CORRESPONDENCE.

(To 1 lie Editor). Sir. —It came as a mild surprise to me when reading the last issue of your excellent journal, to see reference made to a sanitary vehicle. With others who live near the centre of Commerce, and have so long enjoyed the advantages of an up to date water and drainage service, ] had begun to imagine that such things had long since been relegated to oblivion, apparently this is not so, as I’m informed that there is still necessity in the more distant parts of the borough for the cart to make its rounds. The time will no doubt conic when even remote districts, like Norbilon Hoad, will he connected up, but the moon is likely to he wax and wane (pule a number of times before that hailpens. Not that it very much matters, Mr Editor, about these outside places. Provided the business portion of the town is well catered for, we cannot go far wrong. Some may differ from me in tins view, hut I feel sure (‘Very good member of the local Chamber of Commerce will endorse it. However 1 will no longer digress, hut pass on to say, that, tin 1 installation of the above mentioned carl in the old park has ime or two advantages which may not have occured to your correspondents. Firstly, owing to its present get -a I -aide position any future candidate for scavengcring honours can get acquainted with its mechanism, which. I’m told, is highly complicated. Prior to this, no one except what might he called the inner circle knew of its whereabouts by day. Seondly, I might point out that the prevailing wind being from Ihe west, it will he helpful in diverting the traffic into Main Street, and I would suggest that the Conned obtain a second earl of a similar nature, use it awhile, and tln-n place the same in a good slragetie position in Johnston Street. This would have the effect of causing all the travelling public to pass through .Main Street, to the joy of our worthy tradesmen and the replenishing of their coffers. I will leave this thought with them. T remain Sir. your’s etc., FRAGRANCE.
