One was that he did not think all the grades allowed sufficient fall to give clean flushing, and the other was that whore areas ran to a corner, such as tlie Point,. Wbataupoko, instead of syphoning the effluent under the river, the tanks could empty direct into the river, as the effluent was practically harmless. Even, the doctor added, if the effluent was found to cause a nuisance, lie could suggest a cheap scheme to get over the difficulty. Miss L.
