continually tumbling down and lives lost. It was Mr. L. M. Xavier gave evidenco" that the duty of Mr. Tooker to examine the plans and see if they complied with the Building Ordinance. Witness also said that there was nothing in the plan to show that the wall had any foundation whatever.
The Hon. W. Chatham, Acting Director of of Public Works, said that the only cause of the collapse was the badly built party wall between the two houses, and that the addition of a new storey, he had very little doubt, contributed to the accident. Mr. Chatham also stated that had he been, consulted as to the houses he would have considered it neces Bary to examine the walls carefully, knowing the buildings to be old ones, and if after an external and internal examination the walls were found satisfactory, he would then cal- culate what weight would come upon the walls by the proposed additions.
There was other evidence, taken, but space does not permit me to refer to same. It is sufficient to say that, in my opinion, the evid. ence clearly proved that the real cause of the collapse was the faulty construction of the party wall between the two houses, and that its fall was brought about by the addition of an extra storey comprising heavy beams and brick work. There may have been other circumstances which contributed to the collapse, such as the blacksmith's shop on the ground floor, or the showery weather prior to the collapse, or the de viation by the owner from the approved plans whilst altering the two houses, but these are problematical. The persons therefore to blame were (1) the architect who made no proper ex- amination of the houses (2) the official in the P.W.D. who passed the plans without making any examination of the premises.
masterly review of Mr. Bowley, in a the evidence, asked for a verdict that these patries were guilty of gross negligence in the performance of their duties. He also verdict that the Head of asked for a the Department was equally guilty with the others. I cannot agree with Mr. Bowley. If
the under officials found they were unable to properly carry out their duties under the Build ing Ordinance, their proper course would have been to have resigned their positions, and thus thrown the responsibility on the Government.

After a day's consideration Mr. Hazeland re- turned a most unsatisfactory verdict, and said that he was sending the evidence to the At- torney General, and it is to be hoped that the matter will not be allowed to rest. It is too serious a matter to pass by in silence, and until steps are taken to show responsible persons,, whose duties involve risking the lives of the public; that they must attend to them in a pro. per way, the lives of no one in the Colony will be safe. A Royal Commission would be almost as great a mockery as the first inquiry in this case. Commissions collect evidence and send in their report to the Government, and, as a rule, nothing more is ever heard about it, and when public opinion has quietened down, the old order of things is reverted to until another scandal is disclosed and then the same pro- cedure is gone into again. I think I am right in saying that Ordinances are passed for the protection of the public and that it is the duty of the Government to take proceedings against the officials and per sons responsible who do not carry out the provisions of the Ordinances. It is no excuse for an official, at the eleventh bour, to say he "hadn't time to do his duty." Although we live in a Crown Colony, surely we are entitled to have the laws enforced strictly, and the gen-Horwitz tlemen who hold official positions punished for neglect of duties they are paid to perform.
In August, 190, an article appeared in the China Mail regarding ferry building in Hong kong, and, although it gave rise to consider. abic discussion, the practical good it did may be seen in the state of the P. W. D. today..
I cannot hope that this letter will do any good. Even the press of the Colony seem unable to carry out any reform, How then can I, an unknown writer, hope for a better fate?
Yours, etc,
