A short time ago I made enquiries and found that the coolie who attended to my home visited aine ather houses in the district for the same purpose, but he had to hand the ulne dollars over to a “headmar ] }

Now, what I should like to know is this: What do we pay rates and taxes for?

Is there any clause in the contract for the removal of the night soll authorising the con- tractor to charge $1 per house? Where can the inspectors be when such a disgusting state of affairs as that reported on Monday is allowed to exist?

And how long shall we have to wali, before we see a change ?

To have such relate dumped in the drains under your nose is really too disgusting and the sooner the officials take serious notice of the matter the better it will be for the Colony in general,
