PUBLIC INSPECTORS.

TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—l was not surprised at Or Larnach’s remark at a recent council meeting when he stated that the motor inspectors were “ a lot of duds.” There certainly is very little evidence of their work. Pray, how do they fill in their time ? Countless breaches of traffic law are made in this city every day, and as long as nothing happens there is nothing said or done. Perhaps they occupy their time in much the same way as the health inspectors. Somewhere about hist Easter I saw a notice issued to a city baker, referring to the wrapping of bread in newspaper, the practice of which was ordered to be stopped. The newspaper used was from the paper office direct, and was not contaminated in any way. I suggest that the health inspectors would do more good if they prohibited shopkeepers from exhibiting goods at their doorways in such a way that they are exposed to the filthy habits of dogs along. There surely must be something wrong with our inspectors when a councillor gives vent to his feelings ia such a way.— I am, etc., Observes.. November 19.
