In order to ide a greater depth • of water in the harbour of Montreal, i it. has been decided to construct seven submerged weirs between the Island of Montreal and Sorel. The work will be begun concurrently with the opening of navigation on the St Lawrence River, , at an estimated cost of approximately 1,500,000 dollars. It la estimated that construction of the submerged weirs , will take about two years, after which an additional two feet of water will be available in the harbour of Montreal, and a minimum of 30ft of water at all periods of the year will be obtained. The ultimate object, it is stated, is to provide 35ft of water in the port, and the construction work will be undertaken with this in view. The remedial works are expected to overcome the decreasing: water levels of the St Lawrence River at Montreal, which have been the subject of considerable comment in recent years, and which have been attributed by some authorities to the diversion of water from Lake Michigan to the Mississippi River through the Chicago Drainage Canal. The Wahine, which was recommissioned at Lyttelton on Wednesday, is in command of Captain B. B. Irwin. His » deck officers are:—Chief, Mr J D Bundle; second. Mr J. c * S. R. Ward. The docile officers of lue Maori are: Chiet, i. ■ second, Mr W. 11. C. Mill ward; third, Mr J. Watling. Mr A. G. M. Christie lias been appointed chief officer of the Maratna. According to a decree issued last month, the name of every French seagoing vessel must not only figure on the r stern, but also on each side of the bow. This is already done in most countries, one of the advantages of this practice being to render tho identification of a ship easier in case of a collision. The decree also provides for an increase In the size of the letters forming the ship's name, the minimum dimensions varying according to whether the vessel Is under or over 2000 tons gross. Tho new rules apply to all merchant ships and pleasure boats of 25'tons gross and over, but fishing vessels are excluded.
