A GROWL.

.' ■. »— — (To th Editor of th Waiharapa Daily) Masterton, Jan. 27. Siy,— I There is a cage at the back of the Town Hall which, for the purpose for which it is assigned, will answer very wpll,. viz,, for locking up unregistered dogs., •Buiwhafc is-going, .to-be done with the' dogs for whom no owners can lie found,' or ruthef Iheiv carcases, for we hear, that they are to ho poisoned. The .night con- [ tractor might raise some objections. •to . taking there away when the time comes," i whereas if it had been mentioned in his ■ contract he could'have raised none. An* s other thing to be mentioned while on ' this subject of nightmen is, that if the contractor had been bound to have pro-' ■ vided chloride of lime or some such disinfectant to strew about' boxes .' and ' cart' '■ sanitary measures would have been better [ carried out, than by leaving it to-the house* , .holders,to provide chloride of lime for [ their own use and benefit. We prophecy ; that there will not be three-fifths of the ! householders in Masterton use chloride of i lime unless'compelled, to do so by law, I- and to make a by-law to have this carried- ■ out will cause a' deal more work to the ' Inspector of Nuisancos than if the Ooun- : cil had in the first place mentioned the&o | things to the contractor for the night soil\ ' &c; j : : 1 Q. [We believe arrangements have been 5 made with the. contractor for disinfect* . ants.—Ed. W, D.j .
