Hull of the car ferry has been thoroughly checked over and found to be sound in every respect, The Guardian learned today- First an- nual inspection of a ship is al- ways the most. painstaking and ao- curafe.

"In an inspection of this kind ncw being carried out at Can- adian Vickers, Montreal," a de- partmental spokesman explained. “it is necessary to make an ex- ilhiivs series of precise measure- ments of the vessel and compare with the measurements made when she was launched. ‘In this way °l1iY is it possible to determine how the "Aibegweit" reacted to the various stresses and strains to which she was subjected during her first sea-son afloat in Northumber- land Strait."

To Cool

The pouring of the current foundation in preparation for the installation of a new steam boiler is already in progress at the Maritime Electric Company's Charlottetown plant, Ainaworth, general manager, told a Guardian representative yes- terday. The foundation work is being done by My‘, Schurman and ComparivLf-d.

The new boiler, Mr. Alnaworth said, is designed to burn pulver- ized coal or oil, and can develop 75,000 pounds of steam per hour. Wh n the installation is com- nl . which will be sometime in October or November of this year, about 5 per cent of its total fuel susnpticn will be coal, while the_remaining l5 per cent will be oil.

This changeover from the oil- fired boiler, which is being used now, and was installed with a new 4.000 kilowatt generator lest November, is being carried out in view of the rising costs of fuel oil and. the uncertainty of con- tinued supply.

1n conjunction with this new boiler, a coal pulverizer equip- ment, coal storage sPlce and con- veying equipment to feed the boiler will also be set up as part of the installation,

Mr. Ainsworth stated that a1;- though the use as pulvetiscd coal is more economical at the present time, should the need arise to change back to oil for similar reasons. the new type boiler will require éniy slight modification and possibly s week's won: to make the change.

He» also stated that the new turbal generator witlr an output of 7,500 kilowatts or aproximste- ly 10,000 l-LP. which is on order now, is being constructed in Eng- land. and will be completed for installation lrr 1060.

lllfll APCI

With reference to this sum- more program for the rural areas, Mr. Ainswortih said that no ad- dltlonal construction work would be_ carried out. Iloat of the out would be in hooking up new alb- scribers to the existing lines which have been installed in the past two years, and the comple- tion of the new line from Char- lottetown to Bordon, which was“ two-thirds completed last fall.

In addition, Mr. Ainsworth said, the re-buikiing and the raising of the voltage output between Charlottetown and Montague would be carried out, and consid- erable- re-buiidlng would be done in the City as well.

Asked by the Coroner if ..there ' was any drinking going. on, wit- ness said he could not see whether i there was or not from the card room. As the two men got to the door on the second landing, Mrs. McDonald opened the door and Pidgeon got‘ Mcwade through the door. witness said. Then. “I help- ed Pidscon. By the time I got s hold of him, McWsde was about four steps from the bottom. He fell face first against the wall. l-fe dropped to the floor. Pidgeon and l went down immediately.

Witness: "It was after McWade fell down stairs that Pidgeon wiped the blood off his face."

Coroner; "Margaret McDonald. swore that she gave Pidgeon a- handkerchief at the top of the stairs."

Witness: "I could not say that she passed him a handkerchief. I was busy trying to help the main up. I was in no condition to notice much. McWade might have been bleeding as he came down the stairway."

Coroner: "How long after he finished dancing before he went downstairs with you?"

“Less than l0 minutes." _

"How do you account for his taking ill so soon?"

“I don't know sir."

"Was there any disturbance that you heard?"

"No, sir."

"Why did all the men disappear after the accident occurred?"

"I could not say, air. I always- go home early when I'm drinking.“

"Is it not customary amen there i is an accident for the people to‘ stay around?" '

"Yes, I would say so, sir."
