DIRTY LAMPS.
TO THE EDITOR. Sib,*—l noticed in your report of the last meeting of our City Fathers that one of the members stated at the meeting that they (the Board) “ ought to t ike no notice of the public, or the Board would be set craay.” Allow me to ask this worthy member of the Board if he thinks the ratepayers have placed him in the position he now holds to defend the lamp-lighter or to look after their interests! There is a great deal too much of “You scratch ray back and I will scratch yours” in our public bodies. I would ask the members of the Board to examine the lamps at once, and to give u* in your next issue of the Leader an honest opinion of the satte of the lamps under their care. My own opinion is that for some time back the lamps have “increased the darkness,” especially in the case where glass bottles have had to do duty for lamp glasses for weeks.—l am, etc., Ore op the Public. Temuka, Bth Oet,, 1886, ,
