FREEMAN'S BAY ODOURS.

At the meating of the City .Council last pjirht a letter was read from Mr Joseph Beecrofb as follows :—" Something should be done to remove the stink pob in tho intake next Pattoraon.street, Freeman's gay. The hot weather is upon us and the gteacli ab times is something disgusting. It is little use to urge inability to proceed w jth the work for want of funds. Tho public health should be the corporation's first care. Don't delay until an epidemic begins to decimate the population of our otherwise healthy city, and then console yourselves by Baying 'Who would have thought it.' Gentlemen, let mo urge upon you thab tliia is a serious mattor to the residents of Ponjoaby. and were it nob for the fact that our representatives for the wards have long tince loafc the sense of 6moll, wo should ab least occasionally hear of ib in the deliberations of the Council." The Engineer reported having examined the Bay, and did not find trace of a nuisance. He pointed out thab the Bay waa the property of the Harbour Board. The Mayor thought the letter should be returned as uncourteous, seeing thab the writer had not given the Council credib for doing its best, »nd had also suggested that tho ward members had losb some of their censes. The letter waa received.
