POST OFFICE SITE.
TO TUB EDITOR. Sir, —1 wish to endorse the remarks of Mr S. B. Macdonald relative to the stagnant water lying in the Post Office foundations. It is steadily rising and becoming a menace to those who have to work in the vicinity. When it becomes frozen, as it surely will during the winter months, we shall no doubt hear of some adventurous boy who has scaled the fence to investigate and provided work for the coroner. Then, perhaps, the Public Works Department will set about closing the stable door after the horses’s escape. Cannot the mayor set the ball rolling and communicate with the Minister in charge, while you, through your columns, endeavour to wake up our local M.P.s to have something done? Mr Jonas lias already mentioned the matter in the House, obviouslv in vain. Has the local health officer no jurisdiction over such a menace in our midst t Indy we are mom hmg-sull'ering than our North Island relatives Imagine what the people of Auckland would say to a stagnant lake in Queen street! Let us hope the pumps soon get to work.— ] am, etc.. Mudj.-msk. Mav ;i.
