TRENTHAM INQUIRY.
CONTINUED TO-DAY,
WELLINGTON, July 19
Mr R. W. Holmes, Engineer-in-Chief of the Public Works Department, gave evidence to-day before the Trentham Royal Commission. He said that up to the present he had had nothing to do with the erection of hutments. On Tuesday last he was asked to take charge of all work. He considered the hutments fairly satisfactory. They would be rather cold on a frosty night and some attention would have to be given to ventilation. With regard to sanitation he considered the collection of sewage was satisfactory, but disposal after collection provided greater difficulties in view of the ground possibly becoming clogged with particles of solid matter. He had under consideration means for dealing with this.
