DRAINAGE OF FEILDING.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE 3TAK. Sir, — The abovo subject has been uppermost in the minds of our leading citizens for some considerable time past, and this last, and in fact present, month ; has shown the necessity of doing some- ' thing that will be more practical than mere ideas and thoughts. As has been already stated by our local physicians, the health of the town is being jeopardized to , an alarming extent by the amount of , stagnant water that is not only in . outskirts of the town, but unfortunately" is seen, and smelt too, in the centre of our square. Several are the schemes which are floating in the realm of ideas, but none have yet come down to the practical : sphere. Amongst others, there is one < which I consider might be caught hold of j to add to the present and future prosperity of Feildins. A connection between the Kiwitea and the Oroua rivers, passing through the centre of the town by means of large pipes, would. I consider, serve . the purposes both of draining the town satisfactorily, and also be the commencement of a complete sewerage connection. Space prevents me from dwelling on the feasibility of the idea now, but I trust an abler pen than mine will take the matter up. I am, etc., TTfat th Feilding, September 20th, 1893.
