HIKUTAIA CREEK WATER.
Sir,—■ hi your issue of the 20th i; i.s staled that "the impurity of the Hikutaia Creek water is caused try x: Natives making a sewer and garbage « disposer of the creek.” Speaking with a full knowledge of the position, I would like to say that there are only three families of Natives living on the creek bank, whereas there are twenty families of Europeans, besides all the men at the mines and about a hundred children at the school, be* fo"e the water reaches the cheese factory. So why blame the Natives for the whole of the contamination <■! tlm water ? FAIR PLAY. Hikutaia, February’ 23, i 924.
