TO THE EDITOR.
g IE| —When advocating that the National Council of Women should take the above subject in'hand, I was perfectly aware it was the duty of-the City Council to have control of all matters of this kind.. I had, however, in my mind's eyo that end in view, in this way: Tho, present Government profess to legislate for the benefit ot tho masses, and, knowing they go in for advanced legislation in all directions, the National Council might have induced.them to erect lavatories in the, four, centres, not as a precedent, but a3 an example for others to follow, as every little town would want tho Government to do the same for them,' and they might do so if a town attained a certain population before asking to be subsidised 'in this way—the City Council to undertake to keep them in thorough repair and cleanliness. The City Council are as poor as Job; • but, if assisted by the Government, there should be no difficulty, in the way. 1 think, Sir, if you were to apply your pen m as vigorous a manner as you did in advocating the erection of tho .'city abattoirs, I have no fear of the result.—l am, etc., Reform Mucn Wanted.
