SANITATION IN GISBORNE.

[To The Editor.] 1 Sir,—-ii desire to draw attention to the verypmsatisfactory' state of affairs ,rixich exists in regard to borough saniiation, that is so far as my own experience. is concerned. I should mention, firstly, that'it is necessary in connection Uth ~the private hospital conducted by myself, that I should keep a speejaj (right pan. independent of the ordinary bne for hospital use. For four weeks [ had this pan left out to be emptied, and for four weeks the nightman perUltently neglected to empty it. When lie did'the work was so carelessly or .clumsily done that a beastly puddle was left in the vicinity ready to breed (smells and disease. I would never have, mentioned the matter but have (tried all other methods without avail. Constantly I have made complaints of [the irregularity and the carelessness |.of tlijo flight service, hut a.\tlioug/h [the inspectors seem to give every attention to my protests, there seems to. fbe something lacking somewhere, and 4o the faults are allowed to continue. P might say that the present and. any future' omissions on the part of the [Borough sanitary officials will be entered down in my hospital book, which is [kept for the inspection of Dr. Yalintine. —I am. etc. H. HAVERS. j Lytton Road. ! “ „
