Death of a Cat
Sir,—Touched by the pathos of “Desperate’s” letter in Wednesday night’s issue, I venture to .suggest that the decease of the putrifying feline so nobly and honourably interred by our desperate friend, was not caused by its precipitation over the rocky declivities of the Sheehan street pot holes but by a whiff of. that chlorine gas, which so nearly fixed our revered building inspector. I further suggest that “Desperate' raid 'the Waipaoa pumping station anc remove therefrom a. cylinder or so of chlorine gas, administering same ir appropriate quantities to our somnolent City Fathers, thus removing the chance of them inflicting further white elephants upon the long-suffering burgesses of Gisborne and getting hi; own back for tlveir culpable neglect ol Sheehan; street. WALRUS.
