THE SEPTIC TANK.
(To the Editor.) Sir, —I am at a loss to know what object the goods shed hands can have, other than the preservation of their health, in attempting to force the hands of the borough council in connection with above. I am also loath to believe that those men who signed the merchants’ petition had any ulterior motive in doing so. I am an outsider and possibly my friends on the council, consider I have no right to criticise them. I however beg to differ inasmuch as I have children attending the town schools, and as a rule epidemics are no respecters of persons. When are the people of this town going to realise the danger they are facing every day? Probably not until they hear the earth dropping on the coffins of their loved ones, when they will curse themselves for their apathy in allowing the present dangerous state of affairs to continue- sc long. If it is a face that one of the signatories to the petition was unable to show Mr. Wilson what was wrong, then I am sure there must be some explanation, the tide or wind may have been a factor in the case, or he may have had a severe cold in the head.—l am , etc., V. H. FROST. Mangorei Road.
