The Feilding Star. Published Daily. FRIDAY, SEPT. 15, 1893. INSPECTOR OF NUISANCES.

We aro glad to see that the Borough Council havo commencod a campaign against those persons who, indifforont to their own comfort and health, as well as to that of their neighbors, prefer living in a state of filth to that of cleanliness. The vigor now displayed should exorciso a general beneficial influouco all over the Borough by directiug tho attention of every householder to his own surroundings. We notice by tho proceedings of the Council last night that it is intended to invite applications from porsons desirous of undertaking the duties of Inspector of Nuisances. This is rather a surprise, because we, and many other of the ratepayers, were under tho impression that tho Town CU'rk had boeu appointed to that position some years ago, and we know that he has up to the present time furnished the Council with official reports us Inspector. Of courso if the Council has beou satisfied that the Town Clerk cannot do the work efficiently in the time at his disposal, an extra man will havo to be appointed, but whether the ratepayers will be pleased with the additional expense remains to be seen. On tho other hand wo do not disputo the absolute necessity which exists for tho rigid inspection of nuisances in order that they may bo abated. Filth is the gioat gerinitiator of disease, aud tho more precautions thero are taken to prevent its accumulation, the luss risk there is of the outbreak of epidomics. I CHELTENHAM DAIRY FACTORY. _ Thk Directors of the Cheltenham Co- | operative Dairy Company are evidently businessmen who understand the character of the work they have undertaken to perform, with all its risks and responsibilities. They intend, at a meeting to be held on Monday next, to propose that the capital of the Company be increased. The object of this is to .enable them to extend their sphere of usefulness, and erect creameries in seme other centres of population, within the radius of tho present factory. That the proposal will be adopted by the shareholders wo confidently believe. It must be obvious to them all that it is much better for the .Company to employ only their own capital. It is cheaper, safer, and without risk. Where factories, or, in fact, companies of any kind, are started without Bulh'cient capital, it seldom takes them long to get into difficulties which too often end in liquidation, with total loss to the imprudent investors. When it is too late the directors find out that they have made a mistake and bitterly repent that they did not show a bolder front at the outset. This is why we commend the Directors of the Cheltenham Company. As in the homely proverb " they are not going to reach out their hands further than they can draw them back," and therefore they intend to act with prudence and caution, and yet with the courage which is a great factor in success. They know that with a Biiriieiency of capital they can work wonders, while if they are h impered for the want of it their eilorts are certain to bo unprofitable. They have sufficient share capital for their present needs, and the new capital will only be expended in the proposed new works.

Tiik many old Wellington settlors in this district will learn with sincere regret of the death of Mr W. 11. Levin which took place in Wellington today. The deceased gentlemen was distinguished for his amiability nnd open-handed generosity, as well as for his ability as a representative when in Parliament, and his usefulness as a citizen of Wellington, to the advancement of the best interests of which he contributed so largely.
