compact bulbs can last six or seven years.

Expert Says
New Carissa

(A P) — A consultant hired by the
N ew C arissa’s insurer has told Gov.
John K itzhaber that it w ould be safer
to let nature deal w ith the w recked
freighter than to rem ove it from the
beach.
John N oble, a L ondon-based ca­
su a lty su rv e y o r, sa id th e s h ip ’s

vors to w oik aboard. C oos B a y ’s

likely, he said.
“ I w o u ld n ’t w ant to be associated
w ith this op eratio n sh o u ld it go
ahead,” said N oble, chairm an ofB M T
M urray Fenton. “I do believe, given
a few good storm s, nature will deal
w ith this lum p o f steel .” N oble and
the ship ’ s insurers m et last w eek with
K itzhaber, Secretary o f State Bill
B radbury and T re asu re r R andall
Edw ards, the three m em bers o f the
State L and Board.
K itzhaber dem anded last year that
B ritannia Steam Ship Insurance re­

N oble said he would w rite the same

spokesm an said the governor’s origi­

ready to change our position at this
tim e,” said B ob A pplegate. “I think
th e re 's a pretty strong feeling that
the w reck constitutes a risk. T here’s
a risk to rem ove it, and th e re’s a risk
to leave it. I f it’s left, the risk falls to
the state.”
Bill M ilw ee, salvage consultant
for B ritannia, said he w ould press

gaining access to the w reck to exam ­

a firm to perform a risk analysis and
plans to m ap the w reckage and the
