STREET WATERING.
(To the Editor.)
Sir, —Now we are to have a Health Commissioner here, it seems an opportune time, to again let it be known in an open letter in the columns of your paper, that the real cause of so much typhoid fever in Gisborne lies in the fact that the town has been continually sprayed with water from a creek polluted with the drainage of the grave-yard and institutions along the river bank, and two or three of the dirtiest town drains possible to -imagine. If watering from the Taruheru creek were stopped, and the tanks and spouting cleaned, Gisborne would again bo one of the healthiest towns in New Zealand.—l am, etc,,
A, I. Ross.
