SAWDUST
A correspondent to the ‘ Auckland Star ’ writes, —‘ I have noticed lately tons of|this useful commodity being thrown into the Freeman’s Bay intake. Kindly allow me space to make two suggestions for the benefit of the public. First, it is a splendid substitute for earth in closets. Dry earth is not anything like so easily procured, and it is not desirable to have our garden soil removed by the night carts. Secondly, it makes with coal tar nice footpaths, very much easier for the feet than sand or shell and tar paths. Cleanliness is akin to godliness, and you cannot beat good, clean, wholesome sawdust. Take a friend’s ad - vice and do not allow it to be wasted, when it may be had for the cost of the cartage. If my suggestions were universally adopted the encounter which all and sundry, male and female, have at some time or other to endure when returning home late at night would be very much less dreadful, not to mention the convenience to our brothers engaged in the noisome work.—l am, etc., P.B.P.
