PROGRESSIVE BUCKLAND AND RATS.
Sir, —When a community sets itself out to distribute advice gratis and to generally put itself up as an example to the places immediately surrounding it, it assumes a very responsible position and the results are much the same for a community as for an individual, and the individual who sets himself up as an example to his fellow men has to be mightly careful how he behaves himself or he may prove himself ,a stumbling block. However it has not got quite as bad as that with the community in question, but it might revive its defunct sanitary laws and keep its streets clean of dead rats (five beauties). Beautifying Societies are very admirable, but beauty is but skin deep. What is the good of beauty when the more deadly microbe is allowed to flourish unheeded and unburied. My advice is consider your ways and take ,the mote (a big one too) out of your eye and then you might see to take the beam out of your neighbour’s.—l am, etc., PUKEKOHE.
