THE FEVER HOSPITAL.

/ .To the Editor. ' Sib, — The people of Dunedin invariably raise ' a iiue and cry when it is too late, as witnots only one of the many instances, “viz., “ The Fever Hospital on the T >wn Belt ” Several* letters appeared in your columns Warning thel citizens on this subject before the. bunding was started. No notice was ‘'taken of this by the public uctal; it was found that thtoliosr>ital on the Town Belt was- an- accomplished feet. Kealljr m d'.e&lre tosuffer foS* such inexcoifeble inertness. -•••' • s ■->. , My object,-however, in miw ' wiitihg is to draw tliM «tteni ion of tbe dia utints to at analy.-ia pf the signature* on the-petition presented 10 the Mayor, which' wil be found to principally consist of persons not living near the hospital, It appears that the phblic living near the bnildlg have wisely :withheld the r ■dgnattires f- r the - re-eut, which shows so.far a sp.Tit.. of disinterestedness, and there ; oie -epels the insin ation that tße agitation ha< he-i. nuiolv - O'up by residents near the hospital. In Bussell street and adjacent ne ghborhood there is a strong, feeing against the fever hospital being Jretafeed in its present position, and they would be most wiling to sign.a petition for its instant removal, mam ! y on the pritciplethat it is a grievous injuiy to the pubic to alienate any portion of the.Town Belt, which should be held sacred ' for healthful re' Creation.—l arix, ftp., ; - -•.-■■■ , * Pabbnt. ; DuuediQ,-Eebruery2,:., i Y r ; , v; ’I •*• '"’r»
