City Patchwork.
(To the Editor.)
Sir,—l do not pretend to judge whether or not the Councillors are to blame in tho matter of city expenditure, but I
would enter my proteat against any false system of economy tbat tenda to prolong the miserable patchwork one seea hereabouts — gutter • raking, fine ecoria to be washed into said gutters, heaps of mud to be again deposited. The kindly raint huve for thcpresentsuppres3ed typhoid, scarlet fever, diphtheria, etc., but nothing ehort of a thorough system of draiDago will render Aucklandere that g°0(l health which is not to be measured by a few ehitlings ia rates Nothing will enhance the value of property more than a low death -rate- and cheap and comfortable means of locomotion. — I am, &0., TjO'DON STREET, POSSOSBV.
