THE BELLEVILLE BOILERS.
REPORT OP THE COMMITTEE.
The interim report of the Water-tube Boiler Committee appointed last September has been issued (says the "Spectator"). To put the matter briefly, the committee approves the water-tube boiler system in principle, but absolutely condemns the Belleville type, recommending that it should be retained in completed! ships, or in ships so far advanced! that any alteration of the type of boiler would delay their completion, lt also suggests that if a type of watertube boiler has to be decided on at once for use in the Navy, eoime or all of four types other than the Belleville should be taken. The report of the "committee is' a great .triumph both for Mr Allan, M. P. , and the " Pall Mall Gazette," for both consistently denounced! the Belleville boilers, and demanded' investigation. It would be unwise to attempt to minimise the seriousness of- the report. The waste of publio money on these boilers has been prodigious.
