Because of them, there is apparently little chance that the ill-fated Princess Kathleen will be replaced in the near future. J: Until recently hope ran high as the CPR had all but completed negotiations for purchase of an American ship aerating out of Boston, namely the Evangeline. Although she is a vessel that has seen long service off the New England coast and could hardly be brought up to the standards of the Kathleen in modern comfort, the Evangeline was considered quite satisfactory as a replacement by those who looked her over. Then one major disadvantage became apparent which cancelled all plans the Evangeline had wooden decks. Under the latest regulations, all new vessels built for operation in Canada must be fitted with steel decks. Although the Evangeline does not mi'alify as a new ship in point of age, the Canadian government takes the view that her purchase would put her in this category. For this reason, her hard-ivood decks did not receive approval. While no criticism can be made of adherence to safety regulations, the provoking fact is that the Evangeline is just as foolproof as other wooden-fleck ships in these waters which were operating before the regulations went into effect. She has all the proper bulkheads and a modern sprinkler System, as required by the safety standards. I To change her decks to steel not only would be a long and excessively costly operation, but would almost certainly upset her entire balance. Under these circumstances, in short, the deal is off. This unexpected development puts a discouraging aspect on future passenger travel along the coast. It means that the badly-needed replacements of ships gone or going will probably have to be' bj-and new ships. While such ships would be eminently welcome, construction costs have gone so high that the supply is unlikely to keep pace with ' the need. Passenger ships being a traditional and vital part of B.C.'s commerce, it would be a tragedy tc allow their trade to. languish at a time when the opportunities are greater than ever. If there is any real danger in their operations on the west coast, It is not in their structural qualities but in faulty navigation. More attention to this point would be fi greater contribution to safety than the installation of steel decks. ; No doubt the latter is very desirable, too, and should be enforced when new ships are built. Meanwhile, no one could accuse the federal authorities jbf being remiss in their duties if, to prevent a shipping shortage, they were more generous in their technical definitions of vessels now operating. middle of a plot of land meas- j """"dous amount of work going urine about 10 000 acres.
