WIRELESS APPARATUS.
PASSENGER STEAMER REGULATIONS. (From Our Own Correspondent.) WELLINGTON, March 7. Sir James Mills, managing director of the Union Steam Ship Company, was questioned to-day regarding the new regulations which are to be issued by the Marine Department, requiring the installation of wireless apparatus on intercolonial and ferry passenger steamers.'
Sir James Mills had little more to say on the subject than that the regulations when t-liey appeared would be complied with by his company. The intercolonial passenger steamer, he. remarked, were already equipped with wireless. As to the ferry steamers, the installation seemed scarcely neccssary, as three propeller boats were engaged in this service 'and the runs were short. On being asked whether the Union Company might not forestall the projected regulations by immediately equipping the ferry steamers, Sir James Mills replied in the negative. It toot some time, he added in explanation, to obtain the wireless plant.
