HAMILTON SEWERAGE.
Sib, — Have we an Inspector of Nuisances m Hamilton or have we not ? If we have, the holder uf the office is not worth his
salt, or he would not have permitted, and still permit, the overflowings of houseclosets and other filth to find its way off private premises ■ and' filter down the gutter along the footpath m one of our main streets. I allude to Collingwoodstreet. To-day, this gutter was being cleaned out by the men employed by the Council, and a pretty stench there was m front of people's doors. Not that the cleaning out mends • matters. The same refuse finds its way down a little more freely — that is all. Now, sir, I would ask the Inspector of Nuisances and those who employ him, to see to this matter, and not allow private individuals to fee subjected to such a nuisance, and typhoid fever to be introduced into the town. — I am, &c, T.B. Hamilton, September 18, 1878.
