A NUISANCE.
(To the Editor.)
Sir, —Will you permit me through your columns to call the attention of our City Fathers to the site on which they have directed that a public urinal shall beerecbed, and which work is in the course of progress, just ab the corner of the Ponsonby and Karangahape Roads, in immediate proximity to the reservoir in which our water supply is kept. Much noise was made some time back when it was suggested thab the city abattoirs were in too close proximity to the Western Springs, bub it has apparently never struck the Councillors thab the water is just as likely to be poisoned by the stench and filtration which proceeds from a public urinal when .rected almost on the brink of the reservoir in which the city water is stored. Then common decency demands that bhe work be shopped and another site chosen (say across the Ponsonby Road). The posibion now decided on will in many ways be offensive bo bhe public.—l am, etc., Observer.
