THE RUBBISH DUMP
Sir,—l would esteem it a favour, if you would allow me a little space in your paper. On going to the dump with a friend last night, to dispose of some rubbish, to my astonishment and disgust we saw 60 to 100 rats running away as we approached. Before long, Sir, your town will be overrun with rats and as you' know they are disease carriers. The Council or Harbour Board should poison the rats, the poison which could be easily laid down at night, and what left taken away .early in the morning. . Another thing Sir what about our Health Authorities? Cannot they see the danger? Yours etc., WELLINGTON VISITOR.
