BEAUTY SPOTS DEFILED
HEALTH OFFICER’S WARNING From, Our Oen Correspondent PAEROA, Wednesday. Picnickers who litter beauty spots with rubbish and filth have again come in for castigatior at the hani c of Dr. Chesson, medical officer of health. In a letter read at a meeting of the Ohinemuri County Council, he said that complaints made regardine the conditions at some holiday cairping places, and the disgusting conditions in w’hich camping and visit ing parties had left the land, h-id been found to be fully justified. ‘ h seems strange,” he said, “that sone people who in ordinary life would themselves complain if a nuisance existed in the neighbourhood in which they reside, should, when they so away camping, behave in a manner which disgraces our so-called civil it*’ tion. Typhoid and other diseases might be transmitted by such carelessness, to say nothing of the nuis* ance caused by flies and mosquitoesThe prosecution of offenders was suggested, also the appointment of temporary inspectors to supervise the more popular camping places.
