REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OF INQUIRY.

At the meeting of the Legislative Council on Tuesday, the Director of Public Works submitted the following report of profcedings of the Public Works Committer at a meet- ing held on the 24th January last

The Committee continued their considera. tion of the questions referred to them which were contained in the following minute by the Colonial Secretary :~You (Director of Public Works) are requested to submit to the Public Works Committee the question of apportioning the responsibility for the delay which has occurred in the erection of the Tsim Sha Tsui Market and for the addi- tional expenditure which has been incurred in connection with it."

are

of

On the question of the responsibility for the delay, the following decisions were arrived at:-0) The Committee opinion that the time allowed for the com .pirtion of the contract for the erection of the building, namely, 12 months, was inadequate, and they consider that is ironths would. have fren a more reasonable time to specify. They recommend that, in future, contractors, when tendering, should be required to state withia what period they are prejsired to com plete the work to which their tenders relate. (2) T Committee consider that a serious error was made in failing to despatch the indent for steelwork until 9 months after the leuing of the contract for the erection of the building. (3) Taking all the circumstances into account, the Committee consider that the Crown agents and other parties concerned with the execution of the indent were responsible for a part of the delay. (4). For the remainder of the delay which occurred, the Committee consider that the contractor is solely responsible...

With regard to the question of additional expenditure, the Chairman explained that the contractor had not yet agreed to the final statements prepared in connenion with his contracts for the building and the fittings and the actual cost could not therefore be re- garded as finally settled. The information, which he was able to lay before the Coin- mther was as follows-Amount of original of revised- estimate, $65,000; amouni

estinute arrived at by taking the amounts of the various contracts let and adding the actual cost of foreman's wages, etc., etc.. $5484.04; actual cost as uscertained by

measurement,

etc., but not yet finally settled, $56,584.67; from which it will be seen that there has been no increase in cost

over the estimate, but that, on the other hand, there has been a saving of about $2,900 on the revised estimate, which is fully $6,500 less than the original estimate.

•Referring to the Frahm anti-rolling tank, he remarked that some seven vessels fitted. with it were already in service, which, with those new building, would make a total of 280,000 tons. The principle of the ingenious device was the time-worn law of the swing of the pendulum, under which the period was constant for any give length of arm. Bodies that could oscillate about an axis of equilibrium swung strongly when repeatedly acted upon by comparatively small impulses if the period of the impulses was synchronous with that of the oscillating body. Every ship, by reason of her lines, her metacentric height, or other features, permanent or tem- porary, when due to any particular loading, had a definite and natural period of oscilia- tion or roll; and on the principle of setting. a thief- to catch a thief, the Frahin anti- rolling tank had been latroduced. It utilised a secordary and artificial resonance in order to minimize the influence of the primary resonance between-the--wake and the ship. The secondary resonance was introduced by Ushaped tank, in which the water columns could oscillate the same number of times per minute as the ship rolled per minute.

HAMMOCK BOOM. Moreover, the enlarged accommodation for the oren, both within the ship, where hammocks can be lung, and kace-bole tables are provided for the officers, and on “deck," where a super- struotare, giving space for a certain amount of free movement, has been fitted, gives these vessels habitability which contrasts favourably with many torpedo boats and destroyers of the

earlier types.

Since submarines are little affected by the weather, given decent habitability there is no particular reason why these craft should not make the pessage to, say, the Caps in perfect- safety.

So far as weatherlins la concerned the boats of the class, which were sent out last year to Hongkong, proved that even the smaller type of submarino has little to fear

from an ocean voyage.

WHY GUNS

Ja forthcoming as to the [No] reasons which have prompted the naval su thorities to mount guns in submarines. It is not easy to see what class of vessel they sendi engage effzotively with gunfire.

It was thought at first, that, possibly, the innoration was experimental, with a view to testing the possibility of giving larger ships, carrying heavier guns, & riengure of submergibi
