CORRESPONDENCE.
(To lie Editor.) Sir.—As wo have heard quite a lot lately about the gas works being a non-paying concern, may I -ask how it is that the Inspector of Nuisances, etc., should be called upon to go meter reading? Is it because the output has assumed such an enormous increase? If not, why is assistance not required at the point of production? There has been quite a lot of comment in connection with a certain borough employee giving assistance in a case of distress. Was the ranger.‘also employed in a like act? If not, why not ! And was he, employed with the consent of the Council? Judging from the time that the ranger puts in in connection with the gas works, it's about time an apprentice was employed there to do the extra work required, so that the ranger can he released to carry out, the work Unit is required of him. Sir, if it is good enough to haul one person over the coals for doing something without the consent of the Council, it's good enough to do the same with others, more so as no excuse' can he found for employing extra labour for meter reading. Who pays for the extra labour for (his work, and under what heading?—l am. etc., RATEPAYER.
