BOROUGH BYELAWS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. Sib,— Will you kindly allow me a little space in your paper, as I regret to see that the Councillors have overlooked or omitted the necessity of having the wells cleaned out or proper water supplied to each dwelling, which, I think, would be a great boon to health. This should have been the first consideration ; then, nightsoil a second. I also think the Council should strike a rate for this purpose, as in other things ot less importance, or where there is less money attached to it, for 6d per week is far too much. The remover would be amply paid at 3d. Surely this is a paying game. No hard-working man is making such good money, no matter huw hard he works, early or late, to do so. Have the Councillors allotted mutable places for the buryiug of night-soil :' Or, is the whole of Feilding '3 refuse to be placed within less than two milea from the town, and on such a small portion of ground at that ? Is this what the Councillors call health '? Certainly they have not used much discretion on behalf of their fellow townsmen. 1 am, etc., Fair Play. Feilding, October 3rd, 1«93.
