Mr. D. Tellan, engineer of the Telephone Company, said that he went to Shanghai Street In com pany with Mr. Murray. When he arrived the two, wires had been cut away.

Mr. Lindsay has already been acting, as the Association's nomince, on the Board of Education during the absence on leave of Mr. B. Wylie, whose term of office has now expired.

Yes..

Mr. Turner: To what do you attribute the breaking of the telephone wire?-Some foreign matter coming into contact with it.

Roughly speaking how many feet apart are the brackets sup- porting the wire?-About 10 yards.

Outside the question of foreign matter striking the wire, do you consider the wire was strong en- ough to withstand the typhoon ?--- In certain conditions. If the typhoon struck along the « wire, there would be practically no effect, but if the typhoon struck across the wire. it would impose considerable strain on it.

Am I to, take it that that strain might snap the wire? Yes, it might.

Were there many telephone wires found broken that day?- Yes, Quite a number.

The Coroner: That was not the only spot where the telephont wires cross the China Light mains? No, there are many more.places.

No Guard Wire.

And unless the power mains. are properly insulated they would be a danger to your wires if they fell on them?-Yes, we have no such thing as a guard wire in my district.

Do you consider a guard wire as a protection in a typhoon?--I do not think it would be of much use

ji

Mr. R. Cryan, electrician of the P. W. D., who also visited the scene of the fatality, found that all the loose wires had already been removed, but he saw four mains belonging to the China Light and Power Company, rùn- ning along Hi Lung Lane and into Shanghai Street. On three of the mains there were three, parts which were almost black. He de- duced from this that the wires had been exposed for some time.

The wires were braided. By braided he meant that they were copper or metallic wires covered by braid, which was usually made of jute. That was not, in his opinion, insulating but merely weather-proof.

On the brackets there were por- celain insulators. There were no guard wires to prevent the Elec- tric Company's wires from coming in contact with the wires of the Telephorie Company.

The Coroner: Have you formed any opinion as to the cause of death-In my opinion, if the cause of death was electrocution, the Telephone Company's wires came in contact with the Electric Company's maina. E

What voltage do you consider fatal-I have heard of 50 volts being fatal.

Answering Mr. Lewis, witness said he was aware that the Gov-" ernment telephone wire running from the Hunghom Police Station to the China Light and, Power Co., Ltd., "crossed the latter's wires in two different places and, that nejther above nor below. were there any guard cradles.
