The official assurance that coal dust from the dump was not likely to constitute a nuisance is described as absurd, while there is the additional danger that the dump will form a perfect breeding ground for mas quitoes, thus menacing health as well as cleanlines.

It is understood that a petition will be drafted and presented to a general meeting of property owners and tenants of buildings "in the afflicted area" for their approval to-morrow, prior to its despatch to H.E. The Governor-in-Council.
