CORRESPONDENCE
FLIES, STABLES, AND DISEASE.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —I am more than astonished at the extremely lax way in which Dunedin deals with the above danger. lam a traveller, and hi the course of my goings and comings I can at onco tell, by the hotels and boarding-houses I stay at, whether Tolk “ swat the fly ”or not. Dunedin folk arc the slackest I have met in Australasia. I have seen manure heaps in stables in Port Chalmers, Kaikorai, North-east Valley, Green Island, and Ravcusbourne which have not known what a spraying means. I have manure heaps outside stable doors swarming with myriads of flies, and those manure heaps arc where the flics breed. They are a real menace to your city and citizens. Why not make the owners of stables spray them with disinfectant daily as is dohe every, where else?—l am, etc., Flyblown. December 4.
