THE DUMP AT LITTLEBOURNE
TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —A few days ago I read with interest a letter in your paper concerning the Littlebourne dump. Why the City Council and the health officer allow this common rubbish tip I cannot think. The residents in Littlebourne pride themselves on this being one of the most select residential suburbs in Dunedin, and yet it possesses a common tip of a kind that should not be tolerated by the health authorities in any slum area. Do the members of the Amenities Society look on it as desirable? It is rather interesting to examine the gully. One finds a goodly collection of old clothes, bedroom crockery, tins, etc., to say nothing of garden refuse and fat. Here is an ideal breeding place for the rats which trouble the nearby residents. Why is this place left in an unsanitary condition when there are so many unemployed in the city?—l am, etc., Sanitas.
