TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—l admit I’m grieved —nan’t help it—got sanitary bias, on the brain—read all about your nightsoil trouble and Tucker’s paddocks. If driven into lengthy discussion on gaseous vapours, don’t mind saying that your Borough Council regulations are—well say worth what they are worth, and that's very little. Now it is but a few days since that a row cropped up touching yonr earth closets and Inspector of Nuisances about the contract for nightsoil. The contractor very properly alleged that people who wouldn’t pay should have their dirt left on their own premises considering there are 250 to 260 closets whose unsavory secrets have to be carted to remote diggings to ensure the well being and sanitary condition of the population. I, for one, think tlu.t the individual upon whose olfactory and nervous energies this particular trouble depei.ds should he protected by Act of Parliament in his charges.— Yours, etc., Mixed.
