TITANIC DISASTER
LIKELY TO RESULT
IN LAW FOR SAFETY
Legislation Will Be Enacted
to Compel Lifeboat
Equipment.

Many signs are given that in the
aroused state of feeling over the Titanic
horror, legislation will be enacted that
will hereafter compel vessels clearing
from ports of this country to be ade-
quately equipped with life boats and
RATS.
Discussion of the subject Is rife on
every hand. Secretary of Commerce
and Labor Nagel may call a meeting OF
the board of supervising inspectors Of
the steamboat inspection service to dis
cuss the disaster.
1t Is agreed on every hand that had
some of the needless luxuries of the
I1tanic-the swimming pools, the Pa
risian cafes, and the palm gardens

There was no good reason. N my

last ten years there have been several
similar accidents where the ship held

about the Titanic going at half speed.

the fire department stated that the
opening of the street would facilitate
matters for the department in going to
fires.
An ordinance for the opening of this
street was passed several months ago
without opposition. When the assess
ment commissioners were working on

could be made to advantage. Recon-
