The City Engineer and Surveyor aid he had received no, complaint about the wall. Since the accident he found that there was no founda- tion to it. He could not say from external observation that the wall was unaufe. It was not the type that would be built as a retaining b.wall nowadays.

A source of danger to buildings, the danger from he added, was vibration arising from heavy traffic, and that was present in this case. For safety he would have shored the wall.

Evidence was given by those en- gaged in digging the trench that they had no idea the wall dangerous. To avoid a water trap they were forced to dig the trench three inches from the foot of the wall at the point where it collapsed. One Corporation official express- ed the opinion that the digging of the trench had little

do with the collapse of the wall, and that it was more a 'coincidence.
