CTo the Editor^
Sir,—l was pleased to notice that in to-day's issue pf the 1' Standard" you. called .attention to tiro fact that a dead fbpdy, Mg-hly dccoknposocl, was left im the morgue without • amy disunfeetiant being used,. atfd'aTt ./allowing this to •' take place it' seems that the local authorities are intent ■upon- aiddui«- insult to injury...; Such ■a state ■of affairs is worse . than scandalous, and should not be tolerated. ' In fact, the morgue haivamgl. been' erected in such a "tihickly-popu" laied locality, without being connected with the seweragp is astan'ding monument of the stupidity of those \vho are responsible for-..put-ting it there, and it shows great indifference on the part, of the. health authorrbiete that such a icondutfion ;of affairs should be allowed to exist.-----1 am, etc., . injured-Ratepayer.
