifications. In dealing with the case, the jury would have to hear in mind that each person was responsible for his own branch of the work, and was not xcused by the neglect of another. Most of the evidence in the ease would turn probably upon the construction of the walls. The side wall was 66.feet in height, sud the Ordinance required that such a wall should be 22 inches thick on the ground floor stories, 18 inches ou the next two stories above, and 133 inches on the top story. These were the minimum requirements of the low. The wall was 43 feet 11 inches long, without any retura or scans wall. The Public Works Department had not taken the trouble to exercise discretion in any way by adding to the thickness of this well, so it was to be mesumed that the Department approved of it. The cost for the 7 houses was $62,500, including certain extras. As to the materials, the jury would probably find that the bricks were good but that the mortar was poor. There had boon a deviation from the plan, concluded the Crown Solicitor, and owing to this there had been 'formed a sort of recess in the wall into which the wind blew. If the houses had been con- atructed as originally planned that revses would not baro boan there and the wind could not have got into it..

And on sach Tabel must be found the following Notics and Bignature.
