SHAKESPEARE ROAD NUISANCE.
[to the editor.J
Sip.,—ln a sub-leader yesterday you had the folio wing in reference to the waste water from the bars of the Occidental and Empire Hotels:—"The water in both cases comes only from the bar tanks : aud how to get it into the sewer without a sink-trap in the house is the puzzle." Allow mc to say that it is not any puzzle at all. AVlmt was the siphon shaped drain pipe invented for but to provide for cases of that kind : J The Inspector of Nuisances should have had no difficulty in settling that nuisance long ago. Thou again, you say the water is perfectly clean when it leaves those two houses. No doubt it is : but how far does it get down the channel before it is foul liquid. And asraiu, aro you prepared to assert that the water—not tho bar-tank water—but other water that finds its way down that channel, is always clean ? There was something that looked uncommonly like soap-suds trickling along its fetid course this morning. You began good work in calling attention to the nuisance, and residents and foot-passengers along that locality would rather you did not spoil it by talking about * puzzles," and " clean water."—l am, kc, Eyks axd Nose.
