AN UNDESIRABLE PRACTICE.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir.—l draw your attention, as well as •that of the health authorities to a practice that has apparently come to stay in St. Kilda, and that is the filling up of building sites with all the house refuse that is collected in the borough. Two sections that are covered by water every year after heavy rain are just being m ade i ready for building upon, and this morning. at'7.2o, three carts were busy emptying their contents of dust, ashes, tins, and vegetable matter into excavations made. To my mind, after wet weather the houses built theron can hardly be looked upon as sanitary, and would just be the place to harbor and breed fevers. Does anyone wonder that enlightened people want amalgamation in St. Kilda; The sections referred to are not the only ones at present being used as a tip, and it is to be hoped the health people will K-e to iis discontinuance.—l .am. etc., Sanitas. June 2.
