gate Tell some time ago, was brought up,
when Mr.. Sprague presented an order
directing, the filing of the reservoirs on.
Emery street near Spring: on Bracket,
near Carleton; and in Monument square,
together With an old well in Monument
square. .-~
Mr. LOW asked if the chief engineer of
the IRE department was not to make re-.
port on this matter.
Chief Engineer Eldridge was called up
on and said that he needed further time
to make full report but that the order
presented was in accordance with his sug
gestions.
Then Mr.. Lamson moved an amend
ment to the order that the work be done
by contract. The cost of filling the sewer
on Exchange street was $751;. That of
filling these other reservoirs would be
more.
Mr.. Rounds objected. Nobody could
tell just how much earth 1t would take to
fill these reservoirs. They were danger
GUS and should be filed before somebody
else fell into them.
The amendment was lost and the order
passed so three of the pitfalls for the un.
suspecting will soon be removed.

THE BOTRGOGNE VERDICT.

The verdict of the Canadian Court OF Inquiry
which has been investigating The BourGogne
disaster leaves many important points unset
tied for want of evidence on which 10 found

the captain and officers Of the Cr0martyshlre or
all responsibility for the collision and us con-
SEQUENCES and commendS their conduct through

ing an average speed of between sixteen ana
seventeen knots but frankly says that this Is
not proof that she was stcaming nj that rate
wien the disaster occurred. While not called
npon or empowered 10 pass Judgment upon the
Conduct OF the Bourgognc's master and officers.
tho Court directs attention 10 the fact that had
Captoin pconcle conforming 10 the rules laid
down for the navigation OF transatlantic steam
ers. followed the route to which the vessels or
other lines are required to adhere as closely as
possible the BourgOgne could not have been
nj the pont where she went down. Thus the
fault which the first accounts Immediately sug-
cested and which The Tribune ascribed TO Cap
tain Deloncle AT the time Is the one which the
Canadian Court makes conspicuous after a
painstaklng inquiry.
French line in this city replies 10 this ndict-
ment with the superstition that Captain Deloncle

struc,on Of his ship for the purpose OF avoiding
icebergs. being guided by reports for which
commanders are always on the watch and 10
which they are bound to give due heed This

does not expect TO he either established or re-

The broad fact is that most steamship compa-
MES out Of regard for safety and under com

adopted certain routes. in the belief that there
is an advantage In following them, while the
French line is not party TO the agreement and
permits greater range OF choice. We would
not carry the suggestions Of a single incident
too far, but the fate Of the Bourgogne does I'M
mstnkably strengthen the conviction that the
deliberate Judgment Of the most skilful navi-
gators is not TO be lightly disregarded. II like
