NUISANCES.

To the Editor. Slß,—Allow me i>> thauk “ Another Eucalyptus” for his remarks upon the coudr ion of our part of 'he town, for suiely it is a disgrace to a respectable body of ratepayers; for my part I cannot imagine what they are thinking of to submit to stuch neg'ect so quctly. The principal reason of my writing is to draw the attention oi the Sanitary Board (if iheie is such a body in Dunedin) to the condition of tire gutters in Cumberland, Fr derics, and King streets, which, now we have had a few tine days, have turned to a green, putrid, stinking mass of filth ; and, more particularly, to call attention to a spot in the section next the Bap tist Chapel in Ki g street, wh-ue it seems to me the contents of a drain are oozing out of the bank in a black horrid mass, where ducks and geese wallow, their gambols helping to disperse the pestilential odors about the neighborhood. Hoping those in authority will kindly bestir themselves and do their duties —I am, &c., A Lodger. Dunedin, January 19.
