ORIENTAL BAY

AND THE ALLEGED RUBBISH NUISANCE.Oriental Bay residents are complaining of the nature of the filling that M being used bv the corporation behind the new sea-wall on the eastern side of the Buy. The same matter cropped up last summer, and the summer before, when it was explained that the filling consisted of street sweepings, mostly grit and house manure, which was said to be quite innocuous, and the stuff was being so deposited for economic reasons because the corporation had no other tip convenient to.the.city. Some two years ago a Bay resident applied to the City Engineer for leave to deposit; some clean.earth on the foreshore that was being reclaimed, but the request v;arT 'refused beeauso tlio snace was required for a corporation tip. The cost of conveying street sweepings out to one. of tho outer bays or foreshores would, .be very considerable, yet that alternative"will have to bo faced when the Oriental Hay wall is completed." Bv that • time, however, tho -proposed Thorndon reclamation may be in progress when a new tip will be created at the northern end of the city. Tho filling that is boing used, is not rubbish, but. harmless street sweepings, which at limes is in demand for gardens, so that, according to the corporation officials, it cannot Iw very offensive. If there wero dead dogs on tho foreshore in the Bay the public, could rest assured that they were not "tipped" there, but were probably animals which had been purposely drowned in t'lie harbour by tliejr owners.
