At the presentation to Mr W. E Young yesterday morning in replying to the toast of the Chairman tho Mayor took exception to the loading articles which had appeared in the Tim ns during tho week regarding the sanitation of the town. lio considered that tho articles were not justified. Ifie town was stated to lie unhealthy, but this was not represented by facts. The death rate was as low in Gisborne as it was in any place in New Zealand and there was no more sickness in this district than thero was elsewhere. It was detrimental to the district for people to be told that thero was poison in every yard of soil throughout the place Such was not the case, the town being as healthy as many places where thero was drainage. He was in a position to speak with confidence because ho was always looking about for imformation Ho was very much annoyed at the statements which he claimed were contrary to the facts. Mr Ambridgo sup ported tho Mayor’s remarks, pointing out that the Lodge that ho was connected with not only had the highest earning power, but hail the distinction of having tho lowest aide rate for 21 yoara past of any lodge in the colony. He understood that the Forosters Lodge had a similar experience and it was only fair to suppose that the Foresters and Oddfellows got a mouthful of microbes now and again.
