THE SEWAGE QUESTION.
TO THE EDITOB. Sir,—With your permission I should like to insert a few lines in your paper this evening on what I consider a most important matter. The public may not genemlly be aware . that typhoid fever is in our midst, and unless something is done immediately to improve the draitage many a home w\\\ be sorrowful tins summer. Sir, it is not alone in one locality that passers-by are sickened by a "nauseous smell"; but iu several parts of the City the same odor arises. In Lcith street the reßidcstß ate complaining bitterly. From my own knowledge throe fatal cases of typhoid have ocourred within a short period. Two young women buddonly cut off, and a young man in the piimc ot a useful and honorable life. Trusting that some abler pen will take the matter up.—l am, etc., Precaution. Dunedin, December 24.
