SANITARY REFORM.
Gentlemen, Citt Councillors,— With the kind permission of the Editor of the Evening- Mail I wish to address a few remarks to you. Before commencing to agitate this momentous question I deeos it my duty to explain rhy readdns. ITirstly, before success can be accomplished in introducing any reform there must precede it that unwritten law called private opiuion. Many members of the Couucil consider that when they have appointed an Inspector they have done all that is required ; now, as far as the Inspector is concerned, his office is a failure unless he liable to advise as well as to order, and it is my opinion he can do no such thing Therefore I have talceu this step to bring my invention before you with the confidence that the public as well as yourselves shall know that they need not bo annoyed with the eacape of foul air from the common sewer or any. stench from tbeir closets, therefore the Town School Committee, tho College Governors, and the ladies' school mistresses most certainly ought to send for me, as I claim for tny invention tho following benefits :— First j It is simple and cheap ; Second : It is perfection ; Third : _ It saves 300 per cent per annum from the nightman. I am, &c, G. Witney, Toi Toi Valley.
