FOR SAFETY AT SEA
Committee of London Congress
Completes It's Work.

London. Dec. ls-The Committee on
Llfe-saving Appliances, appointed By the
international Congress on SAFETY al sed'
has agreed on its recommendations
which will be sumitted 10 the congress
early next month.
The principle OF boats for all has
been accepted, subject TO the proviso'
proposed by the British delegates that
where the fullest use is made OF the
space available for the fitting OF davis
pontoon RATS may be provided for % per
cent Of those aboard. and lifeboats OF a
recognized type for the remainder. the
lifeboats may include limited NUMBER
OF motor boats.
on the initiative OF the American dele
gates an important recommendation Is
made relative to the danger from ire
namely. that no passenger vessel should
carry a cargo of such a nature or slowed
In such manner as might be calculated
to endanger life or the safety Of tho snip.
Other recommendations relate 20 patrols
for the detection Of fire and steam pumps
for extinguishng II; regulations for the
manning OF passenger vessels and the
number and qualification of boat hands
On the latter point a great divergence
OF opinion was shown. The American
delegates suggested one years service at
sea as the qualification, while other dele
gates favored three years service. Event
ually recommendation were adopted in
accordance with the current practice on
large liners.
As the committee comprised thirty eX-
perts. representing all the nations par
tlclpatng in the conference. it is believed
that the congress will adopt the recon-
mendations.
