BANITARV REPORT.

The Sanitary Inspector, Mr A. L Cooper, reported as follows : On Saturday, the 16th November, my attention was called to the stato existing at the end of a drain loading from the Globe Hotel. From this hotel at the south-eastern corner of the property a dram empties itself into a ditch running along the northern side of Buckland's land. At the end of the drain pipe there is a thick slimy collection of fluid which continues for severe! yards and eventually disappears amongst weeds which are growing in the ditch. If the public health is to be guarded some provision must be made to take the fluid right away.—lt was decided to ask the owner of the premises to have the drain attended to The report was adopted.
