SAFETY OF LIFTS.
EFFECTING IMPROVEMENTS. A GRADUAL POLICY. (By Telegraph.—Special to "Star.") WELLINGTON, this day. The Hon. G. J. Anderson states that, in advising the Government that inspectors, of machinery are not restrained in any way from exercising their full authority, the Public Service Commissioner says that the reasons why the latest safety devices for lifts have not been insisted upon in all cases is because they have been in operation for many years and passed as reasonably safe, and the inspectors have felt that it would be not only unreasonable but also impracticable to insist, all at once, on the provision of the latest equipment on every class and type of lift. Their efforts have been directed to effecting improvements as quickly and as reasonably as possible.
