PLAGUE SPOTS.
(To the Editor.)
Sir,—We did not get the plague, but Ihere is no doubt we richly deserved to be visited by the scourge. Anyone who takes the trouble to wander far from his own doorstep must soon discover that -the an* we breathe in this fair city of Auckland is not always the purest, nor the scent of the same" air exactly that of roses or violets Passing a fruit shop in one of our chief thoroughfares the other evening, my nostrils were assailed with a ste-neh strong enough to knock oue down with the plague at fifty yards distance. Talk about the bubonic rat!-why, he is a mere innocent tiling compared to a plague spot like the .•hop mentioned. 1 think it is a disgrace that people should be allowed to keep shops whero the odour of decaying fruit, etc., makes the air positively noisome.-I am, etc., K' J'
