Smoke And Smells.
To the Editor. Dear Sir,—l do not know if the law provides me with any protection against smokes and smells, but I am bothered by my neighbour’s chimney. Why, I ask, must people take it into their heads to burn rubber, old boots, rancid fat and apparently all the vile odoriferous burnable things they can lay their hands to, on these beautiful days, and in particular, when the wind is in the direction of my windows ? It may be due to an excess of zeal on their part to have a frequent autumn clean, but it is very nasty to me, and I take the opportunity of suggesting, through the hospitality of the columns of your paper, that, for the sake of the goodwill of their neighbours, people who have odoriferous rubbish to burn should have it taken away to the city destructor or else bury it.—l am, etc., SNIFFY.
