NOW IS THE HOUR.
TO THE EDITOR. '■ "■ ' Sir,— read of numerous meetings, com* mittees of inquiry, etc., but we want immediate action, not to wait until Auckland is declared infected. Why not at or.ce have 20 carts and 50 men put on to cleanse the city from end to end, and to either daily or thrice weekly remove all refuse, and rie lip some form of destructor to burn all the rubbish and rats collected. Two shillings or 3s per, . dozen should be offered for all rats delivered to the carters. What, is the cost to the in-,' jury to this port if wo fail to do what, we can to keep the city clean, and as far as pos- v sible free from disease germs.—l am, etc., P. A. PHitira.
