REMOVE THE CARCASE!
(To the Editor). Sir. —ln a recent issue of your paper you referred very properly to the want of proper sanitary laws being enforced in our town, poiuting out the evil that would most likely result if drainage and other sanitary matters were not attended to. Now, Sir, in the face of your good advice :ne of our most prominent citizens has allowed a dead horse to he dragged within fifty yards of the cottage in which I and four other persons reside. I may further state that this disgusting object was dragged to where it now is on Sunday morning. It is now Monday night, and there it lies in all its hideousness with its entrails torn out by dogs, within fifty yards of liiv front door. 1 atn sorry to trespass on your space, sorry to have to rush into print at all; but. Sir, the line must be drawn somewhere. This is not the first, or even the second, time the same thing has transpired. I could take you to two other recent graves of defunct horses all within a radius of a short stone's throw from where I live. If we have an Inspector of Nuisances I hope that he will s«e to it that this plague spot is removed from amongst us. Thanking you in anticipation, I am. Ac., Grouge Kidd. Pahiatua. April 30th," 1894.
