WANTS LOOKING TO.
TO THE EDITOR OP THE NEW ZEALAND TIMES. SIR, —As I walked along Vivian-street on Saturday afternoon, I saw a man trailing a sack across the paddock at the rear of the residence of his Worship the Mayor. I watched him and observed that on arriving at the gutter in the centre of the paddock he deliberately emptied a lot of what appeared to be decayed vegetable matter and the general refuse of a household into it. Would it not be a good thing to look to this, and clean out this, filthy gutter, which seems to be made the receptacle of all sorts of abominations ? Vcrhum, sap, but I have no doubt his Worship knows, the rest, and as he resides in Taranaki-street; he will take care that what should be a beau-; tiful field and a healthful breathing place, shall not be made a medium for bringing fever; and pestilence in our midst. Apropos of fever,: I see the boy who cleaned the drains at the College has caught it. It seems to me therehas been gross culpability somewhere to have allowed them to have got into such a state 1 where so many young and valuable lives were at stake.—l am, &c., Oxygen. . Nov. 6, 1876.
