BUILDING COLLAPSES,

After several adjonråed· sittings of a trio of Hongkong jurors, the walghly conclusion has been arrived at that the deaths in the Morricon Birest collapses were due to the collapse, the collapse was due to defective.walls and that the occurrence was not due to any negligence op the part of the Public Works Department, but that there should have been a more thor- ough inspection of the buildings. All this is doubtless illuminating and the Public Works Department may well congratulate themselves for belog so easily exonerated from all blame,bus It appears to me that the fading of the Juryls somewhat paradoxical and is in itself contradic- tory, now could the Public Works Department betotally fran from blame it admittedly therewas an absence of a thorough inspection? Would it not have been more logical to say that ba cause there was an absence of a thorough in- spection somebody was to blams and that that somebody was obviously the P. W. D.?
