WHY IS THERE NO INSPECTOR OF NUISANCES?

To the Editor of the New Zealander, Sik, —It was with pleasure that I read the rem which appeared in your issue of Wednesday r* touching the Bafeaar which some time ago it i &St ’ ' templated to hold for the benefit of your Rifl e y i° n ‘ teers, and which it was, indeed, supposed by Un I the Corps was very properly abandoned/ la/ °f think, Sir, that I go too far in saying that the m ? >°' ment is received with anything but favour among tt" members ot the Corps, and that their surprise at hj ing of its re-introduction is quite equal to that win,' you yourself have given expression. Apart from th consideration that the very'liberal aid afforded by th 1 Provincial Government has obviated the /tcp 1 sity of a bazaar at all, it would, I think, sirable that the officer commanding, and the cq C mittee (if any such body as the latter does exisn should take into their serious consideration that ’ about the time mentioned for the holding of the tecr bazaar, several bazaars, having for tb«^ 4i Kj ect t ?" benefiting matters of a charitable and relig,.Rg natar 6 arc likely to take place, in favour of which it appeal to me that the Volunteers, one and all, would readily retire. Bazaars, Sir, have become favorite institutions in our community now, and arc the recognized means bv which matters of a religious and charitable nature having legitimate and proper claims upon our sytnp a ! tides and better feelings, are supported and coante' nanced, and I cannot refrain from expressing opinion that the party with whom originated the idea of helping our Volunteers by such means were indiscreet in their zeal. Let those in command take steps to render the Volunteers a torce to which it will he an honor to belong, and I’ll be bound to say that the public of Aucklaud will come forward and giv e t h em die utmost assistance, without its being necessary to resort to the (for a Volunteer Corps) undignified mean; now proposed of “ raising the wind.” Besides, Sir, can any one shew where and what is the necessity for a Volunteer bazaar? If I remember rightly * one hundred pounds was the sum voted by the Council for for the band, and although I have never heard what was the exact amount gathered by public subscription yet I have reason to suppose that the public of Auckland contributed very liberally on the occasion; and these amounts ought surely to have sati.-fied the requirements. I do not desire to trespass further on your space, Mr. Editor, but before concluding let me express a hope that the Volunteers of Auckland will take some means, public protest if necessary, of making iheir voices, heard on this subject. Yours, &c., A Citizen.
