A noticeable feature iu the proceedings of the Waterside Commission at Dunedin (says the "Otago Daily Times") is the inquiries 'made for suggestions in respect to remedying defects complained of. Such suggestions arc often forthcoming. One witness suggested, as an improvement, that experienced tank workers should be appointed as inspectors of ships’ ballast and other .tanks, instead of inspectors of machinery, as at present. This witness had about twelve years’ experience as a tank worker, and gave his reasons .for,-, thinking that a tank worker would bo. q more competent tank inspector than would ah engineer.

There is a feeling amongst certain members of the Otago Harbour Board (says t(ho "Otago Daily Times’’) that Mr Mason (the board's consulting engineer) should have been given an opportunity of submitting a report on the condition of the boiler of the tug Dunedin. Mr Mason, who is now resigning from the position of consulting engineer to the 'board, is a mechanical as well as a civil engineer, and was i,n receipt of a salary of £oCO per year. Some members seem, olso, to have developed a scepticism us to the value of the report of tho committee of inquiry set up by fhornsclvng to go into the history of tho planning, construction, etc., of tho cracked boiler. A view that is frequently expressed by members is that the pressure of 3801 b to the square innb to which the boiler was subjected under |;ho Government test on its trial run laid the foundation of tho weakness which has now become so pronounced ns bo cause film condemnation of tho boiler. Whatever tho ro-

port of the inquiry may elicit, it would appear Mwt if a decision is come to by the board to endeavour to repair tiho damaged boiler in preference to obtaining n now one. the pressure in ft w ju bo £H> restricted by the Government ongineers Mint the usefulness of the Dunodru will bo severely curtailed.
