WHO HAS BLUNDERED?
TO THE EDITOR. ' Sir,— Oa passing up the approaches to the Southern Cemstery to-day I was very much difconJfitsd by having to pass over—shall I call it a fever-bed ?—a lot of refuse out of the city sewers.. The sun was pniriug down, ■which caused it to ba the more noticeable ; in fact it was most unbearable. Now, Sir, there must be some line drawn at the material for blinding a road, especially in so prominent a placa as a' public cemetery road.' Perhaps our city fathers desire to economise at the expense of the public by making our sick rate heavier by mistaken economy in using such abominable rubbish ; or is it that ths fees charged are not enough to pay for better aad cleaner miteriali ? Perhaps our Sanitary Institute can bring its influence to bear on the authorities to alfier by removing such a fever-bed from our midst.— I am, &c, February 19. Clean Road 3.!
