CORRESPONDENCE.

(To the Editor). Sir,-—Will you allow me space to contradict a statement made by Mr Dobson, the Borough Engineer, to the meeting of Councillors, last evening, to the effect that I refused to treat the gorse on the abattoir re serve with my specific, Lixall. I give this an emphatic denial. Some time ago a motion was passed that the Council give Lixall a trial. After reading the report I waited some days expecting an order from that body for a quantity of Lixall, with which to give the trial. . As no order came, I waited personally on the Engineer, and, instead of getting the order, he requested me to give him a tender to treat the whole of the gorse, "no cure, no pay," which I refused to do, as it was contradictory to the motion of the Council, but I wrote, at his request, stating a price that I could supply the same at, and agreeing at the same time to superintend and instruct those whom the Council employed to apply it. I wish to say that I have already given a test to the Council, which I claim has proved the efficacy of my specific, and I ask that the Council may, in a body, inspect that test, in justification to myself and to my specific, Lixall.— I am, etc., TOBIAS MILLER. Cole Street, Jan. Bth, 1907.
