A BUILDING MISTAKE.
Mr. E. M. Hazeland also applied that the Board allow that portion of the lane which his clisat had provided at the rear of Nos. 7 and S, A Chung's Lane, a2 a scavenging lane, to count towards pen space as required by section 180. The houses had recently been rebuilt and completel, and by a mistake the building was not set out according to the plan and the aren of the opes apaco at the rear was thus reduced, | making the area less than one third of the roofed overarea of the buildings. They word two-story bui dings, well ventilated and lighted and No. É a as a corner hrusa
The latest is to the effect that she sailed laden nothing is heard of the steamer. with ammunition for some mysterious pert in northern Luzon, and a circumstance in connee- tion with the ramour is the fact that Collector Hongkong that she left that part with con- Shuster admits having received word from siderable munitions of war on board.
In respect of this Dr. Francis Clark wrote | MORE MANILA COMMENT ON to the Crown Solicitor-Would you mind tulling me how you would interpret section 139. of Ordinance 1 of 1903 P Can the Sanitary Board grant permission for the erastion of allow suck to be enclosed and used as bath rooms, sto., or does the permission allowed by this section relato solely to the letting down of blinds in such verandeha and balconies between sunset and sunrise? The latter is the pro- forable reading, so it is more in secordanes with previous legislation on the subject. The exception as regards blinds was interpolated at the instance of His Excellency Sir Henry Elake, but it was never intended that the word ing should carry power to allow all the other structures mentioned-in the ourlior part of the
scetion.
The Crown Solicitor repliol--I think the permission relates solely to the letting down of blinds at night time.
"AN INCONGRUDUS PROVISION." In November last the Board drew the atten- tion of Government to the language of the proviso to Sub-section 3 of Section 188 of the Public Health and Buildings Ordinance, 1965 as in the opinion of the Board it must buva been the intention of the Government to permit lenges coming within that provise to be re-ezeril'to a height not exceeding twice tho Dr. F.

It seemed only reusouable to suppose that the Legislature intended to lay down in the proviso the general jipoiple that houses fail'ng under the provise should be allowed to be re-erectal to u height not exceeding twice the width of the stroot.

The collector was very sceptical as to the reliability of the report, so much so that he did not deem it necessary to take any steps to verify it by dospatebing a bout northwards
The disappearance of the Legnapi is al- together abnormal, the conditions obtaining in these waters are equally so, and a growing number of people are beginning to trace a con- naction between them.

"A VEST REASONABLE REQUEST." Messrs. Palmer and Turner, architects and surveyors, applied (uniler section 180) for a modification of the requirements of the Ordinance regarding the provision of open space in the ren of uses Iouses in First Street, standing on the rear part of Inland Lot 877, which are about to be rebuilt. At the back of these houses at present thero is an open lane ton feet wide. Undor section 180 a scavenging lane six feet wide is required. They asked that the difference between the raquired with, six feet, -the actual witdth ten feet (vis, two foot for each corner), may be calculated as part of the pen space roqnized, although such opan space will not be enclosed within the yard walls but remain as part of the ten foot lane,

that this be suuctioned on condition that the gates are removed from both ends of the lane and that no further obstructions whatever be erected in or over the lane.

At noon of this diy, I made an attempt to find the drift of the ship by anchoring a life- buoy and allowing the ship to drift for half an hour. I failed to locate the buoy again, but knew the ship must bare drift d more than s mile to about S.S.W. because she drifted right off the bank the buoy was anchored on. Belfor ing that the Leguapi would, if broken down, use a sen anchor i estimated the drift at one knot per hour, and after learing the bank, laid courses that would intercept her between the bank and Palawan Island. Both day and night a lookout was iad and was still kept aloft, and during the night while on these courses a rocket was fired every two hours. Nothing, however, was seen of the Legospi or of any other vessel with the exception of the one on the first night cut.--Vary respectfully,

Dr. F. Clark minuted-These are both

The houses in the side lane on the opposite side are as high as this floor only. The occupants are well to do.

The Times of Crylon' recently reported that one of the harbour tugs
at Colombo had dented the plates of the French cruiser Fuscal; and it was further stated that the Commander of this man-of-war did not intend to raise the question of damages, al- though he was not prepared under the oircum- stances to pay for the use of the said tug. In this connection it will be interesting, perhaps, to know what are the privileges which a forein man-of-war enjoys in a British borbour over an ordinary morohantman. In the first place, sle may stay in the port of Colombe, for last nos,
as long as she likes of course, within reasonable limitations without paying a cost in the share of port dues; and as everybody knows, port dues are a not inconsiderable item in a Bhip's bill. This is really the main concession foreign-to men-of-war passing throu. h. which is granted in all ports-British or
Pilotage dues have to be paid by them, just aa by the ordinary merchants; and also, we understand, the use of the tug is granted only on payment according to tonnage. This raises a question in regard to the Pascal. Her cap tain, it has been explained, did not desire to press a claim for damages, which, by the way, are not very serious. Had he decided to do so, the international courtesies which govern such a case would have had to be put inte operation: and no doubt asatisfactory anderstanding would have been reached. But it would have been a lengthy basine and yards of red tape would captain was right when he decided that eight prob bly have been used; so perhaps the Freach days would not have allowed him sufficient time to see the matter through, Aushow the entents cordiate is a strong as ever.--Straits Times,

The American tramp seems to have inde his appearance in Manila in rapidly-increasing num- Lers lately. The news has been spread abroad on the mainland that a paternal Government deported all unfortunatee, paying all expenses, and the result has been that stowaways and minor employees on the transports have been in the habit of staying ashore there, knowing that in the last resort they were assured of transpor- tation back to the State-,
