SMELLS AND NUISANCES.
(To the Editor). Sir, —Will you kindly allow me a little space in your valuable columns to point out to* the public a little of the seemingly one-sided > treatment meted out in our little town? In reading the court news a fortnight ago, I saw where a farmer was lined foxhaving bad drainage from his pig-sty, so causing a- nuisance to hi-s far-away neighbours. Now, 1 am going to ask you. where are our inspectors when they have not found the nuisances that still exist? I should say they must be sleeping. Ip not the smell of boiling-down works and digesters a much more disagreeable smell than the drainage fro'tn a'sty? What is the use of shifting one bad smell and leaving the others?. I have often been disturbed from my slumbers in the middle of the night with screaming of pigs, and it is not easy to get to sleep again when the air is thick with fumes from boiling-down works. Trusting something .will be done in the matter, —I am, etc., 1 FAIR. PLAY. Hawera, April 23.
