“Smell Has Priority”
“The smell has « priority because it was there years before the land was built on, so I say good luck to the smell,” Mr R. H. Stillwell said at the Christchurch Drainage Board’s meeting last evening. He was commenting on reports of complaints of smells alleged to come from the board’s sewagetreatment plant, and said that on two days there had been complaints from only 15 homes in a thicklypopolated area. This showed that a great number of residents realised that the board was spending thousands of dollars trying to abate the nuisance, he said. The smell in the area had been much worse years age before the board built its treatment plant; but people had built homes there, knowing there was a smell.
