A COMPLAINT.
To the Editor. Sib, —The establishment of gasworks in Ashburton was no doubt a great boon to residents, but it must be admitted we have to pay a fairly stiff price for the privilege of having this system of lighting. 1 for one would not complain of the price, provided the gas was good, but.latterly it can only be classed as abominable. Nut only is the light inferior, but the smell emitted from the burners, and in the neighborhood of the meter is offensive to a degree, an A I am afraid dangerous to health. If something is not done to remedy it, those people who have gas in their homes will prefer to revert to the primitive candle or kerosene lamp to laving their residences pervaded with the odor of a charnel house.—l am, etc., i A SUFFBKBE. [Our own experience quite bears out tbe remarks of our correspondent, and we have heard numerous similar complaints as to the inferiority of the gas and the bad smell during the past few weeks.— Ed. G.]
